Well, I didn't know much about Pawlenty, didn't really have anything for or against him, but reading this article seems to demonstrate he is not presidential material, at least not "GOP-type" presidential material.

It's a good, detailed article by Andy McCarthy, you really need to read the whole thing, excerpts don't do it justice.

Pawlenty gets compared to Lady Linda, to neither’s benefit.

So now National Review is against nation building and throwing money at Islamic countries?

I submitted a comment to this piece, but so far I have not passed muster.

In essence what I said was that McCarthy (of whom I’m very fond as we are both suffering Mets fans and because he’s so good on the truth of international jihad) offered a lot of complaints about what we’re doing and a lot of abstract concepts, but for all his complaints he doesn’t offer any advice regarding what we should actually be doing.

Maybe they didn’t publish my comment because I said my own response would be of the Ann Coulter school. Invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.

That piece got her canned from NRO, so maybe that was it.

And, not to put to fine a point on it, maybe the Coulter plan is over broad, or perhaps lacking, or immoral, but at least it is a PLAN.

McCarthy seems to hate the current plans and Pawlenty’s plans, but he doesn’t seem to have a plan of his own.
