“”Obama calls for “new direction” in international relations. AP
This is one of today’s headlines. No one is sure what the hell it means. I must assume that not even Obama knows the true meaning of this statement, because he has yet to tell us. It sure does sound good, however.
I guess whatever direction we have been going in will be stopped by him and he will just go the other way. If you use logic here, you have to assume that in nothing are we going in the right direction? Everything is wrong? Must be, because he will do the opposite of Mr. Bush; weather or not Mr. Bush was on the right track is unimportant.
Obama says Afghanistan”…a war we have to win.” AP
So, it will be OK to lose in Iraq? There will be no consequences if we lose there?
A vitally strategic ally, on the verge of defeating its Al Qaeda insurgents, floating on an ocean of oil, and near other oceans of oil, who is just now beginning to enjoy the blessings of liberty and freedom from tyranny, will be discarded? Then you claim a landlocked hell-hole nation that has never been conquered by anyone must be defeated? What have you been smoking lately, Mr.Obama?
Sounds like you’ve puffing on more than your Kool 100’s. And you inhale.

Obama: Iraq distracting from every other threat. AP
So, thousands of deaths and woundings; billions of dollars spent, countless debates, the involvement of scores of nations, the blessing of most of the members of the U.N. are distractions?
The freeing of over fifty million Muslims from the clutches of a lunatic dictator who upon his eventual death, would have brought about one of his (even more brutal) sons rein is nothing more than a distraction?
Exactly how it is that we are “less safe” after deposing scores of lunatic Muslim leaders than we were before the wars started? Why can’t we make them mad? I'm thinking maybe when someone wants to kill me, maybe it would be ok to stop him?
1) That plan seems to have worked for thousands of years in law enforcement and warfare.
2) Or, we can we now only talk to our enemies and then hope they don’t slit our throats?
I choose number one.
