Karen Kwiatkowski writing for LRC on Some Advice for George:
It seems our success with Saddam isn’t very applicable – avoiding the use of WMD is helpful, but freedom of speech, democracy, and fighting terrorism all backfire as techniques to get the saddle back on the bucking Republican Party machine. Oops – the elephant is actually the only animal that can’t jump. Never mind, with the neo-cons claiming ancestry from American leftism and Trotsky, what we are really dealing with is a jumpy beast called donkephantus eledonkia.
As you'll recall me pointing out previously, Kwiatkowski is a retired lieutenant colonel (USAF) with significant Pentagon experience. Clearly, with those credentials she's about as anti-American as they come.
