Poor Thomas! He’s supporting Obama’s Iran deal, because, because, I guess, because the guys at the water cooler at the Times wouldn’t speak to him if he didn’t. Damn that peer group pressure!
But Tom isn’t a total pussy. No way, John! According to Tom, once we make the deal with Iran, we include this little proviso:
“Congress should pass a resolution authorizing this and future presidents to use force to prevent Iran from ever becoming a nuclear weapons state. Iran must know now that the U.S. president is authorized to destroy — without warning or negotiation — any attempt by Tehran to build a bomb.”
Got that, towelhead? Step one inch over the line, and POW!
Yeah, that’s the real Tom Friedman, the Tom Friedman who, back in 2003, when all the pointy heads were wetting their pants over the fact that there were, um, no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq, gave the “real reason” for invading Iraq, “which was never given”, said “real reason” being “because we could”.
What a moron.
Afterwords
Thanx to Daniel Larison for highlighting this Friedmanesque outbreak of moral idiocy, which I otherwise never would have noticed, since I’d rather listen to Donald Trump that read Thomas Friedman.
