A little too Ironic

From The Washington Times/Inside Politics column....

Some Republicans on Capitol Hill found it ironic that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi held a "national-security" press conference this week that featured former President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski.

...."The war in Iraq not only is going badly, politically as well as militarily, but it has already elevated Iran into the principal geopolitical force in the region," Mr. Brzezinski said.

...."It strains the limit of humor to hear the foreign-policy elite of the Democratic Party attempt to blame George W. Bush for enabling Iran to become a global menace," said the chairman of the House International Relations Committee, Rep. Henry J. Hyde of Illinois. "For it was a Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, who presided over the seizure of power in Tehran by Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, with a mixture of ineptitude and admiration. And it was Carter's national-security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who oversaw this disastrous foreign policy."

Mr. Hyde recalled the subsequent Iranian hostage crisis and said that the soft policy of appeasement continued under President Clinton.

"When it comes to foreign policy, at least the Democrats have the virtue of consistency," he said. "Unfortunately, they have been consistently wrong for as long as I can remember."
