David Brooks again. He was on The Newshour With Jim Leher, being a pundit (”So David, a giant meteor is about to hit Philadelphia and it will destroy Western Civilization as we know it. What will this mean for the Edwards campaign?”).

Brooks was asked about the upcoming Mid-East peace talks in Annapolis and he said,

“This is about trying to build a coalition against Iran. If they can turn Syria, make it more anti-Iranian. That could be a big win.”

Um, this is how we conduct peace talks now? By turning volatile nations against each other? I naively thought this get together was about peace between Israel and Palestine. That’s what the talks were supposedly focused on. Apparently, we’re preparing for WWIII brinksmanship, and we can thank smirking pundits like DB for helping us along the way.

(Editors Note: We did the research, and I’m apparently the only PBS news watcher under the age of 40.)
