Are we REALLY surprised at this decision? This decision from our Donk elite who would probably agree far more than disagree with Amadinejad’s dream of “a world without America.” This decision, along with all of other The One’s decisions, is the highly predictable outcome when one uses a political calculus of a POTUS who is, and I am being VERY optimistic, deeply ambivalent about the role of his own country.

#2. Sobieski. I’m certain that September 17 held, and holds, absolutely NO significance to our leftist elite. I base my conclusion on the fact that I have at work a “friend” who is a big, big Noam Chomsky admirer. He considers himself a thinking man’s intellectual, well versed in affairs, domestic and foreign. During one of our heated discussions a while ago on WWII, I bought up the joint Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland and the “Hitler-Stalin” pact. He was utterly dumbfounded. He had NEVER heard of both. (He thought that only Hitler invaded Poland.) You see, Sobiesk1, the Left always filters out inconvenient facts, but of course you already knew that.
