Peacekeeping

Peter Beinart has an excellent piece in this week's New Republic on how the Bush adminsitration continues to refuse to deal with the realities of the nation-building operation now underway in Iraq. Since I generally have little regard for Bush's foreign policy, or for Rumsfeld's use no troops approach to military operations, I am not particularly shocked by the fact that Bush does not want our troops ready to do their jobs. The question is: when will the rest of the country realize Bush is far from the bastion of solidity on national security that everyone thinks he is?
It is about time people woke up to the fact that Bush seems to sacrifice national security on the altar of tax cuts, and that his foreign policy is neither consistent or intelligent.
