Hullabaloo

From Hullabaloo:

"I am of the opinion that alienating our allies, exposing ourselves as having an intelligence community that can't find water if they fall out of a boat and then screwing up Iraq in spectacular fashion, we have destroyed our mystique and have made this country less safe. We were much better off speaking softly and carrying the big stick than flailing around like a wounded, impotent Giant.

I see no reason to believe that these people see that. They believe that to 'cut and run' is the equivalent of emasculating this country and that is what puts us at risk. George W. Bush is not bugging out."
