How can he ignore expert Foreign Policy prognosticators such as these?
Indeed. How can it be that many in our country consider someone who finished at the bottom of his class at Annapolis (894 of 899), was a lousy pilot and became known only for being shot down over Hanoi be considered an expert in military affairs? He and his kindred spirits (e..g., Graham) seem to believe that that there is no conflict in the world that cannot be improved by American intervention. One would like to think that he and his ilk would be smart enough to have learned a lesson or two in the past decade.
