"It's kind of hard to be seen as the guy defending torture right now," says Charlie Black, a longtime GOP operative. Another GOP strategist insisted on anonymity in order to be more blunt: "Cheney as the face of our party is nothing short of a disaster—a grumpy old man with a gun."
And there precisely is the problem with the GOP. They are soooo wrong.
The last paragraph of the article is worthless.
Furthermore, it should be remembered that it was RAT diplomacy and strategy which forced us to lose the one war we lost. URGH! I will never forgive Johnson and his henchmen.
From the end of the article - “but he was the naive one, if he really ever believed that we could create a Hanging Garden of Democracy in Babylon...”.
Wrong! THere was a time when the Mid East had lots of CHristians and Jews. Then Mad Mo rode in out of the desert and slaughtered almost all of them.
Thatwas the First Holocaust (Germany being the second).
No mo “Mo’s” and the fatwa against Democracy disappears.
ISLAM DELENDA EST.
Fineman continues to insist on keeping his head up his a$$ and not realize just how stupid he is. Spout your stuff somewhere else Fineman, and see if you continue to be marginalized by the rest of the world!
There, fixed it for you.
If conservatives would stand up to the moderates in the GOP like Cheney is standing up to Obama, we could drive them out of the party.
