I vote this the single best paragraph to describe Bush foreign policy!
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 05:14 AM by Laura PackYourBags

The Bush-Cheney administration has surrendered much of Afghanistan to the Taliban and much of Pakistan to al-Qaida. They have turned most of Iraq over to Iran, creating the very danger over which they now threaten another disastrous war; they have strained the U.S. Armed Forces to the point of exhaustion, turned the Defense Department over to private contractors, the Justice Department over to the Republican National Committee, and the national debt over to foreign creditors, while leading a party whose single most basic belief is supposed to be that individuals must take personal responsibility for their actions. And they dare to lecture us on national security?

5. Sounds like surrender monkeys to me!
And yet, the American people give the pubs the advantage when it comes to security issues. How bad is our publicity machine and how good is theirs?

13. I remember a time when I hated republicans - not for the reasons
I do today - but because they did nothing. Like Poppy, didn't do a damn thing. I wanted to see him do something. Well, now it is the exact opposite. In just 6 years - Junior has changed everything = so much so that we can't even recognize our own country. And, there is no way in hell that it was by happenstance. All these changes for the worse - outsourcing, propaganda, torture, fake wars, manipulating the press, all of it, had to have been meticulously planned. The scariest part. And it's been like a storm. They have taken full advantage of the instant news cycle. They know people will not remember tomorrow their sins of today.

12. I'd say that 'moderate, wonky international relations expert' nailed it
That was a good read. Thanks for pointing me to it.
