George Again
Sigh. George F. Will is at it again.
His bromides against Obama, that, that, black man in the White House,
(emphasis on WHITE), have become frissons of rage and frustration.
I'm surprised that George and his ilk even recognize Obama as a human
being, let alone a political leader. But, as has always been true,
George forgets or distorts recent history,
From his June 23, 2013 article, "Obama
Hits a Wall in Berlin."
"Napoleon said: "If you
start to take Vienna - take Vienna." Douglas MacArthur
said that all military disasters can be explained by two words: "Too
late."¹
Well, George, with your true and
tested military acumen...ah, you DID support the Iraq war, did you
not...and with the above strictures in mind, how do you rate the
political and military leadership of our Doofus-in-Chief, George W.,
in reference to the aforementioned Iraq war? How does "take
Vienna" or "too late" fit in when discussing the
horrible mistakes of that war? What was the result of that conflict?
Billions spent, thousands of American soldiers dead, a fractured
country, immense debt, and for what?
Our Prussian Feldherr
from upstate Illinois prefers not to answer this question.
That finished, G.F. commented on
Obama's speech in Berlin:
""As I've [President Barack
Obama, ed.] said, Angela and I don't exactly look like previous
German and American leaders." He has indeed said that too,
before, at least about himself. It was mildly amusing in Berlin in
2008, but hardly a Noel Coward-like witticism worth recycling."
Even a Obama's mild jokes are
redundant, low-quality, and silly. Compared to Noel Coward I suppose
that Obama and his speechwriters aren't that witty or amusing, but
then...has George looked at questions and remarks of Generalissimo
Flubya - they weren't exactly Noel Coward-like, in fact, they
sometimes didn't even make sense.
What a Beltway world George lives in!

Did General Douglas MacArthur, darling of the Right, say this before,
during, or after the November/December 1951 disaster in North Korea?
