Safire questioned the Bush strategy for Putin..He gave a long list of good coming out of good of Iraqi war..MoDO is mumbling something about danger of ends justifying the means...
Friedman wavers on good idea of war?..but admits the good coming out of it across the region..Says he is optimistic..Safire says the better it looks the more help we get..but talking about new suicide bombing in Israel.
Right track in Itaq.
He and Friedman negotiate the peace settlement with the Palestinians in the halls of the NYT.LOL..That part was fun listening.
Friedman always wanted the war to be about this war of ideas..
Safire ..On telling truth about WMD. We told what we thought to be the truth..but did you ever want to hear a contrary ideas(Timmy)NO!laughter
McCain weak on privacy issues on commerce committee(Safire)
but says McCain strong elsewhere, McCain and Rice for President.
Friedman saying Iraq is too important to leave to Bush..Dems who did see importance have been ignored on troop levels,etc..Dumb for dems to sulk on side. Iraq's success too important.
Neither seems to like Rumsfeld..(I do)
MO DO is comic relief?..She certainly adds nothing else..
LOL!
