How about Condi Rice? She goes into the belly of the beast – some of the most dysfunctional regimes on the planet and says, “Repent! The end is near!â€
Well OK, she didn’t exactly say that, but she might as well have. What she DID say was the cold war is over. You know the U.S. policy for this region for the last sixty years? It’s over.
There’s a new sheriff in town and he’s going to clean up this swamp. It was OK when you guys just fought amongst yourselves. But the beast that struck us on 9/11 was bred and raised in this swamp.
The new sheriff is going to drain this swamp so that beast can die and never threaten us again.
Look what the new sheriff has already accomplished. Afghanistan has the closest thing to a real government in 1,000 years. Iraq is a coin still poised in mid-air slowly flipping end-over-end.
The Ukrainians stared down the Russians and now have a fledgling democracy. Libya has decided the WMD business is not a good one with the new sheriff and has sworn off their addiction to it. Syria has departed Lebanon.
Not bad, not bad.
