You are spot on but do not tell it to freeper "the crusader" whom sounds more like he wants to blame GW.

You can toss rocks at The Crusader if it makes you feel good. But you should know the general public will not likely go for a Clinton-lost-North-Korea blame game. It just won't sell after six years of Bush and GOP dominance.

Clinton was a gullible enabler, as was idiot Carter. But Bush has been more focused on the Mideast than on Asia. Or on the budding Leftists in South America under Castro's and Chavez's tutelage.

Personally, I've lost what little confidence I had in the current National Security Council and Secretary Rice. Powell was no better. It's been very disappointing.

The average voter following foreign news and events can't help but notice that there the growing threats to American foreign policy besides the dismal prospects in Iraq: a proliferating North Korea, regimes of the Left rising in Central and South America, the failed Pali initiative which has harmed Israel's security, the grim prospects of doing anything to bring regime change in Iran or deter the mullahs from acquiring nukes in the next few years.

Our ability to conduct foreign policy, normally a Republican strength, will be questioned. I expect to see this kind of criticism not just from the NYT and the usual drive-by media but from WSJ and National Review.
