...on how long Assad will last in Syria. Like Qadafi, he's a tough son-of-a-bitch with a lot of power behind him, but it seems like the more people his guys kill, the more people he ends up pissing off, so I don't think this assessment is wrong.
It's certainly not wrong when it comes to it's harsh assessment of the Administration's Middle East policy. It's rage inducing, buttock-clenching incompetence is getting quite tiresome- it was tiresome in Egypt when the Administration hemmed and hawed about what to do for weeks before finally deciding to give Mubarak the old heave-ho. It was tiresome in Libya when we hopped onboard the British and the French push for armed intervention only to participate enthusiastically for five minutes or so before retreating, hat in hand to a supporting role. And it's tiresome in Syria, the Administration seems unable to take a position at all.
Basically- and pardon me if this is somewhat crude, but it's time for the Administration to shit or get off the pot. This wishy-washy bullshit is making me crazy.
