Talk:Friedman (Iraq War time unit)

Prediction: Friedman (Iraq War time unit) on the eve of the 2003 invasion of Iraq

"Saddam has been given six more months to prepare for an invasion (and six more months of advancement in his weapons programs), and Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups have had six more months to plot retaliatory attacks. And perhaps most notably of all, the endless delay has caused opposition to solidify, and has given the previously moribund anti-war movement time to become a powerful, well-organized force. As a result of all of these factors divisions, both within America and worldwide, have widened considerably in the six months. And even if the war in Iraq starts next week and goes off without a hitch, there remains a very strong possibility that we'll all be the worse in the end for the process - and it could even cost Dubya his presidency."—Stephen Silver, "The 'Rush to War' that SHOULD have been," Blogcritics Magazine, March 13, 2003.
