Neil MacFarquhar

• November 22 -- U.S. Still "Going It Alone In Iraq"
Reporter Neil MacFarquhar delivers an anti-war cliché: "Washington's past determination to go it alone in Iraq…" But as the Times noted the day before: "36 countries have committed troops to support the operation in Iraq at some point."

Neil MacFarquhar advances the Syrian state's official line on the destruction of the city of Quneitra in the Golan Heights: "Syria says the Israelis dynamited the town as they went; Israel's rather unconvincing explanation, given the neatly collapsed symmetry of house after house, is that warfare destroyed the place."

• October 14 -- Minding Syria's Business
Neil MacFarquhar's latest Damascus dispatch again lays out the terror-sponsoring state's case against Israel, while refusing to identify Hamas and Islamic Jihad as terror groups, simply saying they've been "labeled" so by Israel and the U.S.
