What will they do next? Bellow at the moon? The neoconservative annointed – once so arrogant a princeling like David Frum could call for political liquidation of recalcitrant paleoconservatives – have become cankered and rotted to the degree they are unable to acknowledge their own irrelevance. And gotta love that line about ‘diplomatic jiu-jitsu’ on the mullahs. Ooo! Senor Gerecht es muy macho! Of course, he means spin-job head-busting for the American peasanty. Yeah… he’s going to fool us all over again. ‘We tried to talk to Tehran… tried to get ‘em to the table. Now – dang it – gotta let those big eagles FLY!’ We’re not listening - but that doesn’t mean we should stop paying attention. Wow. What will they do next? Bellow at the moon?

Sounds like a very frustrated individual who wants to be taken seriously. The NeoCons provided him with his opportunity, that's all.
