Conservatives Fuming Over Bush’s Foreign Affairs

Posted on Jul 18, 2006

Ultra right-wingers at places like the American Enterprise Institute say they are furious at Bush over his apparent timidity on crises in Lebanon, North Korea and Iran.
Hey, if things aren’t going the AEI’s way, it’s gotta be good news.

Washington Post:

At a moment when his conservative coalition is already under strain over domestic policy, President Bush is facing a new and swiftly building backlash on the right over his handling of foreign affairs.

Conservative intellectuals and commentators who once lauded Bush for what they saw as a willingness to aggressively confront threats and advance U.S. interests said in interviews that they perceive timidity and confusion about long-standing problems including Iran and North Korea, as well as urgent new ones such as the latest crisis between Israel and Hezbollah.

“It is Topic A of every single conversation,” said Danielle Pletka, vice president for foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank that has had strong influence in staffing the administration and shaping its ideas. “I don’t have a friend in the administration, on Capitol Hill or any part of the conservative foreign policy establishment who is not beside themselves with fury at the administration.”

The term “Conservative intellectuals” is an oxymoron.

intellectual: involving intelligence rather than emotions or instinct

Conservatives react on a level of “primal instinct” exclusively.

When Newt sounds rational, we KNOW the end is near. RUN FOR THE HILLS!

It’s their own goddamn fault. It was obvious to any thinking person that Bush has always been a total failure. The neocons are just very slow in catching on.
