John Podhoretz [lauds ](http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OTg5YmQwYjZiYWNhZWI3NTU2ZGUxNGU5M2VlOGNmZDQ=)Max Boot as “profoundly percipient and learned.”

Presumably he’s talking about a different Max Boot than [the one who promised us it would take between 60,000–75,000 troops to occupy Iraq.](https://www.cato.org/2007/02/07/max-boot-as-oracle/)
