Pipes looks like the devil incarnate, if the archetype found in scores of cartoons is a guide. This is not a defense of Pletka who has no qualm spreading lies and disinformation.

In particular I would never believe that was Danielle Pletka's doing. They are just being shifted to another room and out of public sight. They aren't gone.

They aren’t gone.

Does not compute in this corner, either. There's got to be something else going on over there. Will Obama prove a liberal interventionist? I see him walking a very fine line through the first term. He's a canny guy, already looking to his re-election. The selection of Hillary was more about (if I may be indelicate) having her inside the tent pissing out, as opposed to the reverse. The question is: can he control not simply the agenda, but his own appointees? I have my doubts. It will be interesting to watch. The Left is going to be increasingly unhappy with this administration, but it has nowhere to go - unless, of course, it wants to render itself completely irrelevant.
