The schizophrenic American left is always entertaining:

• It was wrong for George H.W. Bush to have left Saddam Hussein in power.
• Regime change of Iraq under Bill Clinton: Good!
• Regime change of Iraq under George W. Bush: Really, Really, Really Bad!
• It was wrong for George W. Bush to have removed Saddam Hussein from power.
• General Petraeus under George W. Bush’s command: General Betray-us.
• General Petraeus under Barack Obama’s command: help us Obi-Wan Petraeus, you’re our only hope!

And let’s flash back to good ol’ Harry Reid:

Liberal advocacy groups and senators at the time accused Petraeus of misrepresenting the success of the surge of nearly 40,000 troops. …

[Harry] Reid told CNN in April of 2007 he did not believe Petraeus’s claim that the surge was working in Iraq.

“I don’t believe him, because it’s not happening,” Reid said. “All you have to do is look at the facts.”

At a press conference a few months later, Reid said: “For someone, whether it’s Gen. Petraeus or anyone else, to say things are great in Baghdad isn’t in touch with what’s going on in Baghdad, even though he’s there and I’m not.”

Well Harry, someone is a fool but it ain’t the General…

Well the Russian spy scandal has certainly captured the imagination of the media and brought back memories of those long ago Cold War superpower struggles.  Not to mention Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Still, I’ve got to say that the overall quality of the 21st century spies appears to be much improved. 

1960s–Natasha Fatale

2010–Anna Chapman

You know, I’ve spied more than a few Russian women here in Itaewon.  Although it is no secret what they are up to.

For a price.

My younger brother, Gregory Lee.  This was taken at the “Filthy Five”, five acres the family owned out in the middle of nowhere, near Perris, California.  Probably taken around 1975 or so…
