Huffington Post....McDermott...Bush Fails to Connect the DOTS

[rsmith6621]

If you hadn't lived in America over the last year, you might be taken in by the President's rhetoric. Instead of a speech, the President wanted a vote of confidence. He didn't get it.This was the sixth time the President laid out his vision for the nation. It was the clearest indication yet that he does not see what his policies have done in America and in other parts of the world.

he President's rhetoric on Iraq is worn out and without foundation. The President's plan for Iraq has a cover page but no content. It's not working, but he persists in demanding support for his no-plan alternative, and stands by while those who ask questions are attacked in response.With U.S. forces stretched to the brink, the President unveils a new threat to Iran. Bravado, not diplomacy, appears to be the President's new strategy for winning over the Iranian people and changing the direction of the Iranian government. It's not a winning strategy, but it is.
