From the made-up facts to the disingenuous invocation of high-minded principle, this one has it all.

Dear Reader (including our new partners in peace in Tehran),

ANATOMY OF AN OBAMA FAILURE

. . . . .

No, don’t dwell on any of that stuff, because we’re going to get a piece of paper that will probably put Iran on a path to getting a bomb rather than prevent it. But even if the terms are exactly as the White House will spin them, the agreement will still depend entirely on the good faith and trustworthiness of Iran’s rulers, who’ve been violating every international law you can think of and who chant, every week, “death to America.” I mean, what could go wrong?
That was, indeed, a brilliant piece . . . unless you support Obama uber alles. If so, you will probably squirm through every paragraph, or every sentence, or almost every word . . . if you can stand to get even a tenth of the way through it . . . more likely, after the first four or five sentences, you'd shut it down and call it batchit. After all, why would we not accept Bergdhal's apparent victimized state of mind, rather than jumping to nasty conclusions, or why constantly belittle Obama's noble efforts, or why not "depend entirely on the good faith and trustworthiness of Iran’s rulers" . . . progressive taqiyya bullchit.
