This way today, that way tomorrow, who knows which way the day after that
The New York Times has offered a harsh assessment of President Obama’s foreign policy.
“For President Obama, the handshakes and hugs during his first visit to the United Nations last week masked a cold reality: nine months into his presidency, he is being forced to retool his most important foreign policy initiatives, from the war in Afghanistan to peace in the Middle East and his diplomatic overture to Iran.”
If the Times article had of touched on the awful handling of Honduras and the abandonment of our long term allies Poland and The Czech Republic we would say that they have summed up his overseas efforts nicely.
It is getting to the point that the New York Times, famous for its unwavering support for Democrats, liberals, progressives and socialists, is stuck with making positive comments about Obama such as “Nice suit.”
“The problem for President Obama is he has made the case in the past that we took our eye off the ball and we should have stayed in Afghanistan,” said former Defense Secretary William Cohen. But now that he is in charge of the war, Mr. Cohen said, Mr. Obama is discovering “he doesn’t have much in the way of options” and time is of the essence. Mr. Cohen added, “The longer you wait, the harder it will be to reverse it.”
Cohen is underestimating Barack Obama. Reversing is something he’s never had a problem with as dozens of his campaign promises can attest.

3 to 1 he’s going to cut and run from Afghanistan. He’ll declare a victory because he has too big an ego not to. But he doesn’t have the balls to stay the course.
He needs to stop his nonsense and at least get on the phone with General McChrystal and let him know if McChrystal is getting the troops or not. Lazy, good-for-nothing bum. He needs to get his head out of his butt. Our troops are dying.

Give him a break. He was taught by the best to hate America.
Wouldn’t use the NYT to train a puppy on.
