Even Thomas Friedman has it Figured Out Now

Saddam Hussein is a liar. The United Nations is a bunch of weenies. It's official now. Thomas Friedman (registration required) has arrived at that conclusion.
Yes, the great Thomas Friedman has ferreted out this information and now understands why George Bush insisted upon language inserted into the United Nations resolution 1441 that requires Iraq to produce any Iraqi and his family for inteviews outside the country so that information can be given without threat of retaliation from Saddam.
Friedman admits that he really didn't understand this paragraph at first. But he does now and credit Bush with some small measure of wisdom for insisting upon it.
It must be nice to gain the blessings of someone so wise and brilliant as Thomas Friedman.
