- The politics of can't-possibly-do (Daniel Henninger, WSJ) Shame.
- Hillaryland at War (Gail Sheehy, Vanity Fair) It still boggles the mind why no Democrat wants to run for Bill Clinton's third term.
- Why We Went to War in Iraq (Douglas Feith, WSJ)
- He's No Decider, He's a Ditherer (Daniel Benjamin, WaPo) On the flip side, Reagan presided over a similar model that was similarly riven with internal dissension and with opponents carping over allegedly broken interagency processes, and with Reagan and key principals often making key foreign policy decisions outside that loop -- and twenty years later, we now have some confidence that it worked pretty well. We probably won't know for at least a decade, maybe two, how functional -- or dysfunctional -- the Bush approach really was.
- Can Barack Buy the Presidency? (Karl Rove, WSJ)
- Turkey’s secularist coup must crumble (FT)
- Turmoil in Malaysia (WSJ)
- On Campus, the ’60s Begin to Fade as Liberal Professors Retire (Patricia Cohen, NY Times)
- Bad rap on the schools (Jay Mathews, Wilson Quarterly)
- "I'll take that one" (Ken Blackwell, RCP)
- While John Kerry was groveling to Ortega... (Brothers Judd) Contrast this with all the anti-Reagan Dem advisors who were so supportive of Ortega and the Sandinistas during that time period (some of whom are now part of Team Obama). The McCain camp can't be too upset about this story.
- Which makes being tiger-caged seem like an over-qualification (Brothers Judd) The McCain camp must be hoping against hope that the Obama people keep emphasizing foreign policy.
- China and cheap imports: Champions of equality (Christian Broda, Vox)
- Who put the ram in Obama-rama-ding-dong? (The County Seat)
- Cornyn and Noriega slip on oil issues (Lisa Falkenberg, Houston Chronicle) The metro/state diarist should really stick to topics she knows something about -- teen issues for example -- and leave energy security alone. More to follow at some point on bH.
