As Roderick Reilly hints – the same impetus that explains the collapse of the Soviet Union as a natural event, independent of American influence (Reagan, Pershings, Star Wars, yee-hah!), is the impetus that insisted that Mookie was the reason for the sudden surge of peace in Iraq. And then it was the tribes, they defeated Al Qaeda in Anbar, the surge was incidental.

So, if events like the fall of the USSR and the defeat of Al Qaeda and the insurgency in Iraq were not caused by anything America did, why is “Climate Change” America’s fault? Surely, if the Great Satan controls the climate, he must be pretty strong.

Btw, if withdrawing our troops from Iraq would make the Iraqi’s pick up the slack, why don’t Obama and the Dems go for the same trick in Afghanistan?

Four years ago, I thought there could be no emptier suit than John Kerry, and now along comes Obama to prove me wrong!
