CSPAN - Thomas Barnett and a Blueprint for Action

I sat transfixed as
Thomas Barnett did his amazing PowerPoint show on CSPAN last night on his 2006 book "A Blueprint for Action". His analysis is extremely critical of the Bush Administration for its blundering, ham-fisted handling of Iraq. Not, that Barnett disagrees that something needs to be done with the Middle East. It is that his analytical brief runs to six pages, whereas Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld cannot put six words together about their rationale (`global war on terror' is only four).
I particularly enjoyed his notion that the current crisis is being run by Ford Administration retreads.
