neocons are insane

Neocons at the National Review and elsewhere (like Newt Gingrich, who might try to return to politics, something I look forward to like a recurrence of gallstones) are griping at de facto President Bush for not attacking Iran and North Korea simultaneously, while also conquering Syria and Lebanon and overthrowing the non-democratic regimes in Russia and Egypt. Even if the US military had all the capacities implied by Robert Kagan in his fetishized overhyping of our armed forces in his books and magazine articles, we probably couldn't do even ONE of these things right now militarily. Let alone the huge diplomatic and public relations disaster that such half-cocked adventures could provoke. Thank whatever gods you believe in that (so far) the de facto Administration has ignored these ideas (partly because they are ass-deep in Iraq, another of their brilliant plans).

Repeat after me: the neocons are insane. The neocons are insane.
