Views on Obama speech…
9/11 Commission member John Lehman sounds off on Obama, per Robert Costa’s post. It’s interesting, but Lehman thinks too highly of Brennan for my tastes. And I detect a certain whiff of fanny-covering from the former Secretary of the Navy with his remarks that the system his commission recommended had become what they warned it would without proper resources. What I, and many, many others warned about was that no government bureaucracy could resist becoming a beastly slug, which the Commission vehemently denied.
And after all, how did George W. Bush manage to make it work when he was a missing village’s idiot, and Obama is so brilliant?
Costa also posts comments from John Bolton, who also faults Obama’s law-enforcement approach.
