Smirk: American Foreign Policy No Longer Seeks to ‘Manage Calm’

At today’s press conference, NBC’s David Gregory noted that, three years ago, the Bush administration predicted that “the invasion of Iraq would create a new stage of Arab-Israeli peace,” but that hasn’t happened.

In response, President Bush proudly declared that American foreign policy no longer seeks to “manage calm,” and derided policies that let anger and resentment lie “beneath the surface.” Bush said that the violence in the Middle East was evidence of a more effective foreign policy that addresses “root causes.”

You gotta love this guy. He's so consistent. Nothing good comes of anything he has ever done, but there is always something great right around the corner.

Somebody should ask driver Junior, "Are we lost? Shouldn't you ask for directions?"

2. It IS going according to plan. Read the PNAC doctrine. They want all out

war in the ME with the goal of conquering and controlling the entire area. It's an idiotic plan, but it is their plan.
