This is not the Clinton administration, after all; these guys know how to think strategically, how not to leak, and how to focus their foreign-policy activity on something other than the frenzied daily news cycle. What, then, are they thinking?
Just finished reading Christopher Hitchens' op ed piece in the WSJ today, in which he argues, among a great many other things, that the conservative movement is so confident these days it is able to see divergent opinions publicly articulated. Well, Chris, if that's the case, tell me why every article, well almost, say 99.9%, one reads in conservative journals has to start with a variant of "we ain't Clinton, we're smart, they were dumb." Sounds more than a little defensive to me. |
