Do you guys read Counterspin Central?
Check it out if you haven't read it:

http://www.counterspin.blogspot.com/

Excerpt:

For some strange reason, a whole slew of Americans trusted George W. Bush to get this right. This despite ANY evidence that he would. This despite, in fact, CONTRARY evidence as recent as his screwing up the post-Taliban reconstruction of Afghanistan.

To think that these people actually believed George W. Bush knew what he was doing, and would do everything exactly right is mind boggling.

snip

That's just not how you do things. That's not how a mature, intelligent, responsible leader does things. You PLAN for problems and contingencies, and put into place resources and strategies to deal with them...IN ADVANCE!

You don't hope they never occur!

So, when people inevitably bring up Bill Clinton's actions in Kosovo...and accuse me or others of being hypocritical for supporting that war, and not this one...I have my ready-made response. I TRUSTED Bill Clinton to do it right.
