War on Terror again
Harry take issue with Richard Norton-Taylor's Guardian article on the War on Terror. In particular, when Taylor says:"The greatest obstacle to reducing the threat is the US administration."
Which Harry says,
Not 'a obstacle', not even 'part of the problem' but the greatest obstacleI think this is just a bad sub-heading from a sub-editor. The sub-headline indeed says 'greatest obstacle to reducing the threat' but the article says:
It is hard not to conclude that one of the greatest obstacles to the kind of better world Blair says he wants - one with less cause for terrorism, even if terrorists will always be around - is the Bush administration, and notably the likes of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld
So it's 'one of the greatest obstacles to the kind of better world Blair says he wants'. I think, if like myself, you believe the Bush Administration is losing the War on Terror, then this is pretty hard 'not to conclude', as Norton-Taylor says.
Harry also complains about Taylor calling the atrocity in Beslan,
the latest manifestation of the so-called war on terror in the CaucasusHere I won't defend Norton-Taylor.
