Correction

HeadlineOct 17, 2007

And finally, a correction: On Tuesday, we reported on comments made by retired General John Abizaid at a recent forum at Stanford University. The headline was based on an article in The Stanford Daily. The newspaper has since published a correction saying it was New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, not General Abizaid, who said the following: “We’ve treated the Arab world as a collection of big gas stations. Our message to them is: Guys, keep your pumps open, prices low, be nice to the Israelis and you can do whatever you want out back.” At the same forum, John Abizaid admitted the war in Iraq was about oil. He said: “Of course it’s about oil, we can’t really deny that.”
