Hitch celebrates the war anniversary
Christopher Hitchens Wasn’t Not The Opposite Of Incorrect About Iraq
So, you seriously mean to say that we would not be living in a better
or safer world if the coalition forces had turned around and sailed
or flown home in the spring of 2003?
That’s exactly what I mean to say.
It takes a couple of reads to understand exactly what it is he means
to say, but the last line from Christoper “Laff Riot” Hitchens’
defense of his agitation for the invasion of Iraq - which has turned
out so well - eventually makes itself clear: “I may not have been
right, but I wasn’t wrong.” Thanks, Chris. Maybe you can bring your A-
game along the next time you meet some of our female troops: they
could use a good chuckle. And, you know, they’re gagging for it.
So, Mr. Hitchens, Weren’t You Wrong About Iraq? [Slate]
