Two takes on current FP developments:

- Sudan recognizing Israel (along w/UAE, Bahrain & likely SA soon) is geopolitical realpolitik, destined to happen due to Iran& #39;s burgeoning threat

- This is a real achievement for Trump admin b/c of break from Obama& #39;s Iran-focused diplomacy

Either way, it& #39;s a good thing. Fine, don& #39;t give the people working under the hood at the Trump admin any credit for greasing the gears, if that sort of betrayal of partisan sentiment revolts you. It& #39;s still undeniably a great thing.

Look: end of the day? I& #39;m just happy if Ben Rhodes is sitting outside on his doorstep crying into his beer. Even I have to admit to some of my baser animal political impulses.

Every time I write the name "Ben Rhodes" in a tweet I& #39;m reminded of how much I loathe him and wish for the discrediting of what he stood for. I hope he & his family are all safe, happy and thriving, but man, the dude was due to be taken down 1,000 notches and IT FEELS GOOD.

Q FROM AUDIENCE: "how can we make the world safer?"

BUSH ADMINISTRATION: "let& #39;s export democracy via invasion!"

FOLLOWUP Q: "okay, but what do you do for an encore?"

BEN RHODES, SPEAKING FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: "Hold my beer, Dubya."
