"Strategic" "Thought"
Drum on Drezner on an excerpt from Robert Draper's Dead Certain. Read it and weep.
He's the decider, folks. He knows how to decide.
Back before the election of 2000 when people were floating this absurd line about Bush being the first "CEO president"...about how--though he didn't know anything himself--he would listen to the people who did know and make a decision on the basis of their input...I asked: so what exactly is Bush's role in all this? He doesn't know anything, and he's not smart. So he isn't providing the knowledge, and--lord help us--he better not be providing the reasoning. So wtf is it that he does?
Why, he decides...
My guess: he takes all the information, ignores it, and randomly generates a decision.
That's how you get:
(1) A group in Afghanistan attacked us
Therefore:
(2) We should attack Iraq

Man, didn't you see the Simpsons movie? President Arnold Schwartenegger has the guy put five plans in front of him, and then the guy tells him which plan to pick.
