Obama-me
Seen in the Twitter feed, Noonan writes that White House staffers have a new name for their boss, Obama-me.
And that is in an article she wrote that is behind a paywall, so nolinkforyou!
I feel bad because I used simple search and BAM there it was, but I don't know nuthn' 'bout this here internet etiquette, and besides I didn't read it because I could not get past the first sentence, the framework, the premise put me right off. Here is how she starts with the words of a diplomat: "There are two templates of American foreign-policy thinking. Munich and Vietnam"
If America does not move they say, "Another Munich -- appeasement". And when America moves militarily they say, "This is Vietnam -- jumping in where we do not belong."
Stop.
Goodbye.
The article is titled A New Kind of Credibility if you care to find it, but right there, the only credibility that I see is none. That is the new kind. The article would have to describe none. And framed so poorly, what, only two strawmen? This scarecrow says two things outside that narrow framework. 1) not in our national interest 2) you are insufficiently trusted to wage war, I can add a third for fun, 3) you are insufficiently trusted to report it.
