But you forgot all their warnings once the US troops went in, much like most Americans, and you didn’t change your mind and come out for US withdrawal until it became clear that Washington couldn’t pacify Iraq.
Yoshie, are you really saying this to Doug? Or to a majority on
this list?
I missed this the first time around because reading every word of
Yoshie’s would be unproductively time-consuming. But this bit is
really offensive and dishonest. I said from the first that opponents
of the war in the US should take their cue from what Iraqis want - a
point that you & Carrol always found incomprehensible, presumably
because you already knew what Iraqis wanted, or should want. In the
summer of 2003, it seemed like a lot of Iraqis did not want an
immediate US withdrawal, or that they wanted some UN-without-the-US
force to keep the peace in a country whose state our military had
destroyed. It’s plain now that most Iraqis want the US out.
