The Think Tank With a Sense of Humor

| @jpodhoretz 02.20.2008 - 5:19 PM

Say goodbye EPPC, or AEI, or CEIP, or CFR. Say hello to the think tank with the best name in the busines — the Acronym Institute for Disarmament Diplomacy. I am not recommending its scholarship. I am only commending its surpassingly witty name.

    Democrats cant even remove their own corrupt officials, but we are to believe that they can order another country to remove theirs.

    Didn’t Obama try something like this when as a candidate he pushed for Musharraf to resign? Pakistan sure seems to be doing much better these days…

    It appears that the long-run solution in Afghanistan is the same as it was in Iraq – part military, but also part political. I am pleased Dick Holbrooke is resuming his esteemed public service.

    “…resolving the Bosnian crisis…” Yeah. None a’dem furrin troops in Bosnia no more, no more, and only peace and tranquillity. (Just like Kosovo.) And let us not forget that this esteemed dick will bear into eternity the responsibility for kicking Chrissie Hill waaay past his level of competence, with consequences in NEAsia that Dr. Botvinnik pretends usually to recognize.

    There is certainly good precedent for this approach. Remember that Jimmy Carter pushed out the flawed Shah in Iran, and Iran has been our good and grateful ally ever since. We need to return to that kind of diplomacy. Assuming we want to die…

    Holbrooke? Wow, just wow.

    I am not going to buy any stock in Iraq or Afghanistan.
