Here We Go…Crisis Awaits Obama
Saturday, November 8th, 2008Finally, after decades in the halls of the US Senate, Joe Biden was right on a foreign policy issue: the world’s worst characters will test Barack Obama when he becomes president.
As if the War on Terror weren’t enough, and the financial crisis wasn’t hard enough to solve, now we have Russia placing missiles on the border of Poland, President Karzai demanding we stop using airplanes in Afghanistan, and of course Osama has reared his ugly head and supposedly has a new video waiting in the wings for the new president.
To recap how we can expect Obama to respond, let’s look at his record:
When Russia invaded Georgia, Obama immediately stepped to the front and forcefully demanded that…uh, Georgia (?) allow cooler heads to prevail? While Russia was bombing civilians, setting fire to villages, and invading sovereign territory, Obama boldly told the victims to hush up. Classy.
Barack also happens to agree that America is indiscriminately bombing civilians in Afghanistan.
“We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there.”
Oh, and Sen. John Kerry is on the shortlist for Secretary of State. Enough said on that one. Surely, he will stand up to Karzai.
Lastly, we have evidence of how Obama has formerly dealt with terrorists. William Ayers.
