After a couple weeks of bombing in '91 (before the ground "war"), Hitch
engaged Morton Kondracke on C-SPAN. Now, this was the old Hitch, the one who
wrote some of the best pieces after Saddam's invasion. When host Brian Lamb
asked him how long the war would last, Hitch replied, "Something like a
hundred years, and it's not begun to sink in yet."

Looked at some of that tape recently, and what startled me was not Hitch's
fine performance, but that he now sounds exactly like Kondracke, who was in
favor of Bush's war. Oh, for a time machine.
