Barack Obama’s Pardon, Prostrate, and Plead Foreign Policy
Deguello – Um, that wasn’t a typo…um, I was wondering how ‘wise’ Bush kept us…you know, sage…um…ahem
I think Obama is being lambasted as a wuss in one breath and then being told he is just continuing Bush policies (re: Iraq and Afghanistan) in the next. Yes, he stopped the missile defense program, but the treaty that Bush had abandoned was part of what helped cool down the arms race many years ago (along with the balistic missile treaty, which Bush also renegged on) and as a response, Russia is doing things like invading Georgia. We can’t muscle Russia around, so if we aren’t going to play nice, they aren’t either.
Someone said the handling of the pirates showed Obama’s weakness but three dead pirates and one in jail looked like a pretty good show of resolve to me. And North Korea did missile tests while Bush was in office too and he didn’t do anything at all in response.
