oh this author is so breezy and cool, bopping off to Amsterdam (we all know why potheads go to Amsterdam and it isn’t for a conference unless you count a conference of substance abuse)

and coming back from a vacation when most people are struggling to pay for the overwhelming debt the administration has buried us with

so sorry he’s unhappy about the world going to hell in a handbasket while he was in a druggy daze

Time for you to go have an extra-large double espresso. What a load of crap you spewed.

"oh this author is so breezy and cool"

Most people consider the author, Craig Pirrong, to be a NeoCon.

So he is spouting off the NeoCon points just like McCain, or Cheney, or all the NeoCons.

The NeoCon talking points are that we won the war in Iraq, while Bush/NeoCons were in power, then Obama gave the victory away.

The reality is that we got our ass kicked in Iraq. We killed thousands of Americans, wounded tens of thousands, and spent trillions. And accomplished nothing except shift the power from the Sunni to the Shia, and now the Sunni want it back.

We left Iraq on Iraqi terms, not US terms. George Bush signed the Status of Forces Agreement and the NeoCons complain because Obama couldn't convince the Iraqis to sign another Status of Forces that allowed the US to leave troops there.

Generally I find most responses to articles here at FR have some degree of merit even if I disagree with the point made.

This mindless post fails to live up to those minimal standards - invective is rarely a point.

One need not go to Europe to find quality marijuana or any other drug for that matter.

BTW, capitalization and punctuation exist for a purpose, please learn to use them at your next law school.

If he wanted pot all he had to do is breeze to/Denver or California.

Unfortunately, I don’t see any flaw in his analysis.

“Although I doubt that ISIL has the capability to attack Baghdad successfully”

I would not bet the bank on it.
