It looks like Larry Wilkerson finally learned something from the neo-cons: Appeasement doesn't work. Eschewing diplomacy of any kind, the former chief of staff of the State Department fired away during a speech he gave at the New America Foundation yesterday, charging Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld with hijacking American foreign policy and basically ruining everything. Some of his assessments of other administration staff? Douglas Feith: "Seldom in my life have I met a dumber man." Condoleezza Rice: "Extremely weak." President Bush: a practitioner of "cowboyism." And Wilkerson himself? Apparently he's the guy who got outmaneuvered by a bunch of dumb, extremely weak cowboyists. Pretty entertaining speaker though.— GREG BEATO
