Madness
Talking Points Memo quotes a man called Norman Podoretz, in the National Review:
He is a bristling gray ball of aggression, here to declare that the Iraq war has been "an amazing success." He waves his fist and declaims, "There were WMD, and they were shipped to Syria. ... This picture of a country in total chaos with no security is false. It has been a triumph. It couldn't have gone better."
This was on a National Review cruise, which I think is the sort of thing Christopher Hitchens lectures on. Which gets me wondering, is there anyone in Britain, on the Decent Left or Right, who takes the view of the Iraq war, that "it couldn't have gone better"? When you think of our own slightly crazy commentators - someone like Heffer or Philliips - I don't think it's true. Stephen Pollard is perhaps the best example I can think of, though even he surely has been critical of some aspects of it?
