#3 I could ask why _you_ hate Iranians so much, Plays4Keeps, that you want the US to engage with the people who treat the entire country as their property?

#5 The phrase Ive heard repeated is more even-handed in our mid-East dealings. Right. If we were just more fair and didnt always side with Isreal. I posted (elsewhere) recently that Israel had a right to defend itself. An extreme liberal told me I believed the FALSEHOOD that Palestine was a threat to Israel. I responded simply that if my neighbor shoots at me, they are a threat. At least I havent seen any Obama signs that read Long Live the King. My prayers go out to this man. I may not have voted for him, but hes my President and to say he has a tough road ahead is the understatement of the year.

So yawl should just shut up and get the popcorn.

Be a good gentleman now and run along quietly to "elsewhere."

#7 So yawl should just shut up and get the popcorn.

An open forum governed by well reasoned discourse is not the place to tell people to shut up.

At the moment, you are on very thin ice. I suggest you adjust your manner of engaging in the issues here or you will leave.

#10 You lads are missing the boat on Barry. He's dumb like a fox, a one man Freedom Bureau if you will. The pursuit of a "level playing" field, the full enactment of liberation theology and reparations continues at a record pace.

Change is coming! Don't be alarmed at future initiatives such as full amnesty and voting integration of illegal aliens, an executive order banning capital punishment, laws against assembly aka tea parties, cross-border divisions of the south and west into federal military "civil defense" districts, 2nd Amendment restrictions, licensing, extended waiting periods, etc, Federal integration of California and New York employees, Obama banking holidays, the emptying of the oppressed from Federal prisons, the renaming of an aircraft carrier or two, a redesigning of the flag, an executive order approving duel citizenship.

#11 They are discounting the latest anti-American rhetoric from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad isn't the decision-maker on foreign policy and defense, but he has the backing of those who do. His comments might be for "domestic content", but what if the Obama administration is projecting? The question then becomes, "at what point do you stop discounting the rhetoric?" After 2-3 years in fruitless pursuit of 'talks'?

#12 2-3 years of "talks" while they grind down freedom, and build weapons, and continue to call for the destruction of other nations...

Yes, Obama is a fucking idiot to believe the leopard will change its spots. Its his unbounded (and unwarranted) narcissism and arrogance that are leading him to disaster.

#14 A pitch man, doesn't come up with the products but has some leeway on how to sell them.

#15 Its helpful to start with the premise that nearly everything Obama has accomplished has come through misdirection. Even as narcissistic as he is its doubtful that he even believes Tehran will be persuaded by his charm. But that was never the goal! His objective is to persuade Europe/UN for tougher sanctions.

#16 Folks, I've come to the realization that Zero doesn't really care about foreign policy at all. Oh sure, he will take easy victories and make lots of "third way" noise about dialogue and relationships, but really, all foreign policy is to him is a toll to divert the focus and energy of the conservative forces in America from his primary focus, the domestic agenda. Cap and trade is looming because we all got sucked into Iran watching and he got Pelosi to slep on the gas and jam the bill through. Wehn momentum faltered, he worked the Hill personally. That he twisted a number of arms fatally for the mide-term elections isn't important to him. His agenda is exactly what Besoeker said: "The pursuit of a "level playing" field, the full enactment of liberation theology and reparations continues at a record pace".
What is is very good at is misdirection, triangulation, and deceit. He says things that sound ok, and acts differently,, more radically, and then says simple falsehoods about what he did and why.
This man is on pace to do more damage to America than anyone ever imagined. At his core, he and his hate this nation, and want to change it forever, and punish many of us in the process.
A lifetime of resentments has taught him how to play majority America, even as he conspires to destroy it's prosperity.

#18 I've come to the realization that Zero doesn't really care about foreign policy at all.

Might be true, and it would make him the anti-Nixon: Nixon never cared about domestic policy at all, seeing the job of President exclusively as managing foreign policy. Nixon would give the Congress whatever it wanted on the domestic side as long as it left him alone to pursue his foreign affairs agenda.
