Dezinformatsiya

I meant to point out this article the other day but I got distracted by the tornado.  Ion Mihai Pacepa writes in the WSJ about the Soviet era anti-American offensive and how it applied to current political partisanship.

But as someone who escaped from communist Romania--with two death sentences on his head--in order to become a citizen of this great country, I have a hard time understanding why some of our top political leaders can dare in a time of war to call our commander in chief a "liar," a "deceiver" and a "fraud."

I spent decades scrutinizing the U.S. from Europe, and I learned that international respect for America is directly proportional to America's own respect for its president.

An interesting read.  Has the opposition achieved its objective of making people believe we're more of a threat than jihadists?
