"How lightly, Mr. Friedman, you thread on the hundreds of thousands of Yemeni corpses who received death as a direct result of your interviewee's policies..." Romain

"The Saudis are pursuing this incredibly vicious war on women and children in Yemen because the Houthis have the stink of Shi'ism on them. They are making trouble with Qatar because Qatar doesn't hate Iran enough. How is this any kind of spring? How is this reform? This is a purge, plain and simple, by people who are perhaps the most out-of-touch royal family in the world. To call it an Arab Spring is an abomination." charlie.coop

"I think this is a beautiful piece. For an infomercial." GM

Does it look like anyone has been taken in by Friedman's pathetic apologia for the clown prince?

Not really. And some readers have even figured out that Friedman's real objective is not to gussy up Salman's thuggish image, but to lay the groundwork for a war with Iran. That's the real goal, more war.
