Friedman on Bush's energy policy...this is news?
In No Mullah Left Behind By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, published on February 13, 2005 in the Times, Friedman has "rediscovered" Bush's energy policy. He even quotes a report from the Wall Street Journal about the mounds of cash that Iran is taking in because too many Americans are driving SUVs.
With all the money, they've no need to come to terms with us on weapons or other issues. They are laughing all the way to the bank, with our cash.
This is news? Where the hell has Friedman been for the last four years? Now, after supporting the invasion of Iraq and the war without end, Friedman has discovered that maybe, just maybe, our interest in the region might have something to do with our economic interest in it.
Again, this is news?
I keep looking for a success of the Bush presidency. Just one.
He's put us in the red to the tune of hundreds of billions with nothing to show for it.
We are the laughing stock of the world.
We're at war and no one believes that we're going to be out of Iraq anytime soon and as for paying for the war, well, that's off the books. He'll let others worry about it.
And after all this, are way too much for me to go on about here, Friedman takes up space in the most valuable newspaper in the world to recount Bush's energy policy and to proclaim, (gee) that it had lead to making things worse than when he was selected president.
I suspect Friedman is trying to get his voice back. After singing the praises of the war for so long, he is now returning to an old standby, perhaps to rekindle some prior warmth from his readers.
Not from here.
