Obama is a two-face, liar, and un-American.

Liberal foreign policy is like the old joke about a drunk endlessly searching for his dropped car keys under a street lamp, because the light is better there. Having decided that vast, dark sectors of reality are beyond the pale, they orbit within a few safe, childish assumptions, and react badly to anything that challenges them. 9/11 shattered every liberal preconception about terrorism, therefore it did not happen. Iran can’t be building a nuclear arsenal, therefore it isn’t. Bush couldn’t be right about anything, so their foreign policy is the exact opposite of whatever Bush says. You can watch them talk themselves out of seeing what’s right in front of their eyes.

What really scares me about Obama is the way our enemies are likely to take advantage of that blindness and naivete. Put yourself on the other side of the War on Terror for a moment, huddled in a cave on the Pakistani border, or sitting on the Iranian ruling council. Obama wins the Presidency with a sizable majority of his party in Congress, and you know they are absolutely dedicated to the following propositions: (1) Bush was completely wrong in everything he did while president, (2) they will do everything possible to avoid military conflict on any scale, (3) they believe everything is negotiable, and (4) they have spent considerable energy arguing that terrorists have no direct link to any nation-state, and would be prepared to spend even more energy reinforcing that argument, since doing otherwise would inevitably lead to the military conflict they loathe. As a leader in the jihad, this situation gives you outstanding incentives to perform a major terror strike, then send your “respectable” nation-state proxies to conduct negotiations. I have very little trouble imagining Obama giving a speech in the ruins of an Atlanta shopping mall, one year after the brutal terrorist bombing that killed thousands, declaring peace in our time because our Iranian friends helped us arrest a couple of fall guys. Meanwhile, those same Iranian friends hand the Obama administration a quiet list of demands to ensure there are no more bombings, and the administration quietly complies.

Yeah, seems to me no one thought a whole lot about Japan’s ability to be a significant threat either circa 1941…

John “Maverick” McCain… living up to the Bush legacy of “Do as I say, not as I do”…

Perhaps he should take a few years to study the actual issues and the history of American policy on this subject before running for President

Liberals never learn from experience. No one can deny that Jimmy Carter, for example, has vast foreign policy experience; but he still hasn’t learned a damn thing.
Give Obama another 20 years and he’ll still remain a Liberal.

I saw Chris Dodd spewing this same lame line of spin on Fox News Sunday yesterday.

peski on May 19, 2008 at 12:51 PM

Yes, I saw it also, but it was ‘way beyond spin. It made me physically ill.

We live in very dangerous times.

Barry is simply advancing the interests of his ward in Chicago.

Which is to say, extreme left wing idiot views.

Amazing this guy is even considered for the Presidency.

Did McCain speak off the cuff? If he did, Obama is headed for the slaughter house in an open debate without a script. McCain sounded and said things VERY presidential. I think that when the two of them go head to head, Obama will come off sounding like the neophyte he is. McCain has my support.

As for Obama, it’s like Judi Dench as “M” said in CASINO ROYALE: “In the old days if an agent did something that embarrassing he’d have the good sense to defect. Christ, I miss the Cold War.”

All the reckless naivete of Jimmah Carter without the executive experience to justify his election. That’s our Obama!

Agreed. Somebody needs to check the copyright date on the college textbook Obama is using for his foreign affairs policy guidance.

Spot on statement from McCain. In fact its the best statement I’ve heard to date succinctly summing up the value of summits. As long as he keeps his temper under control when dealing with the constant jib jab that emanates from the Obama crowd, forcing McCain responses, he’ll be fine. He’s got some good speech writers.

He likes the Ivy League. He gets his foreign policy ideas from Noam Chomsky, his understanding on race in America from Cornel West, and his economic plan from Paul Krugman.

The Obammunists don’t care about war, except to try to avoid it at all costs. And by all costs I mean sacrificing our much of what makes our nation great.

They just want CHANGE. A self-loathing, psychotic bunch of cult members if you ask me.

We have already offered...Iran rejected it.

But Obama didn't offer it! He has Healing Change. You'll see.
