MM, I'm not about to sit here and write a detailed response point by point about why her article is wrong. I would just urge you to consider the authors credentials in writing such an article. Her premises are unsupported by facts. I don't have to refute her facts, but as a responsible author she is obligated to support her contentions, don't you think? And she doesn't.
I understand the reason you like the article -- because it condemns BO, whom I understand you do not like or approve.
And BTW, I notice that YOU did not give your opinion about her article. Since you posted it, I assume you agree with it, so how about YOU giving us a detailed view on WHY you think she is right.
And AU -- I'm well aware that RL did not write the article. But a quick google search indicates that RL apparently embraced the article and read from it, presumably on his radio show. Now, you know how I feel about RL. But, I would have put that aside if the article was well written and supported by some sort of facts.
And for those of you who attack me personally. I worked in Washington from 1988 - 2006. My area of expertise was international and I held various jobs that required me to understand various regions of the world. I comment on things in Washington because I lived in that environment and I think I understand it pretty well. And when you understand something, it frequently helps to be able to put into context what is going on.
A lot of things I did involved the interagencies, and the Hill and WH. My views are based on my observations and experiences.
There are hundreds of other people who have the same experience. Some of them even post here.
I try to get my information from a variety of sources, both what you would consider liberal and what some would consider conservative. I try not to limit myself to one side of the argument, because both sides have good people and good ideas; and they both have ignorant people and stupid ideas. I don't embrace any particular party line.
But, if you find that offensive, well, I guess you can just put me on ignore.
