Scowcroft Mystified

Well, frustrated is more like. He seems to nail the reason for Repug intransigence pretty well:

"It's not clear to me what it is," said Brent Scowcroft, a former national security adviser to President George H.W. Bush who noted that this START treaty is not very different from previous ones negotiated and ratified under Republican presidents. "I've got to think that it's the increasingly partisan nature and the desire for the president not to have a foreign policy victory."

Sums it up. Fuck the country or, in this case, the world, we want Obama to fail.
