Jennifer Rubin’s Idea of a Zinger

Here’s Washington Post neocon Jennifer Rubin
with her
idea of a zinger:

Sometimes it is hard to tell [Barack] Obama and [Rand]
Paul apart. Consider this: “History teaches us of the dangers of
overreaching, and spreading ourselves too thin, and trying to go it
alone without international support, or rushing into military
adventures without thinking through the consequences.” Obama or
Rand Paul?

In case you’re curious, the answer is
Obama. The more interesting question: Who exactly finds this
collection of boilerplate foreign-policy truisms offensive? Bush
himself could have delivered those lines in 2003 while attempting
to argue that the Iraq War would avoid those traps. Is Rubin
for overreaching, spreading ourselves too thin, and
rushing into military adventures without thinking through the
consequences? (Well, yes; she is. But I didn’t realize she was
aware of it.)
