I'm especially glad this is getting press beyond our echo chamber, even if it's derisive in some cases.

This one from The Wire is pretty derisive, and it's interesting to see how her predictions have all come true and how each of them has a convenient reason for being a good thing according to the obvious dim-bulb who wrote it.

From the article:

1. That Obama will sit down with the world's worst dictators without conditions, and meet with Iranians.

--Article sez: "we got a good deal out of Iran!"
--Reality: Iran is doing whatever the hell they want as long as they look/sound like they're playing along

2. Invading the sovereign territory of Pakistan.

--Article sez: "yeah, we did--to get Bin Laden!"
--Reality: Pakistan is not an ally in any way and they were supremely pissed about the public nature of the incursion since Obama couldn't wait to get in front of a camera. This rush to claim credit jeopardized our only real supply line in and out of Afghanistan.

3. Opposed the surge in Iraq, and wants to pull troops out which would just mean that troops would have to go back in.

Article sez: "he's reducing our troops' presence to almost nothing--we're out of Iraq now, isn't it great?"
Reality: Iraq is in chaos and its Shi'ite majority (and government) is warming up to big geopolitical ME player Iran.

4. That Putin might invade Ukraine after Georgia, as above.

Article sez: "Well...this isn't really an invasion."
Reality: It sure as hell is if you're Ukrainian*.

*Yes, I know there's more to it than that, but large wars have started over less than this.

Also burned the asset who tipped us off, and has done nothing to extract him.
