As a former intelligence officer, I'm awestruck by the genius with which Putin assessed the strategic environment on the eve of his carefully scripted invasion of Georgia.

Why doesn't this surprise me (that being a former Intel officer finding himself awestruck).

I like Peters, regarding much, but he is spouting alot of hyperbole nonsense in this one.......(just as he was 2 years back saying Iraq was lost)....

Peters can really sound like an hysterical woman at times. And he’s a pathological Bush basher. I wonder what he said in the late 1970s when the Sovs invaded Afghanistan. Did he predict the death of the West then too?

Absolutely. Peters needed to spend his portion of the AEI session explaining what a complete moron he was about Iraq.
