FLASHBACK: Jonah Goldberg, Feb 2005: "I predict, that in two years' time:"
I predict that Iraq won't have a civil war, that it will have a viable constitution, and that a majority of Iraqis and Americans will, in two years time, agree that the war was worth it. I'll bet $1,000 (which I can hardly spare right now).

4. Does that mean that we all get $1,000?
Pay up, Jonah. Better yet, since you thought the war was such a great idea, why don't you sign up to help over there?

7. Payable to whom?
If you need the money, Jonah, just keep it. It was a stupid thing to say.

8. Jonah Goldberg's response Feb. 2007:
Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 02:59 PM by madinmaryland
I NEVER, NEVER predicted that Iraq wouldn't have a civil war, and that it would have a viable constitution, and that a majority of Iraqis and Americans will, in two years time, agree that the war was worth it. I'll bet $1,000 (which I can hardly spare right now).

If he says it enough, then the right wing sheeple will beleive it.


:grr:

9. These media whores have no face - no shame
I'll bet $1000 that Jonah Goldberg continues spouting off in public about what an expert he is on Iraq as though he never made that statement two years ago, joining other windbags such as O'Reilly who owe the country an apology but who continue to act like we should be kissing their ass instead.
