The Truth is Hard to Find
The Prophet is essentially a graduate student learning on the job. Fine. He is not the first one.
My take on his foreign policy to include defense, is that he is
1: trying counter-propaganda out. It may work here and there and/or at least change the game a bit; and
2: has no defense backup plan. His advisors probably do not see anything apart from all-out war as being remotely feasible, and that is questionable given the current politics and economic situation we find ourselves and the social spending we are talking about.
Navy1960 is correct and any serious individual who is personally knowledgeable in foreign policy and its history (vs. repeating political talking points from one corner or another), knows this.
Did you hear Cheney blame 9-11 on Richard Clark?
The same Dick Clark that sent him a memo 3 days after Bush was sworn in saying, "bin ladin determined to attack...."?
Unless he meant the Dick Clark from New Years Eve & Band Stand?
You are a sucker. Yes, he's learning on the job. Bush didn't have to learn. Cheney and Rumsfeld worked for Dick Nixon. They knew what they were doing from day one.
And anyone who disagrees doesn't understand the real world, or is only saying the shit they say because they actually do know how politics are played and they are jedi mind fucking us all. The GOP are very clever. Just keep saying Weak on Defense and eventually find a situation that proves your point.
And get hit on 9-11 and flip it so you say, "hey, we haven't been attacked again".
Well Clinton got hit in 92 and never again since. So he did a good job? Sucker.
