WAS CHARLES TAYLOR A MAYOR?:
A Bush Alarm: Urging U.S. to Shun Isolationism (DAVID E. SANGER, 3/12/06, NY Times)
The president who made pre-emption and going it alone the watchwords of his first term is quietly turning in a new direction, warning at every opportunity of the dangers of turning the nation inward and isolationist, and making the case for international engagement on issues from national security to global economics.
Pre-emption/humanitarian intervention may be a lot of things, but how do you argue that it's isolationist and inward looking? Posted by Orrin Judd at March 13, 2006 9:28 AM

New direction -- same as the old.

Wasn't it just last week that the NY Times was revealing secret information on Germany's contribution to Iraq's liberation?
These guys can't get their story lines straight.
