With all the goofy stuff going on, I haven't had much time for foreign affairs lately. So just a passing nod to more manifestations of the decider's ineptitude.
Having the Ethiopians invade Somalia - the guy can always make a bad situation worse.
Presumably he's looking for a cheap win in the war on terror. He's going to radicalize the Islamic Courts and create another "haven" for you know who. I's sure the Somlians appreciate the hell out of our putting the warlords back on top.
Letting the Israelis leak plans for a nuclear strike on Iran. Duhhh, do you think the Iranians weren't already factoring in that (remote, I hope) possibility? Now we've given them justification for their push for nuclear weapons, and given the Iranians something to talk to the Russians French and Chinese about regarding their cooperation in torpedoing UN sanctions
The Surge. Too stupid to even talk about.
Turning the miltary/diplomantic/intelligence organizations upside down by shuffling bodies around. This is worse than rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. This is final days in the bunker stuff.
Oh and don't get me wrong, there was nothing special about this week. A list like this could be composed every week. Could anybody speak the phrase "America's prestige in the international community" without an awkward pause and an embarrassed blush?
