Dude. That was cold.

The Washington Post reports

Hey Ed! The rest of us are supposed to use a /sarc tag when we supposedly “report” stuff from the waaaahhhpoooo.
Oh wait a minute.
You didn’t actually read the wapo.
Thanks for sniff taking one for the team.

Only a secular State that rejects any hint of sharia law would bring about a true democracy or representative republic. This is a job for Joe Biden for sure.

You’re all very surprised, I know. This is so uncharacteristic of Obama. The United States will not use force to inspect a North Korean ship suspected of carrying banned goods, an American official was quoted as saying Friday. An American……

The important issues are universal health care and saving the planet.

Democracy is overrated. These guys need to get with the Obama program.

Obama is more interested in not letting Bush be vindicated than acting in America’s interests.

Ironically, that’s part of what’s vindicating Bush.

“When Obama does not take a stance, the very next day these oppressive regimes will regard this as a signal. This is a test for his government,” said Ayman Nour, a noted Egyptian opposition politician who was recently released from jail. “If they can turn a blind eye to their enemy, they can turn a blind eye to any action here in Egypt.”

Wait a second. What about the vaunted Cairo effect? I thought he inspired the reformists in the Middle East to stick their necks out and oppose their regimes. I don’t get it. This sounds like the dissidents aren’t really inspired by The One, but more concerned that he will let them get crushed. I just don’t get it.

By the way, remember when Obama would talk about how many more enemies George Bush created for America with his cowboy diplomacy? Well, when the reformers and dissidents around the world watch Obama cozy up to their oppressors what are they going to think of America?

How many people in the Middle East, Venezuela and Cuba are going to feel betrayed by America? Their faith in America won’t be easily restored. He doesn’t realize it, but he is creating more negative feelings for America than George W Bush ever did.

Has anyone noticed the increase of suicide bombings in Iraq?

Yes.

What’s going on in Iran started in Iraq. The terrorists and liberals are more desperate to “stabilize” the region now than they ever were before.

Obama keeps begging Iran’s Mullahs to squash these pro-democracy demonstrations, but the dictators are pissed that he hasn’t yet removed the giant thorn in their side that keeps riling up their subjects in the first place.

I also like the Amish/Mennonite prayer coverings in a ‘little house on the prairie’ kinda way.

Simpler, sweeter times.

If you went back in time in this country 50 years, they would think almost every woman was dressed like a tramp now. In the Middle East, even our most modest womens clothes would look slutty to them.

Sure. Societal norms change over time, but that doesn’t excuse the burka. In no free society has that ever been considered modest. It’s a monstrosity.

If Tehran square was suddenly filled with sweaty Jabbas, even I’d vote for Sharia law

LimeyGeek on June 26, 2009 at 12:50 PM

I think we’re all pro-burka when it comes to Rosie O’Donald.

LimeyGeek on June 26, 2009 at 12:50 PM

LOL! Your terrible. That’s not the big picture you are suppose to be focusing on.

Could Iran restart democracy movements in Arab world?

Planting seeds.

If they’re cultivated, seeds don’t grow without care and nutrients.

I’m sorry, but there is a vast, vast difference between dressing like a “tramp” and wearing the burka.

Never mind, but the message is very close.

Dude!!

Now if they all removed them in mass that might be a really strong sign.

Cindy Munford on June 26, 2009 at 12:10 PM

I completely agree with your last sentence.

Esthier on June 26, 2009 at 12:37 PM

Only if they’re not hairy and flabby underneath.
