++Josh Marshall this afternoon pens a column with the title above. Josh remarks about how those Republicans that sounded like they knew something--Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina--actually have fallen into the sinkhole of belligerent unilateralism.
++Josh picks up a theme from Ezra Klein of VOX that Carly Fiorina picked up themes and policy prescriptions that don't seem to apply to the current reality. For example, her call for more military maneuvers in the Baltic states. President Obama has been doing that for months. Or her suggestion that troops in Germany should be beefed up. What would adding to the 40,000 there now add to our national security.
++Josh Marshall hints that Marco Rubio was pandering for more money from Sheldon Adelson.
++The kicker is that JEB! sent out a tweet this morning that his brother "Kept Us Safe". The Tweet had the image of W standing on the rubble of the Twin Towers. I guess that happened on someone else's watch.
++In the foreign policy section, Ben Carson had suggested a different approach that he told W. While sensible, he's running in the Republican primary. But no one mentioned that W failed to get bin Laden, when he invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.
