God, this columnist hates his country. Why isn't he over there lending a hand instead of pounding out criticisms in his comfy computer chair?

I'm waiting for a column from him that dumps on the shortcomings of his own NYT instead of our guys striving to do a job over in the Iraqi mare's nest.

God, this columnist hates his country.

He doesn't hate America, he's just badly conflicted. I believe that in his heart of hearts he really is a right-wing hawk but he tries hard to suppress these feelings given that he thinks he is a progressive and he works at the Times. He just needs therapy to work through his inner demons.

Face it: he's about as close to a conservative Republican as one can get at The New York Times. Dowd, of course, is an incoherent lefty whose columns make no sense whatsoever. But think of what Krugman would write as a foreign-affairs columnist. He might be coherent, but his facts would be as far from the truth as those promulgated by a famous Iraqi, Muhammad Saeed al-Sabri.
