Michael Ledeen Vs Michael Ledeen

Michael Ledeen - August 6, 2002

However, nobody is perfect, and Scowcroft has managed to get one thing half right, even though he misdescribes it. He fears that if we attack Iraq "I think we could have an explosion in the Middle East. It could turn the whole region into a caldron and destroy the War on Terror."

One can only hope that we turn the region into a cauldron, and faster, please. If ever there were a region that richly deserved being cauldronized, it is the Middle East today. If we wage the war effectively, we will bring down the terror regimes in Iraq, Iran, and Syria, and either bring down the Saudi monarchy or force it to abandon its global assembly line to indoctrinate young terrorists.

I do not feel "remorseful," since I had and have no involvement with our Iraq policy. I opposed the military invasion of Iraq before it took place and I advocated—as I still do—support for political revolution in Iran as the logical and necessary first step in the war against the terror masters.

To be fair, Ledeen may not read the stuff he actually write. My theory is Michael Ledeen version 2006 traveled back in time to stop Michael Ledeen version 2002 from supporting the Iraq war. Too bad Michael Ledeen version 2006 couldn't stop those op-eds.
