Another screw up by George W. Bush & Handlers

Link

Going abroad to burnish your image only works a) if you're not fighting a war, or b) if you are fighting a war and you're talented enough to carry out, you know, diplomacy, and haven't screwed around publicly with other nations in the past few years. Nixon could carry it off, because he was venal but talented. George W. Bush, miserable failure that he is, h is venal but not talented.

Reading this article in the context of the Post article below, one gets the feeling that foreign governments don't mind at all cooperating to get al Qaeda, especially through the Agency, but they do mind George W. Bush, and his team's idiotic rants at French and Germans.
