As Gov. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., tacks left by calling for a complete troop withdrawal from Iraq, The New Republic's Ryan Lizza spent some time with the governor trying to divine his foreign-policy vision -- without much success. "The safe bet is that Richardson, despite his years on the world stage, has never developed any fixed foreign policy ideology. Or any fixed political identity, either," Lizza writes. Aside from misidentifying former Liberian dictator Charles Taylor and fumbling through some questions about Iraq, Richardson had this interesting thing to say about North Korean diplomats: "They're all named Kim."
