Spengler is a fan of neither David Petraeus, nor our current foreign policy (or lack thereof) in the Middle East. Essay here. Three excerpts here:
The ingenious Gen. Petraeus found a way to allow the Bush administration and the proponents of nation-building to claim victory. Never mind that we left behind a pro-Iranian government and a country constantly threatening to disintegrate.
We Americans love no one better than he who helps us delude ourselves.
The Obama administration’s fixed idea of engaging radical Islamists will have the same result as trying to cuddle with your pet scorpion.
