"JPod Punditry"

Greg lets it rip:

It's all so neo-con play-book 101, isn't it? Problem is, it's kindergarten fare, and totally removed from complex reality. It's airily aspirational Trotsky meets Partisan Review meets Scoop Jackson meets I don't like Arabs much meets faux national greatness let's (unconvincingly) play pretend I've got the biggest cojones on the block. It's utopic, hugely under-informed travesty masquerading as convincing policy. Time to (more decisively) throw out the old playbook, I guess, and get real. Sooner rather than later. More failed states could be around the corner, after all ... the clock's ticking.

Let's hope JPod retains his sense of humor.
