Another Trick Question

Why People Continue To Be Angry About The Crotch Bomber | QandO
Well, let’s review – Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, bought a one-way ticket to the US, using cash and checked no luggage. 8 years ago. So, as Jon Stewart ask recently on the Daily Report, what other than the location of the explosives changed […]



Codevilla Excerpt

Once upon a time I promised to review Angelo Codevilla’s latest book:
Advice to War Presidents: A Remedial Course in Statecraft
But instead, I think I will just post excerpts as the spirit moves me, and let you decide for yourself whether you might want to read the rest.
Here we go:
Diplomacy is the verbal representation of a […]

The gutless pussy in the White House tried to railroad Blackwater in order to make himself look good to America’s enemies, but luckily, he failed: All Charges in Blackwater Case Are Dismissed.

Incompetent, Gutless Pussy Fails Again…

A Defiant Iran Details Plan for 10 Enrichment Plants - NYTimes.com
Iran warned Sunday that it would reduce its cooperation with United Nation’s nuclear agency and in a gesture of defiance it ordered the construction of 10 new uranium enrichment plants.
Say, that Obummer is one hell of a diplomating genius, isn’t he?
At this rate, we’ll […]



Liars, Poltroons, and Thieves

He’s Not My President - I Want Him To Fail

Opinion: Obama Has Failed the World on Climate Change - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International
US President Barack Obama came to office promising hope and change. But on climate change, he has followed in the footsteps of his predecessor George W. Bush. Now, should the climate summit in Copenhagen fail, the blame will lie squarely […]



Once Great Nation

Hillary Clinton Scolds Pakistan Over Inaction on Al-Qaida

Well, she certainly is a common scold, but why didn’t they just stick her in a burka and have done with it? Were there no Saudi kings around for her to bow to?



Wasp’s Nest Strategy

Hillary Clinton wraps up tough mission in Pakistan | World news | guardian.co.uk
“I can’t answer that question,” she told students in Lahore, according to one guest present. “It’s a military to military matter.”
Yeah. It’s beyond her IQ grade and her competency level.
The CIA-operated drone strikes have been enthusiastically embraced by the Obama administration, which […]



Dollar, Party, Nation at Crossroads

Global economy has no substitute for falling dollar - Times Online
Which puts the ball right back in the Fed’s court. Unless Bernanke drains liquidity from the financial system, and shrinks the Fed’s balance sheet by winding down $2 trillion in support programmes — and does so precisely when the recovery takes hold so as not […]



Standing on the Shoulders of Jimmy Carter

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Who lost France?
Now who’s the go-it-alone cowboy? Obama has damaged relations with the UK, France, the Czech Republic, and Poland, which even Joe Biden was forced to admit yesterday. Instead, Obama has focused his friendlier attention on Russia and Iran. What has Obama and the US […]



New World Obama Order

A very disturbing video.



Ten Days That Shook David Brooks and the World

Nobel: A Peace Prize About Nothing » Cold Fury
No roundup would be complete without the word from the Cold Fury shack. Noel agrees with me about the affirmative action aspect, by the way.



What Accomplishments, Period?

What Exactly Did Barack Obama Do To Win A Nobel Peace Prize?
Uh, what? After reading that, I’m still scratching my noggin trying to figure out what makes Barack Obama deserving of this honor. He won a Nobel Peace Prize for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples?” Is that what you […]



Taking Care With Dear Leader

Obama Approval Index History - Rasmussen Reports™
Obama’s approval numbers have improved from -10 to -6, a substantial surge, since his Olympics fiasco in Copenhagen.
My hunch is that Americans think his critics are being too hard on him, and give him credit for at least trying to get the games for Chicago.
As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, this […]



Which Is More Corrupt? The IOC, Or the UN?

ElBaradei says nuclear Israel number one threat to Mideast: report_English_Xinhua
TEHRAN, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) — Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mohamed ElBaradei said Sunday that “Israel is number one threat to Middle East” with its nuclear arms, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Fear Is A Tool

Vodkapundit
When a genuine tough guy, like a Vlad Putin or a Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, sees the American President get rolled by Nancy Pelosi… well, it’s pretty much, “Game over, man. Game over!”
OK, that’s what Vlad is thinking. Ahmadinejad is probably thinking, and not even wistfully, of the other great line from Aliens. You know the one.
“I […]



Oh, the Huge Vanity!

S. Weasel
Like others, I assumed he had it in the bag before flying out to accept the honor (which was tacky enough, but just inside the bounds). To prostrate THE OFFICE OF MY COUNTRY’S PRESIDENT before the international gang of midget wrestlers that is the Olympic Committee, and to do it ON SPEC?! AND FAIL?!
I […]

The Obama Foreign Policy In a NUT-shell

Beyond Parody: ‘We’ve got to think about giving out cookies’ - Rich Lowry - The Corner on National Review Online
“We’ve got to think about giving out cookies,” said Gration, who was appointed in March. “Kids, countries, they react to gold stars, smiley faces, handshakes, agreements, talk, engagement.” …
The man in the White House is totally […]



A Quick Thought On The Polanski Arrest

Albeit a case of delayed justice, and anything but a done deal, I have a feeling that the Swiss arresting Roman Polanski on an extradition warrant is a little more complex than it first appears.
Since Obama became pResident, the government has really been twisting Switzerland’s balls over their banking rules. The Swiss have been rolling […]



Brown Down

Barack Obama snubs Gordon Brown over private talks | Politics | The Guardian
Brown’s efforts to secure a prestigious primetime slot for his keynote speech at the general assembly in New York were also thwarted when the Libyan leader, Colonel Gaddafi, delivered a 100-minute speech to the UN, massively running over Brown’s 15 minute slot.
Lesson to […]

Obama At United Nations: Anti-Israeli Sentiment Gets Biggest Applause | Right Wing News
The tale of the tape for Obama at the UN goes something like this:
