Oh, Julian, It's Just Not....

...working out the way you thought it would.

Worldwide condemnation over WikiLeaks release (Video)

US friends, foes savage WikiLeaks
"Friend and foe alike of the United States turned on WikiLeaks on Monday over its release of secret US diplomatic cables, saying the revelations undermined diplomacy and made the world less secure."
Wikileaking
"Let me begin as they do by asserting that there is nothing very surprising to be found in all that haul. Scandals aplenty, and the horrors of war -- of course -- but in the main, the account which the Bush administration gave of what was happening in Iraq, is vindicated."

"That the numbers of non-partisans killed may be higher than official estimates cannot be breaking news, either. It is clear enough from the documents that the overwhelming majority of these were victims of terror strikes, and not "collateral damage."

"But the biggest revelation from the documents is not about misdeeds by the allies. It is instead that the Bush administration actually understated its case against Iranian meddling in the conflict. The WikiLeaks include numerous field intelligence reports from which it is clear that Shia "militants" are trained, armed, and infiltrated by Iran's proxy, Hezbollah, or directly by the Revolutionary Guard. And these are, in the old parlance of international law, direct acts of war by Iran against the United States and Iraq."
So far, so good. I hate to gloat, but I told you so. You see, Julie, the adults know what is at stake. Your America Derangement Syndrome has warped your pretty little mind and you've just shot yourself in the foot.

Okay, I lied. I love to gloat.
