| W.R. Mead: As Libya Implodes, "Smart Diplomacy" Becoming a Punch Line |

| #5 If "smart diplomacy" is the punch line, what is the joke? No wait, I know the answer and he's hiding under his desk in the oval office. |

| #4 As smart as he is, he doesn't vote based upon the conclusions of his intellect Mr. Meade is the last of the old school liberals. He and his ilk will vote for Clinton or Warren; whoever rises to the top of the Democratic tank. That said, he also suffers from "pointy-headed academic syndrome." All is primarily theoretical. There are expectations that the media will perform its supposed duties, that US foreign policy teams have a semblance of competency, and the Oval Office has a resident that gives a fig about their legacy. |

| #2 If you are intelligent and observant you would know that "Smart Diplomacy" was a punch line from the moment it was uttered. |

| #1 And yet WRM voted twice for Obama. And will likely vote for Hillary/Warren in 2016. As smart as he is, he doesn't vote based upon the conclusions of his intellect. |
