Barack Obama is in precisely the same situation as Harry Truman nearly 60 years ago. No matter what ones opinion is of whose idea for prosecuting the war is correct and without regard for political philosophies and party affiliations, the President of the United States cannot – should not – be challenged in public by his military leaders.

On his February 2nd show, in making a point about America’s growing dependency on China, Beck said something that infuriated me. Being challenged on philosophy is one thing, but when a lie is used to stoke that challenge – well, that’s just pure liberalism that I can’t tolerate.

Ahmadinejad’s unstable bluster along with claims of nuclear weapons capability, historic and recurring fears of multi-national destruction in the Middle East are higher than ever. There is the potential for a Cuban-Missile-Crisis like confrontation between the United States and the Castro of Persia.

The president is – once again – negligent when it comes to a critical issue of national security. He doesn’t care. He has paid only lip (or teleprompter) service to the subject and reverted to his socialist domestic agenda. He is – once again – allowing politics to intrude on a critical national security. He is incapable of focusing on more than one topic at a time.

Yet another President of the United States wins the Nobel Peace Prize! Yee Ha! We’re Number One! We’re Number One! USA! USA! USA! USA! OK. Enough poorly constructed sarcasm.

Consider the disruption caused by three airplanes crashing into as many buildings in 2001. A coordinated cyberattack in just a couple of American cities would shut down the entire nation – possibly for years.

What are the diplomatic and geopolitical repercussions of Obama’s decision? Aside from the asinine timing of the announcement – on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s invasion of Poland – who gains from this change in policy? The U.S. does, marginally, according to the Pentagon, but Putin’s Russia and Ahmadinejad’s Iran are the greatest beneficiaries.

With all the criticism of the previous administration’s ‘cowboy’ diplomacy, let’s see what the ‘smarter’ diplomacy has gotten us so far: An appeal to Iran was met by derision by the head cleric and marches in the streets of people shouting ‘Death to America’ The mislabelled ‘restart’ button given to the Russians seems to have [...]

Anjem Choudary said he wanted the “flag of Allah” flying over Downing Street, all women wearing burkas and caning for drunkenness. This is [...]
