"Liz Cheney is like an ideological cluster bomb that keeps exploding.. killing people, years after it has been dropped and fallen out of sight.."

Rami Khouri, at Agence Global, here
"....What was striking about her (Liz Cheney) remarks was her capacity to continue out of office the same intensity and breadth of incompetence and failure that defined her years as principal deputy assistant secretary of state until early 2006.....Elizabeth Cheney is like an ideological cluster bomb that keeps exploding, and killing and injuring people, years after it has been dropped and fallen out of sight......
..........someone among her circle of friends should take her aside and quietly tell her that while she gets the accolades of the AIPAC audience, virtually the entire rest of the world reacts to this sort of performance with a combination of personal embarrassment for her, and deep political disdain for her capacity to insult us with this sort of blind buffoonery.....
It is precisely when the United States has been “bold, decisive and focused” that it has generated enormous resistance to its policies throughout the region, put its allies in more vulnerable situations, strengthened the forces of Islamist militancy, stoked the furnace of terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and even given democracy a bad name.....
She is among the last of a dying breed, these few performers on a horror show stage that has been largely deserted by its public audience, and thankfully is soon to be shut down forever."
