President Obama - making the world safe for...

...Islamic nuclear terrorism since 2009.

It was easy at first to miss anything but the string of insults directed from Obama to Netanyahu, including the casual accusation of autism. (It’s arguable whether this represented a new low for the president, who has a habit of demonstrating his grade school playground vocabulary.) But once the initial shock at the further degrading of American statecraft under Obama wore off, it was easy to see the real purpose of the story. The Obama administration wanted to brag through its stenographer that the president had protected the Iranian nuclear program from Israel:

I ran this notion by another senior official who deals with the Israel file regularly. This official agreed that Netanyahu is a “chickenshit” on matters related to the comatose peace process, but added that he’s also a “coward” on the issue of Iran’s nuclear threat. The official said the Obama administration no longer believes that Netanyahu would launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in order to keep the regime in Tehran from building an atomic arsenal. “It’s too late for him to do anything. Two, three years ago, this was a possibility. But ultimately he couldn’t bring himself to pull the trigger. It was a combination of our pressure and his own unwillingness to do anything dramatic. Now it’s too late.”

If Iran goes nuclear, those words will be the perfect description of the Obama administration’s fecklessness: “Now it’s too late.” Too late, that is, for our allies like Israel and the Gulf states to protect themselves from the consequences of the Obama administration’s Mideast policies–which principally affect Israel and the Gulf states. //

Smart diplomacy.

I don't know that I mind an empty-headed father speaking Arabic as some kind of goodwill gesture...

...although it might have been nice to thank America and not the kidnappers...

...but how the hell does Bowe Bergdahl "lose" his ability to speak English in 5 years?




Plus, his army fellows say Bergdahl was a deserter.

And, of course, Obama broke the law by arranging a deal with hostage-takers.

Could the Obama administration be lying about the real story behind the Snowden security lapse?

Former Obama officials suggest that Snowden may have actually been working for the Russians and/or Chinese.

It's not like Obama doesn't have a history of putting political narrative above the truth.

Hey, Obama! The '80s called...

Thank goodness we have a Nobel Prize winner as President instead of that ignorant cowboy.


The Soviet Empire begins to re-assemble itself.

A defiant Russian President Vladimir Putin answered President Obama's announced sanctions against a handful of officials in Putin's inner circle -- but not Putin, himself -- by signing a treaty Tuesday making Crimea a part of Russia.
The signing follows a referendum on Sunday in which residents of Ukraine's southern region overwhelmingly backed the move. The treaty still must be approved by Russia's Constitutional Court and ratified by both houses of parliament. Those steps are considered mere formalities.
Putin signed the treaty with Crimea's prime minister and parliament speaker following a televised address to the nation, in which he vigorously defended Crimea's vote as a restoration of historical justice.
Putin has accused the West of encouraging unrest in Ukraine in order to break its historic ties with Russia, and dismissed Western criticism of the Crimean vote as illegitimate.
A Ukrainian military spokesman said that one Ukrainian serviceman was killed and another injured when a military facility in Crimea was stormed Tuesday by armed men just hours after Putin's speech.
The officer was shot in the chest, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry told Fox News, adding that the Ukrainian government now is allowing its soldiers to use firearms to defend themselves. 

Nothing to worry about here.
