I just heard Jim Woolsey, former Director of the C.I.A. snarkily say in an interview on CNN, amidst the elation of Mubarak’s resignation, that the Neo-Cons were the only ones who believed in the democratization of the Middle East. He specifically named George Bush, Dick Cheney and Wolfowitz. Woosley made the bold claim that “There are a lot of Neo-Cons in Egypt now.”
What an asshole.
First of all, this is on the heels of Darth Dick Vader Cheney coming out of his crypt to say he regards Mubarak as a friend and and an ally. In addition is the elephant of methodology best suited to a transformation from dictatorship to democracy. The N.C.’s were pretty adamant about the change coming from the great swinging of the American dick, while Egypt was pretty adamant about a peaceful demonstration.
Is the obvious really such a slippery eel, and could Jim Woolsey be more of a jackass? These are my questions.
