that the Obama administration thinks is a good idea.. In the end Obama will be seen as a clown overseas if he continues this pathway...
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2009/02/022894.php >>> As they travel around the world, the first thing that Barack Obama's >>> minions do--taking a cue from Obama himself--is to trash the policies of >>> Obama's predecessor. Most recently it was John Kerry in Beirut, speaking in >>> anticipation of his meeting with Bashar Assad in Syria: "But unlike the Bush administration that believed you could simply tell people what to do and walk away and wait for them to do it, we believe we have to engage in a discussion," Kerry said.... This is false; it is also stupid. Can you recall any other occasion when an incoming administration has toured the world, insulting American foreign policy? I can't. Obama's foolish mea culpa--or America culpa?--Scott's the Latin scholar--lets our enemies off the hook. Thus, Assad, a vicious tyrant, is in the luxurious position of welcoming America's apology and awaiting more tangible concessions from the new administration: Syria's ambassador to Washington described the congressional visits to Damascus as being "of extreme importance and depth." But he stressed he was still waiting to see if the visits change "the manner of dialogue between us and America." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
