OK, let me see if I got this right ...
The Iraqi government wants to cut and run on our definition of the War against Terrorism ... AND is building alliances with Iran over common interests as Shiites ... and likewise Syria and Iran are linking up over common interests as Shiites ...
Am I missing something? This is the outcome of Bush’s policy to “stay the course”?
Oh yes, Afghanistan is apparently falling apart ... and China is using our money to make long-term agreements for strategic resources not only in Iran but also in South America ... and Mexico hasn’t done so well partnering with us in NAFTA because we outsource more to China ...
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing in particular against China (in fact I have told my grandkids for over a decade to start learning Chinese) but is all this what the Neocons + Clinton had in mind when they pushed all this globalization and spreading democracy stuff?
Or were they just so hopelessly inept that it all fell apart in their hands?
I mean, do any of the adults in charge have a clue about what’s happening in the other rooms?!
