Excellent piece. A bit long but worth the read.

Mr. President, remember it's your country too

Why would you even bother to read someone with Krauthammer's record of being totally wrong about everything? He's a wingnut welfare queen whose advice and opinions have gotten us to the mess we're in. I'd ask whether he thinks America is his country, or is he more tied to Israel?

Here's what obama "strong, smart" foreign policy got;

Quote:
The obligatory emergency Security Council session produced nothing. No sanctions. No resolution. Not even a statement. China and Russia professed to find no violation whatsoever. They would not even permit a U.N. statement that dared express "concern," let alone condemnation.
A smackdown from China and Russia.

Quote:
Having thus bravely rallied the international community and summoned the United Nations -- a fiction and a farce, respectively -- what was Obama's further response? The very next day, his defense secretary announced drastic cuts in missile defense, including halting further deployment of Alaska-based interceptors designed precisely to shoot down North Korean ICBMs. Such is the "realism" Obama promised to restore to U.S. foreign policy.
This is deeply troubling. A nuclear Iran and a crazed NK with nukes - and obama wants to emasculate our missile defense.

Quote:
He certainly has a vision. Rather than relying on America's unique technological edge in missile defenses to provide a measure of nuclear safety, Obama will instead boldly deploy the force of example. How? By committing his country to disarmament gestures -- such as, he promised his cheering acolytes in Prague, ratifying the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.

And what did he get for this obsessive denigration of his own country? He wanted more NATO combat troops in Afghanistan to match the surge of 17,000 Americans. He was rudely rebuffed.
He groveled, bowed and threw America under the bus (everything is America's fault in obama's world, and he told the world just that) for a few short-lived accolades.

And what did he get for Guantanamo? France, pop. 64 million, will take one prisoner. One! (Sadly, he'll have to leave his bridge partner behind.) The Austrians said they would take none. As Interior Minister Maria Fekter explained with impeccable Germanic logic, if they're not dangerous, why not just keep them in America?
How humiliating.

Totally wrong is whose opinion? Nice way to sling the names around instead of addressing the points made, and thanks for that small bit of anti-semitism.

Point out the antisemitism.

I asked which country was his primary concern. You can't tell from his policies. How is that antisemitic, except to a total moron?

Right...I'm a "total moron" because you brought up Israel which has absolutely nothing to do with Obama or the article. Why, because Krauthammer is a jew?

Krauthammer is a columnist, and he doesn't have policies, only opinions, but I'd love to hear your specifics since you made the charge. Why not address the discussion about the foreign policy espoused by the President of the United States? The conversation is about Obama's view that the US is always the one to blame, not the author's support for Israel.

Obamie has a kumbaya ideology. Let's hug and get along. What a total dips***. Disarmament, yea so they can come over here and kick our ass.

He is an embarrassment to this country and should be kicked out.

Reagon, Bush Sr. Bush Jr. Nixon, LBJ and even Clinton kept the US safe. Barry is working as fast as he can to bring the war on terror over here. And he can't tell me I can't say "war on terror".
