In that article, what real numbers does he submit to back his claim? Mostly it is generalities thinly disguised to bash Bush.

But I won't argue with you further, if you choose to believe what he predicts, then that's your business. For me, in this article, I see him as writing just another Anti-Iraq war, Anti-Bush piece as he has often done before, and not as a substantial numbers based article that backs his claim.

I don't "choose to believe" what he predicts. I just find automatic reactions, based entirely on simple partisanship, to reasoned analysis unwise and potentially destructive. This is the way liberals deal with conservative thought on the various dangerous moral, societal and financial paths we are taking now.

I don't think this strategy is any more positively effective when conservatives do it.
