We cats have not yet posted on Syria. Mainly because we had no urge to join what the Grinch Who Stole Christmas would call "The noise, noise, noise." We decided to wait it out a bit, to see how the politics played. It's changeable, and it's still not over. But so far, we think it's turning out differently than most of the so-called "experts" expected.
In the meantime, we get to be treated to various fun spectacles, such as John Boehner leaving the White House with a statement of support for Barack Obama. (Watch it quick, because that won't happen soon again.)
And we're doing major flashbacks on President Clinton's action in Kosovo — which stopped the slaughter of civilians and which, thanks to follow-up diplomacy, resolved itself peaceably. And which, of course, the Republicans opposed because — well, because President Clinton wanted it. Everything old is new again.
But as one of our faithful correspondents has written us, nothing tops the vision of John McCain and his BFF, Lady Lindsey Graham, visiting the White House and being forced to consult not just with the President but with his National Security Adviser, Susan Rice.
We cats well remember that some months back, McCain criticized Rice, an Oxford grad and Phi Beta Kappa, as "not very bright." This would be the same John McCain who left the Naval Academy 894th out of a class of 899. And who, of course, picked Sarah Palin to be a 71-year-old cancer survivor's heartbeat away from the Presidency.
We cats are enjoying the show, but we still HISS.
