No More Big Stick

Left In The Beltway: "But now America, the same nation that defeated the Axis, defeated the Communist, and is the sole remaining superpower… has lost the big stick. Because our President and the conservative movement that supports him has the temperament of an ill mannered infant, we no longer have the power to threaten and cajole other countries into working with us for mutual benefit. North Korea can now threaten us with pre-emption simply because we’ve shown the world that we don’t have a clue what to do in Iraq. Kim Jong Il has to be just laughing it up.

Thanks, Republicans. Thanks for losing the big stick."
