Why 'engagement' failed
Hillary Clinton has apparently put her foot in her mouth. Secretary of State Clinton seems to be suggesting that engagement failed, not because it was inherently a bad idea, but rather because of the rise of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Iranian society, a discovery Clinton voiced recently in Doha.Read the whole thing.
The problem is that the IRGC was in control well before Obama took over; its rise is nothing new. Here's my colleague Ali Alfoneh, back in February 2008 detailing just how the Revolutionary Guards had eviscerated Iranian society.
Clinton may know something about foreign policy, but she apparently doesn't have the power to make decisions about it. Obama knows nothing about it.
Anyone want to bet that Hillary leaves the State Department sometime in 2011? I shudder at the thought of who might follow her. Maybe the incompetent Susan Rice.
What could go wrong?
