While his reach will always exceed his grasp under these conditions, it's not as if he's been helpless or ineffective. That's surrender talk. If he had been, the neocons wouldn't be so wild to depose him. So everybody who wants to complain 'there's nothing he can do about it' had better get off his duff and put his shoulder to the wheel. Otherwise such 'sympathy' rings hollow.
