I’ve just published a foreign policy-related post at Outside the Beltway:
Crazy Pants, the Embassy Closings, and Star Wars Reboots
Passing on a McClatchy article I found amusing. IMO the embassy closings are due to some combination of prudence, over-reaction, and political calculation. We just don’t know enough to conjecture about the proportions.
An IBD editorial seems to share more than a baffled reaction, with McClatchy. In this piece it implies a raw skepticism as to what is really behind Obama’s unprecedented embassy closings.
