I’m tired, and I’m angry and I feel the need to link to Time’s cover story this week and point out that I called this 3 years ago.

Goddamn. If a guy with just an international relations undergrad degree who doesn’t have any professional experience in foreign policy or politics can see this, why can’t the administration? This rah-rah foreign policy garbage, what Time is now calling Cowboy Diplomacy and what once had the fancy name “The Bush Doctrine,” was hollow from the beginning. Of course, ignoring decades of foreign policy experience and thousands of years of policy wisdom from Sun Tzu to Kissinger to Colin Powell’s “Pottery Barn Rule” would probably be bad. I mean, seems pretty obvious, right?

Yet people in 2004 bought this garbage, defended it as the right policy, and kept praising the president as a visionary. Well, it’s pretty clear that he completely screwed up every non-military phase of this policy. What does it take for people to take these dumb stickers off of their car? Do they still think he’s actually a good president? Take off the damn stickers, please!

And, yes, I’m aware of the list of logical fallacies in the “why can’t everyone else see this” line of thinking. I’m kidding about the stickers, but I’m frustrated that this President doesn’t get constantly reamed by the press and the pundit class.
