Irony:A UK Neo-Con expresses DELIGHT with Obama NO CHANGE in FP.
The irony, that what distresses most about Obama is "Greet News" to Neo-Cons, wonder to those that adore Obama will now say, well this i fine with me.Whatever Obama does i will judge good---"we are, we don't think, we just are devoted follwers"
Yes, Obama is beginning PLEASE Neo-Cons, here one neo-con delights in attacking the naive that believed in Obama would go anti-war pro-peace.
<<No sign of change in Barack Obama's foreign policy

So much for the messianic promise of change that Barack Obama made the centrepiece of his election campaign, but which has now quietly been dropped the moment he won the election. Far from turning Washington on its head and changing the way American conducts its business, the string of appointments his transition team announced over the weekend suggested, on the contrary, that it will be business as usual, particularly on national security issues.
Barack Obama isn't showing signs of wimpishness
With Hillary Clinton at State, Robert Gates (the architect of the military surge in Iraq) staying at the Pentagon and the hawkish, pro-Iraq war General James Jones running the National Security Council (Obama's Republican rival John McCain had pencilled in Jones to take over the Pentagon if he'd won), Mr Obama can hardly claim to have undertaken a revolution in America's defence and foreign policy.
Which is just as well for us Brits given how much we rely on the U.S. for the defence of our own realm. The last thing we need at a time when we are fighting wars on two fronts is for politically correct wimpishness to take root in the White House.
And it's just as well President Elect Obama has some wise heads around him as the international security challenges are not suddenly about to disappear, as my story in today's Telegraph about the developing links between Iran and al-Qaeda suggests. At least Mr Obama will be able to rest easy about Iraq if the new agreement is ratified between the U.S. and the Iraqi government to keep U.S. troops in Iraq until 2011. Once that's signed Mr Obama will have little option other than to keep to the schedule, even if it dismays all those naïve Americans who voted for him in the belief that he would initiate a cut and run policy. As Mr Obama makes the final preparations for his arrival at the White House next January it's time for all those anti-war, anti-Washington Americans to wake up and smell the coffee>> That bold face the mocking of Neo-Con of those that believed in anti-war, and were feirce opposed to Bush.
Now here i am, a despiser of Neo-Cons having to point out Obama, is making them smile more. Max
