"Cold-Blooded, Cynical" Treason

John Bolton didn't use that last term, but I got no problem with it.

Couldn't find embeddable video of this because RCP is too chincy to include the code, so you'll have to make due with his contribution to the entire Fox panel discussion on Bob Woodward's astonishing demolition of this president.

He'd rather lose the War Against Islamic Fundamentalism than lose what amounts to his own re-election bid.  Wait, let's be even more candid: He would rather thousands more Americans be murdered by our enemies than suffer any political setback from doing his Constitutional duty of protecting them and the rest of us.  But then, why wouldn't he, since he doesn't really believe we're in a "war" at all?

Exit quote from Ensign Ed:

The military men don’t trust the political aides, which isn’t exactly a new phenomenon in American warfare, although one has to derive a little humor from national security adviser James Jones’ nickname for them: “Politburo.”  (I bet that went over well in the West Wing when it came out.)  Petraeus may be the loyal company man publicly but privately told his aides that the administration was “fucking with the wrong guy” during this period.
