Our man in New York sends word of a passage that caught his eye in a critical analysis by Daily Beast/Newsweek journalists Christopher Dickey and John Barry of U.S. President Barack Obama’s flailing Middle East policy:
A former U.S. ambassador says he’s heard that the North Koreans are telling the Chinese “if this is the best the Americans can do in Libya, we’ve got nothing to worry about.”
That does not sound good. And we rather suspect we know how the Chinese side would have replied.
