How about “Israelis Outmaneuvered Dumbo Without Even Breathing Hard”?

another leftist fool. There may be a kernel of truth in the idea that the Iraq war didn’t turn out the way it was hoped - but to say that it is an example of America’s “destabilizing influence” is sheer poppycock. The whole ideology behind the war was to create more stability in the region. Today the left is creating destabilization because they took up opposition to the war as an ideological mission, rather than a political mission. Now as we are faced with revolution throughout the middle east and a nuclear armed Iran backing most of the revolutionary forces the left is paralyzed to inject any stabilizing measures... They literally support chaos as a result.

“Describing the dystopia that would emerge if America goes under is a trick British historian Niall Ferguson pioneered. Unlike the jingoistic Ferguson, however, Brzezinski is able to envision China replacing America as the stabilizing force in world affairs”

Zbig couldn’t wipe Ferguson’s boots. Further Ferguson sees America as an essential force of good in the world. The author translate that to “jingoistic.” Tells you where he’s coming from.
