You know, aside from the bullshit, aside from the cynicism, aside from the nonsense...well, maybe it's just me, but, isn't it just plain weird to listen to all the bloviating, when you consider that "national security" or "protecting the American people," or whatever you want to call it, is simply part and parcel to the job of "chief executive?" I mean, it's not like it's charity work.
The fact that there are "rules and regulations," not to mention a "Constitution," simply underscores that it's NOT a job for idiots, juveniles, war/fear mongerers, or scoundrels of any type. At least part of the idea, IMHO, is to set the bar high enough to weed out the riffraff, for chrissakes.
So when Team Bush and the Twitnuts chortle, crow, speechify and hold press conferences about an operation they had LITTLE OR NOTHING to do with, and which happened to DIRECTLY REFUTE all the "thinking" and/or "theorizing" that's brought us the Twin Towers of Clusterfuck in Iraq and Afghanistan (and Clusterfuck 7 in Lebanon)...well, I think there's one term that's an apt descrition:
They're trying to benefit from the Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations.
