Darn It!
Bear with me on this one.
Iraq (supporter of the invasion though I am) fatally undermined confidence in the quality of American intelligence.
To the point we’re at now, whereby it will take nothing less than an overt nuclear threat or detonation for any concrete action to be taken against Iran.
And something like this only worsens that impression. As topdog at the State Department, how could this mistake be made? Was it carelessness or lack of knowledge?
Either way, I imagine that Russia is having a good laugh at freedom’s expense.
(PS – Can’t say I entirely disagree with her statement that American democracy is older than the European variety, though. From its inception, and never more so than during the entire 19th century, the US has always had a far fuller democracy than any European counterpart, the UK included.)
