He is an anti-interventionist popular with the small minority among liberals and the larger minority among conservatives who do not think a "small America" foreign policy a bad thing.
And he is a conservative who has refused from the beginning to believe in Obama's sincere belief that while the Iraq war was stupid the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan were good policy.
He was and is mistaken.
All the more so if he does not understand Obama is a Wilsonian globo-do-gooder of a darker hue and a Muslim childhood.
He is totally not surprised that the grandchildren of Lithuanians want to extend American and NATO protection to Lithuania.
He claims surprise that Obama, a man with serious identity issues and a second generation Kenyan brought up in Indonesia, accepts a special mission for America to play globo-cop and make the world shape up.
I voted for him twice and remain glad he defeated both Republicans.
But everything is what it is, and is not another thing, and I have no wish to be deceived.
Obama does not share Bacevich's views, and never did.
