how does he know they are Neocons lol There is no debate for trash.
What does that mean? Why not use sentences?
As for the core argument. The same crowd that plowed into Iraq on false assumptions are the ones spouting now about how the President needs to be more vocal. Subtley is never there strong suit.
Want names: Krauthammer, Wolfewitz, Frum and Andy McCarthy, for four.
Obama gets credit for nothing on the foreign stage, but there has been some notable progress, after all..

OK, let me see if I've got this right. Since Barack Obama has taken the presidential oath of office we have witnessed: a) Hezbollah lose a shoo-in election in Lebanon, b) Pakistan begin serious efforts to control the Taliban and al Qaeda elements inside its borders, c) Netanyahu of Israel mumble support about a two state solution and rethink settlements and, d) A major awakening of the Iranian citizenry against the heavy-handedness of the mullahs. What hasn't changed? The simple-minded thuggery of the Right when it comes to foreign policy (and Grover Norquist, someone should gently remind him that it's 2009, not 1989). They have long preferred a modified Teddy Roosevelt approach. Speak loudly and wail away with the biggest stick you can find. I don't know if all this is the results of one speech in Cairo by the President but if it is I hope he gives a second, and soon," - Carl Owen, Politico. |
