They never hit anything meaningful during Desert Storm. Always wide of the mark. And the much-vaunted Republican Guards of Saddam turned out to be much ado about NOTHING. Yet ANOTHER indicator that the wrong-wing and the neoCONS are Lox On Toast when it comes to giving foreign policy advice. As bad as they already proved themselves to be during the bush/cheney years.

"...allowing events to control him." "So nakedly political..." - Howard Fineman on wrongney's premature ejaculation, on "Hardball" today.

Good Lord! wrongney isn't even ready for DAYTIME, much less prime time.
