Track the careers of any of the foreign policy senior staff surrounding Biden (and Obama before him) -- some of whom go back to George HW Bush, most go back to the Bill Clinton administration -- and re-read the Wolfowitz Doctrine from 1992; they're nothing if not consistent. Christopher Hitchens had been calling this out going back to Clinton, Blumenthal, and Talbott's (British) university days. Guess we have been fooled again, shame on us.
Yes, I talk about that with Victoria Nuland in Escape from Azkeban. Taibbi writes about "Wolfowitz and the rest of the Risk-playing adolescents in the neo-con treehouse," which I though was brilliant.
I had to look up that reference but laughed so hard when I did! You're going to love the fly my daughter photoshopped onto Nuland's head from this description of Dolores Umbridge, Secretary to the Minister of Magic:
"When they entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and saw Prof Umbridge in a fluffy pink sweater with a black bow on her head, Harry was reminded of a large fly perched unwisely on top of an even larger toad."
I try not to be mean but when someone's plotting nuclear armageddon to one-up her husband, we can make an exception, right?

Thanks for the link! I thought Nuland was Chalabi in drag for the longest time...
