Yes, Sullivan is right. I have been reading the posts today and felt like posting, "Hey, People, set down in a chair, bend over and blow into a paper bag!" The hysteria level is really getting high.
I watched Fouad Ajami on "Charlie Rose" last night, and he is getting pissed. His reaction is that going to the UN allowed the anti-war pressure to build up, which is costing us allies. He is right, of course. But if Bush had not gone to the UN, the screaming would have been even louder.
Ajami came on right after Wolfgang Ischinger, the German Ambassador to the U.S. Ajami said he told him that he did an excellent job of presenting the wrong solution. Ajami said, "They will the ends, but not the means." Ischinger agrees that we need a regime change, but won't vote to do it. The Euros do not want to "Bell the Cat."
Can you imagine the pressure Bush is under right now? Takes a strong man to stand up to it. |
