FAIR has kept count of the number of times Thomas Friedman has told us to wait six months to see whether or not things are going to work out in Iraq, from November 2003 to May 2006 (a total period of 29 months). The count: 14 times.

2003: 1
2004: 3
2005: 5
2006: 5

Why this guy is considered insightful is a good question.
