"amateur hour in U.S. foreign policy."
Despite near universal acclaim for a 'strong foreign policy performance' in the first six months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks (snort...yeah, right.), Crusader Bunnypants suddenly finds himself accused of indecisive leadership and of not having a coherent strategy to address a barrage of international crises. Well boo-fucking-hoo. About time.
While keenly aware of the alleged popularity of America's Dingleberry, Democratic leaders have begun to offer cautious criticism. "Let me choose my words carefully," Joe Biden Jr. (D-Pink Tutu) said of the administration's performance during the recent failed attempt to overthrow President Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. "It was . . . somewhat inept." Geez, hope you didn't pee your pants, Joe.
But the questions and criticisms extend beyond the immediate issues of the Middle East and Venezuela. In recent interviews, a number of administration officials and outsiders with close White House ties, foreign policy experts and senior foreign diplomats spoke of deep concern over the administration's performance in a wide range of areas. Even Chimpy the Choker's special amigo Vicente Fox is a bit peeved. According to several close aides, he is "profoundly disillusioned" with what Captain Cowpie promised early last year would be a close relationship. Long-discussed immigration initiatives have languished since Sept. 11, said one informed Mexican source, adding that "the bush administration has been absolutely disastrous in terms of even trying, even making an effort, to keep them on track. . . . Nothing is moving. Everything is paralyzed."
