Do the Estonians not know that this is the “kiss of death?” Putin may have had no designs on Estonia until now. Now Estonia is doomed. “Detroit is our future.” “The siege is over.” “The Middle East is now at peace.” In six months President Urkel will be saying, “Did I do that?”
“Today, I can announce that our review is complete, and that the United States will pursue a new strategy to end the war in Iraq through a transition to full Iraqi responsibility.

[W]e will work to promote an Iraqi government that is just, representative, and accountable, and that provides neither support nor safe haven to terrorists.” - Obama in 2011
