"Foreign Policy" Article Critique

This is a link to a Foreign Policy site article by Will Inboden, which we don't agree with per se, but it does show some of the foreign policy hypocrisy of Adam Smith and his mentor, President Barack Obama, so it's worth reading even though the Bush/Cheney govt. doesn't deserve even a hint of praise that Inboden seems to give them.  Metaphorically, "a pox on 'em all," meaning the just mentioned politicians.  Mark Greene is on record (Alaska Daily News, Sept., 2002 editions) for opposing the Iraq War Resolution.  Smith voted for the resolution.  Obama implied that he would have voted against it had he been in Congress in '02 -- if you believe that, we have some real estate in Florida to sell you.

Smith and Drescher

Rep. Adam Smith Endorses a Card-Carrying Republican   People who don't ordinarily follow Newcastle, Washington politics aren't going to know this, pretty much, but Representative Adam Smith, Democrat from Washington state, actually endorsed a card-carrying Republican, John Drescher, for Newcastle City Council.  Drescher supported George W. Bush and John McCain, respectively, in two recent presidential elections (2004 & 2008).  Smith is the same rightist Democrat (the kind of Democrats also known as "Blue Dogs") who benefitted from the other curious election of 2004, though unwittingly. Smith's voting record is like a dream to America's far right wing, shown here as follows: Congressman Adam Smith has voted for the following (pretty much not in accordance with his district): the national defense authorization act proviso that ends Habeas Corpus (judicial review for persons who are jailed), even for Ame...
