You've pssd it up against the wall

After browsing through a post by tabs on 911 & the corresponding replies I viewed a link that he posted:

Watching this again after all this time really hit a button. I felt the strongest sense of sympathy towards those in the US & felt like I'd support my country's involvement in any response to those acts. Pretty much how most around the world would have felt after the event. At that time you had most of the world with you. I believe the domestic equivalent is called political capital. And to be frank, your govt has pssd it up against a wall in Iraq. It's a real pity because so much could have been achieved & I'm pretty sure it will go down as a monumental loss of opportunity that will (hopefully) not come again. My thoughts regarding the american govt now mostly revolve around the fact that they can't be trusted & are dangerously incompetent.

If my situation is 'normal' or even close to it, that's a pretty large swing in sentiment.

Nice link tabs.
