Le Carre book review

From Absolute fury at Bushes in latest le Carre thriller, San Francisco Chronicle's book critic David Kipen:

"Without anger we are nothing," (Sasha insists during his youthful flirtation with Marx, and he may well be speaking for his creator. The targets of le Carre's anger here are, not to beat around it, the two presidents Bush. He's angry at how the first Bush squandered our opportunities for a saner world amid communism's collapse; and he's positively livid at, as he sees it, the current administration's capitalizing on the rise of global terrorism. One president fumbled away the West's greatest postwar victory because he lacked a plan. Then his son exploited the West's recent crisis -- and alienated most of his allies, without whom the earlier victory would have been impossible -- by dusting off the only plan he had handy.  article

I don't think either one of these asshats lacked a plan.

I keep seeing criticism of the current administration's policies, particularly in Iraq, labeled "they didn't have a plan". But they do.

The plan was, and will remain, to pilfer every pilferable corner in the world, pocketing the proceeds and the power into BushCo. To rule the world. To claim it all.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
