He turned truth on its head saying so. He called "these unwelcome developments" not entirely Bush's fault.
Who then if not him? Events preceding his presidency contributed. Post-9/11, they accelerated.
Obama advanced them further. Gordon perhaps knew he would if elected. Presidents prioritize advancing America's imperium.
Gordon's job at State does the same thing. His tenure and positions showed he did what Washington expects. He moves on to do more.
He wants America's standing in the world improved. In 2008, he said he wanted allies "inspired (to) work willingly with us, conduct tough but serious diplomacy with adversaries, (and) seek to build national unity and international legitimacy"."He said Obama needs "to defend traditional American interests forcefully while grappling with new issues and repairing the breach with an alienated world."
He didn't say how. It's unknown then if he knew what he knows now. Obama exceeded the worst of Bush. He's waging multiple direct and proxy wars. He's got others in mind.
