Bush and Co. do the right thing,
as reported by the NYT just now, disappointing the hysterics.
You know, in some ways, Bush is a better lame duck president than he was a real one.
The world does that to second terms--makes them very realistic.
Ironic thing is, Obama would be closer to a third Bush term (in terms of immediate continuation) than McCain: careful and cautious and truly conservative.
Now hear this:
In an interview, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates described the administration as having come to a unified position that calls for “a long-term strategic approach — not one where we react tactically in a way that has negative strategic consequences.”
Mr. Gates, a career Kremlinologist and former director of central intelligence, said: “We are all agreed that we need to stay very much in close collaboration with the Europeans and others. I think there is a sense that we do have the time to calibrate reactions carefully. And I think there is agreement not to take any precipitous actions. But there is also agreement on the importance of continued support for Georgia’s territorial integrity.”
He cautioned that “if we act too precipitously, we could be the ones who are isolated.”
Again, Gates the Wise.
Busy frickin' news day, huh?
