Stephen J. Hadley: “The Middle East is a safer place when the United States is clear and consistent in its intentions.”

We need to shame him for it. And then, hopefully, the Europeans will show in their response that they are willing to stand up to it.

Maliki is either ignorant of what is going on, misrepresenting his intentions, or that his capabilities are not yet sufficient to turn his good intentions into action.

We need to expose that, and then we need to push back by exporting truth.

Bipartisan foreign policy is going to be much stronger and sustainable.
