not even the Sudanese leadership that he had once pledged to isolate.  No country is too small to appease.

At home, however, he's willing to "take no prisoners" in his attacks on administration's critics.  In fact, no critic is too small to take on, whether it's liberal bloggers, or health insurers, or that good all-purpose whipping boy, Fox News.
