Obama’s Arab spring is taking firm hold and bringing forth fruit.

For those with an open mind! Glenn who did not support Romney in any way, except he is not obama, has done a complete mia culpa. He sent his people out, not with the help of Romney’s people, and found many, many stories of this good man. The stories that he will not tell. He is not prideful/boastful (think of someone who is?)! Glenn was amazed that no one had brought any of these stories out. They have 8, but he had to limit it at that – they found so many people that Mitt had helped without telling anyone. Contrast this to 0bozo whose brother can’t even ask him for help.
So it will be on Fri on GBTV.com, or Dish network on channel 212. I will be out in the wide blue yonder, so I hope he will put it on theblaze.com after Friday.
I can’t wait to see it. I have heard many things as well I wonder if any will be represented.

Please let’s really see who we are electing, Something we don’t know about “0″>

In both Egypt and even more in Libya — where Obama applied military force to dislodge and topple Moammar Qaddafi — the White House left power vacuums that allowed the most radical elements to seize control.

… And that’s just the way he wants it. He wants the masses to rule themselves. His anti-colonialist behavior is on full display here. Power vacuum? What power vacuum?

Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt were all allies of one sort or another. I’m tired of the naive view that America can only work with Western-style Democracies. You work with what’s available. In the Middle East, that means working with dictators. If you want to do what’s best for American interests, you hold your nose and take care of business.

Saudi Arabia is conducting an offensive against the west that has done more damage than Iran ever will. They are funding terrorist networks and radical Muslim groups throughout the world. They funnel money to mosques and advocacy groups that are crippling western governments who are greedy for the cash being handed out and terrified of the groups like CAIR and the terror networks that attempt to silence western voices. Pakistan would be the next worst offender on the list and they too are claimed to be a valuable American ally.

American ‘allies‘ in the Muslim world are some of the worst offenders.

We have no allies in the middle east and are foolish to ever convince ourselves otherwise.

Israel is in the Middle East, and they’re definitely an ally. Do other Middle East nations see the world like we do? No. But do they work with us toward common goals, like keeping Iran in check? Absolutely.

Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt were all allies of one sort or another. I’m tired of the naive view that America can only work with Western-style Democracies. You work with what’s available.

What’s Willard McDole going to do to fix this? Oh sure – he won’t be “apologizing” the way Ogabe does all the time – but Willard has no foreign policy experience, knows nothing about the military, and doesn’t have the balls to do anything if he did.

Compare to Obama, circa 2008.

Even if your analysis of Romney’s FP abilities were true, he’d be better than Obama was coming into office. Remember Salt Lake City? The Olympics aren’t an America-only event. There’s plenty of international governing bodies, delicate naming issues (where do China and Taiwan enter?), and all sorts of coordination with foreign bodies.

Further, Romney has built international corporations. That means companies that work in more than one nation. He’s got close ties to some world leaders, which is more than Obama could say in 2008.

Lastly, you don’t need to be a genius to conduct sound foreign policy. You just need to be clear, consistent, and strong. That worked for America for decades. State Dept. can advise him, as long as he’s got a broad vision for America’s place in the world, he can apply it consistently to good result.

Excellent point. I am no Palin fan but you are quite correct on this one.

She will never be president but the two men running, one of which will win, are totally insufficient to what waits for them in that White House chair.

Like many others, here, I’d sort of expected some sort of “wag the dog” scenario from this bunch.
I don’t, anymore.
The reason is because ANYONE planning such an idea would at least have their ducks in a row, meaning all talking points at the ready, facts at their fingertips, etc before engaging in such a thing… If for no other reason than to sound presidential, gutsy, and on top of things.

THIS BUNCH COULDN’T EVEN SUCCESSFULLY WALK A DOG, LET ALONE WORK OUT SOMETHING THAT COMPLEX !!! Leading from behind, backtracking on proclamations of State Dept policies, spending 90 seconds in Vegas to mention such ‘a tough day’, and I could go on & on.

I’ve never witnessed such idiotic moves by an admin .. and that even includes Carter & Clinton !!
These are the the keystone Cops on bath salts !!!
Sickens my stomach.

Apologies to Keystone Cops, everywhere.

Obama Gaffe: White House “Clarifies” Obama’s “Egypt is no Ally” statement.

portlandon on September 13, 2012 at 1:37 PM

He meant Egypt is no Ally Bank, right? As in the finance arm of GM (or former finance arm, whatever). The federal government owns a big stake in Ally Bank, thanks to Obama’s multi-billion-dollar giveaway . . . er, “bailout” of GM. Obama just meant we don’t own Egypt like we own Ally Bank (although we do piss away billions of taxpayer dollars on Egypt every year, so it has that in common with Ally Bank).

But good grief, people! Why all this fuss about a simple mistake by Obama, especially when it’s clearly all Mitt Romney’s fault?

If Mitt hadn’t mis-timed his statement criticizing the Cairo embassy’s craven apology to the Islamofascist mobs, none of this would be happening.

NBC and B. Obama come to justice with the same dirty hands.

Justice sees and knows.

Easy to judge these.

Soon.
