oh this author is so breezy and cool, bopping off to Amsterdam (we all know why potheads go to Amsterdam and it isn’t for a conference unless you count a conference of substance abuse)
and coming back from a vacation when most people are struggling to pay for the overwhelming debt the administration has buried us with
so sorry he’s unhappy about the world going to hell in a handbasket while he was in a druggy daze

Most people consider the author, Craig Pirrong, to be a NeoCon.
So he is spouting off the NeoCon points just like McCain, or Cheney, or all the NeoCons.
The NeoCon talking points are that we won the war in Iraq, while Bush/NeoCons were in power, then Obama gave the victory away.
The reality is that we got our ass kicked in Iraq. We killed thousands of Americans, wounded tens of thousands, and spent trillions. And accomplished nothing except shift the power from the Sunni to the Shia, and now the Sunni want it back.
We left Iraq on Iraqi terms, not US terms. George Bush signed the Status of Forces Agreement and the NeoCons complain because Obama couldn't convince the Iraqis to sign another Status of Forces that allowed the US to leave troops there.
