Pffff, the klown koledge in the white house makes the GWB guys look like, well, an adult administration. Take a look at how GWB handled the run-up to Afganistan and Iraq - 30+ countries signed up on each, especially heavily weighted towards NATO allies and middle-eastern countries. Versus what we saw in Libya and Syria. Remember how startled we were when Turkey wouldn't let us stage and invade into Iraq? Would that surprise ANYONE today? I won't even go into Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the disastrous disposition of forces agreement with Iraq, the "reset button" with Russia, etc. Like someone said seven years ago: Best case is the Carter administration. Looking that way. -XC
