Podhoretz Surprise

I was trying to find the quotes to support what Obama said last year about "taking out" al Qaeda "leadership" in Pakistan without Musharraf's approval, and how the Right FREAKED OUT over it, and how it was uncovered the other day that Bush authorized "ground assaults inside Pakistan without the prior approval of the Pakistani government."

Who knew it would be John Podhoretz (?!?!!), in a remarkable piece called "An Apology to Obama?", who found them for me!

He can't quite bring himself to apologize for his own ridicule at the time (note the question mark in the title of the article), and ends it by saying that on this issue, Obama "was, apparently, precognitive, and may be due an apology."

I don't know when he'll decide if Obama's actually "due an apology," but it's still a pretty surreal post.
