Re: Wife Or Child -- Which One Has The Best Foreign-Policy Experience?

daveinboca — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 11:04:40 -0000

When Sen. Obama says he will sit down with Ahmed…jad without preconditions and will invade Waziristan with US troops without Pak permission, he is so off-base and naive that no amount of Jakarta playground experience can overcome his lack of experience.

I assume that Richard Holbrooke or perhaps Bill Richardson will be named Secretary of State. Sane hands at that helm might dissuade Obama from such walks on the mild side as the Iranian proposal.

However, his pronouncements on foreign policy demonstrate a deep lack of understanding of the nasty fact that the US has enemies who are not going to be sweet-talked by even such a charming fellow as B. Hussein Obama. Or Barry, as he used to call himself during his drug-daze in college.

Come to think of it, wouldn't Barry's high-daze give him expertise on drug issues?

But Hillary must be dreaming if she thinks being First Lady is a resume even for foreign policy chops.

Sadly, the entire Bush operation's outreach to its own base mirrors its inability to explain itself in Reaganesque or even Clintonesque clarity & concision.

GWB operates as though he has a base vocabulary of about 5000 words, and his limited range of communication skills really sets the tone for an administration which often acts as though they are a deer in the headlights.

The press conference on Iran & the NIE shows he cannot in clear and simple terms communicate with the American people, preferring to try to woo the hostile press or to state principles. Give the people red meat to either chew on or reject. But the mealy-mouthed shrugs and smirks just don't convey much besides frustration. And if George could just rouse up the conservative troops like an articulate cheerleader, rather than claiming to be a quarterback [I'm the decider..."]

GWB is no Tom Brady, and he certainly isn't a two-fer like Reagan.

Romney may be the default GOP candidate. Rudy was the strong defender of our freedoms as the Dems tried so hard to lose the war in Iraq, but now it appears that domestic concerns outweigh foreign policy---thanks to Petraeus & the Surge & our brave fighting men.

Romney has the resume and the appearance of a managerial type, a governor rather than a Mayor of a fractious zoo of a city. Huckabee is also a governor, though not of an "important" state like liberal MAssachusetts.

Every time I see Rudy's eyes bulge as he speaks, and check out Huckabee's strange sentence commutations and strong "Christian" backing from home-schoolers and buckle-of-the-Bible-belters, I cringe a bit. Is this guy ready for foreign policy when he never heard of the NIE on Iran?

In my heart, I'm a Fredhead, but think he lacks the energy & drive---plus "experience" as a Senator reminds me of the three top Dems, who also are lawyers like Fred.

McCain just has that flakiness on the border & illegals, so I guess it's sort of a process of elimination & Romney is the last man standing.

He sure beats the Troika of lawyer/senator types on top of the Dem greasy pole.

Beautiful and understated in a time when shrill and in-your-face tastelessness prevails, Thompson's ad reminds us of the higher calling to greatness true Americans respond to.

Classy and thought-provoking, with a tug at the heartstrings to boot.

Re: Taylor Marsh’s Amazing Dishonest Adventure

Taylor Marsh and another skank named Jeralyn are two skags simply unable to brook any opposition to their Hillarious fraud of a candidate. I wouldn't be surprised if Ickes and Grunwald were slipping them some bucks under the table to continue their one-sided rants.

Muslim crime and near-terrorist harassment of non-observant Muslims is exempt, as is crime by illegal aliens in sanctuary cities. Part of the nanny-state project already showing its unattractive nether regions to the public!

Re: N. Koreans caught on video at Syrian Nuke plant

Syria and other terrorist countries are systematically and deliberately empowered by NGO striped-pants cookie pushers like David Albright [any relation to the dumbest SecState we’ve ever had?]

I was actually disempowered to comment on the most egregious Syria-lovin’ blog-site on this very issue a few months ago, after I depants and spanked with FACTS several inaccurate & misleading pieces the site is question was posting vis-a-vis Syria. There are all sorts of apologists for terror and it’s all based on the prevailing Hate America vibe that the loo-zer countries in the UN that can’t run their economies use as a distraction.David Albright is a not-very-bright example of the above.

l Baradei & his buddy Dr. Khan in Pakistan are both trying to facilitate an Islamic Bomb in the hands of anti-Israel nutjobs---pure and simple. That's why they gave this terrorist-wannabe & the IAEA a Nobel Peace Prize, just to destroy the brand further! Just another anti-Jewish cabal!

Dennis is the funniest literate dude on the tube. His greatest moments occur weekly on B O'Reilly and I watch every Wednesday.

The Weisberg article [or else another I read in the FT this morning] brought up Pelosi's fierce record on Chinese HR violations.

The Doha Follow-Up appears doomed, and fast-track will also disappear.

On another side of the coin, the newly elected Dems are so anti-immigrant that the Bush/Pelosi/McCain Wall Street Journal amnesty bill might still have problems in the House.

The current hysteria is a symptom of displacement, a psychological mechanism that allows one to ignore real threats like Islamic terrorism, in order to focus on imaginary phantasms like Anthropogenic Global Warming. Part of the left's denial of reality, a symptom of a larger mass psychosis infecting much of the American electorate.

I thought there was a terrible "civil war" going on there. The [C]ommunist [N]ews [N]etwork, the NYT, Dingy Harry Reid, Nancy Pee-loosey, how could they all be wrong?

Re: Republican Debate Was A Waste Of Time

Romney dodged the silly mousetraps twin-tyros Brian-boy and Timmy threw in his direction, including the ridiculous NYT allegation that the other candidates don't LIKE Mitt.

Brian-boy and Timmy apparently are so surrounded by the New York cocoon that they do esteem the opinion of the NYT, demonstrating their compleat ignorance of Republicans. Rudy should have put the Old Grey Hooker into its place.

Romney won by appearing far superior to the two midgets asking questions.
