My Thoughts on the Brennan Speech on CT

Can be found here: It’s not the Global War on Terror just a global war on terror:

In terms of the scope of the U.S. response… it is, if anything, even broader than that of the Bush Administration.  We must go everywhere and anywhere fixing anything and everything in the hopes of eliminating grievances that might cause terrorism.  There is no sense of limits or restraint in this counter-terrorism strategy.  The Obama Administration’s embrace of exceptionally expansive worldview remains a curious feature of comtemporary American foreign policy.

I’ve discussed this here as well: The Victory of the Neoconservatives:

Obama’s apparent diagnosis of Bush’s foreign policy is not that it was wrongheaded — imperialistic and unachievable — but rather that it was implemented incompetently. Now with better public diplomacy and a retooled military, the policy of remaking the world in our own image — at the point of a gun if necessary — can proceed apace.
