Cellucci joins in the bashing of close allies and Daniel Drezner starts with three reasons this is stupid.
The Shorter Drezner is:
1) Don’t make empty threats
2) Don’t bother criticizing actions beyond the scope of the federal government.
3) Don’t make the Iraq question a make-or-break one for allies.
Why does this have to be pointed out?
And I’ll add threatening to slow the border is bad for trade and thus bad fore everyone.
