You just *know* Il Dunce would be all over this crap in Israel and Lebanon .... if only he knew what to do with it.
Afghanistan was easy. Osama and Omar. Al Quaeda. Taliban. No good guys. Easy.
Iraq was easy, too. Saddam. Daddy. 9/11 as an additive. Gassed his own people. No good guys. Easy.
Lebanon. A democracy. Harboring bad guys, but, like a chastened drunk after a car accident, trying to appear straight. Has shown itself, on occasion, willing to engage. The citizens appear like us in many ways. No outward Iranian/Taliban appearances.
Israel. Fighting but trying to be civilized. Long bedeviled by its neighbors, but no angel, either. Ever vigilant and ever belicose. Don't fuck with us types in charge. Beat down the Palestinians, but then trying to give them at least a little something. It looks good. Sorta.
You see, George does black and white real good.
When there's nuance he's fucked. Not a clue.
To be sure, our foreign policy isn't set by George all on his own. But he's got some say. Sorta. And when there's nuance, if it isn't him taking time to absorb it all, its his handlers teaching him enough to sound like at least an sentient person. But he's no brain surgeon. And he's sure no diplomat.
So the world has to wait. While the guy who has a guy who carries a 'football' everywhere he goes - his symbol of power - gets educated. By his handlers. Sorta like Siegfried and Roy getting the White Tigers ready to perform. First they have to be trained.
President Montecore.
He's been well trained, they tell us. It wasn't his fault, they tell us.
