Paul Krugman has been right every step of the way about the involvement, whereas Joe Klein, Joe Lieberman, John McCain, Bill Kristol, and Fred Kagen have not. It is time to pay respect for the wisdom of Paul Krugman.
All that data must be flat-wrong, because as Joe Klein can tell you, liberals “aren’t trusted” on security issues. Once we’re finished with that, I guess we’d better un-inaugurate the Democratic House and the Democratic Senate which were elected by historic margins only a few months ago, largely on the basis of national security issues - I mean, after all, as Joe Klein can tell you, liberals “aren’t trusted” on such issues.
There are plenty of Democrats who have done their homework on these issues, but Joe Klein apparently hasn’t done his homework .
You did nothing to address the substance of the critique offered of Joe Klein by myself and others, which was the subject of my post. Perhaps you’re just not cut out for this Internets thing.
Joe Klein is TIME’s political columnist and author of six books, most recently Politics Lost.
His little blog post above doesn’t quote them, so I have to assume he doesn’t know their opinions
I don’t read too many blogs but I have never seen a blogger completely bashed on his own page before. As for his use of classic anti-Semitic canards, I am happy to report that the Jewish people will long survive Joe Klein.
Joe Klein and Bobby Fischer. A month on, Joe Klein is still catching a ton of heat for his claim of Jewish dual-loyalties his claim of Jewish dual-loyalties.
” Joe Klein is no Kappo, Just a Low-Life Scumbag Joe Klein is no Kappo, Just a Low-Life Scumbag,” is the headline from Yid With Lid.
Klein thinks Krugman’s right about a surge, and he also thinks General Kean and other military “intellectuals” are wrong about it.
When you are consistently wrong , it does not matter how much “homework” you do.you have NO RIGHT to more respect than those who are - and have been - consistently right .
If we’re keeping a record of who’s more often been right - Klein or Krugman, I believe the needle tips in Krugman’s favor.
Mr. I understand where Krugman is coming from, it’s incredibly wearing to be taunted for being prescient.
Of course, Klein omits the fact that others, not Krugman, called the surge “cynical” or “delusional.”
Isn’t it likely that the very counterinsurgency doctrine that you argue that is correct does not, in fact, support the idea of a surge because the “surge” of troops required by the plan aren’t available? Klein, if even one soldier or Iraqi civilian is killed because of this wretched surge idea it would be a sin of incalculable reckoning.
Once again, here’s Kein, reporting via stereotype rather than fact. Bush is about to make the debacle that is Iraq even worse and Klein’s complaint is that he doesn’t like the Democrats tone.
I’m not sure what “serious” is supposed to mean, but since Joe Kline thinks that all the people who were right about the invasion were unserious, and the people who he thinks are serious have been wrong about everything, I think it’s time we listen to the unserious people, because it would be really nice to do something right for a change.
What next? That may be okay for the regular, er, Joe, but for people who want to control or influence government policy or influence the public or policy-makers, it’s unacceptable.
Joe: I can’t believe you are that careless : “But what about retired General Jack Keane - whom Krugman doesn’t mention - and the significant number of military intellectuals who have favored a labor-intensive counterinsurgency strategy in Baghdad for the past three years?” Well, that’s exactly the problem: it should have been done years ago, and that’s the whole point that you’re missing.
Joe, is Wes Clark a dilettante? He’s the president.
Joe, you’re overlooking the essential point: the war and occupation against Iraq is as immoral as Germany’s occupation of Poland.
Joe, you have perfected the projectionism of the neocons. I have always been disappointed that you were the Time Liberal ” you have never seemed particularly Liberal, and you have seemed far more ready to insult those who disagree with you on the left than those on the right.
Since you now have a blog, I suppose we will be allowed to hold you to a higher standard. The insults, the juvenile name-calling - in this post fall far short of even minimal standards of civilized discourse.
What’s the over/under on how long comments are active on this blog .
I couldn’t do that.” attorneys scandal, and Ezra Klein is excellent on health care.
