Yesterday, I wrote the following diary:
We Have Met The Enemy, And He Is Republican Administrations!
It was a brief explication of the Reagan and Bush Administrations' ever shifting allegiances, between Shia and Sunni militants and militaries, the enemies of our enemies continually proving to be our enemies, no matter how much we sometimes supported them, both politically and militarily. These Republican Administrations have been just plain stupid as they supported various armed factions which, inevitably, turned those arms on our men and women in uniform. The ultimate example is, of course, New Yorker columnist Seymour Hersh's discovery that Bush is now "pumping money, a great deal of money, without congressional authority, without any congressional oversight" to "three Sunni jihadist groups" who are "connected to al Qaeda."
