The only thing I didnt like about the book were the pot shots at Bush he snuck in every once in a while. I am sure others on the board loved it for the same reason.

At least I know that no matter how smart Friedman is or how much experience he has, there is no way he could possibly be right when he criticizes GWB. Bush knows way more about foreign policy than Friedman (or any other human being) ever will.

True indeed.

so does Bush know more about domestic policy than any human alive?

Bush, as president, has to be a generalist, so this would be one of the few cases where a generalist is actually the most knowledgeable person alive in a specialized area (foreign policy). Interesting.

I was responding to his sarcasm with sarcasm. I knew you would smell blood at my comment

Who said I was sarcastic?

That would imply that I think Bush can be wrong, and it would imply that you don't take seriously the thought that Bush may know more than any person alive. You are no true Republican, you are luke warm. And Bush will spew you from his mouth.

You do have a point. I put Bush 2nd to Jesus as the greatest person to ever live. Is that true-Republican enough for you?

It is that kind of blind obedience that I appreciate from fellow Republicans.
