Just listened to Obama's Chief of Staff Denis McDonough talk on Face the Nation and I gotta say, these people seem clueless - they don't understand how the military works, how military interventions work, how wars work, how extremists think, how dictators backed into a corner think - they're clueless - it's as if the only thing they know how to do well is manipulate the media in order to get elected - and once again McDonough said the evidence is solid implicating Assad and yet doesn't say what that evidence is, instead suggesting people go watch the videos - the videos are proof of nothing! This is so astounding that I again am led back to thinking it's merely a shockingly misguided but I suppose in a sense somewhat cunning political ploy because I have a very hard time believing these people are that stupid. I was watching this McDonough interview with my mouth wide open - I couldn't believe the idiocy I was hearing being spouted as if it were brilliant insight and sound logic and established fact.
