Greenwald:
"You should look up the words "justification" and "motivation" in the dictionary in order to figure out what the difference is."
Yes, it was my own bit of disingenuity, I admit. But you should admit that there is absolutely no boldness, no imagination in this guy. He's mindlessly embraced the idea that he should aspire to be another mythical version of lincoln or fdr, rather than responding intelligently to what he has before him here and now. he's as childish in his own way as bush, acutely concerned with image. Boldness would be to instantly change the game with iran and begin full diplomatic relations - not agreement or capitulation, but diplomacy without the mindless red meat rhetoric. And completely change the game in the mideast. there is no reason other than mindlessness that we have to be on war footing with iran. But he has no boldness. No imagination.
