#1 Versus

To wit,

TOPIX > WE HAVE TO BE THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BE THERE - THE LIMITS OF US ENGAGEMENT.

ARTIC = among other, the US has backed itself into a corner where it hseemingly has to care + respond to EVERY CORNER AROUND THE GLOBE DESPITE NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD IT. As a consequence of 9-11 + WOT + Global Economy [troubles], THE US NO LONGER HAS THE LUXURY OF NOT HAVING TO CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE REST OF THE WORLD.

* SAME > A KURDISH-ISRAELI ALLIANCE VERSUS AN ARAB-TURKISH ALLIANCE?

* SAME > {US SecState HILLARY] CLINTON RENEWS US CLAIMS ON FORMER SOVIET SPACE.

ARTIC = By HILLARY = USA demanding that Russ withdrawal all of its troops from various troubled former Soviet territories, now sovereign Countries, HILLARY has effec given RUSSIA = VLADVEDEV AN ULTIMATUM?

ABOVE > POST 9-11, THE US HAS ACQUIRED NEW INTERNATIONAL MILPOL "SPHERES OF INFLUENCE", OF WHICH ITS GREATEST "SPHERE" IS THE EARTH = WORLD ITSELF.

D *** NG IT, MORIARITY, CLEARLY THERE IS NO "OWG-NWO" NOR "WAR FOR OWG-NWO" + RELATED HERE - THE GOVT, ABSOLUTELY UNDENIABLY CATEGORICALLY UNCONDITIONALLY.....@ETC. DEMANDS YOU NEVER, NEVER, EVER E-V-A-R FORGET WHAT THEY OFFICIALLY NEVER TOLD YOU!

#3 > US on better terms with everyone: Gibbs

Apart from at least Britain and Israel (and probably secretly China)...

#4 The US has better relations with almost every nation on the planet

Let try something

The US has better relations with almost every Third World nation on the planet.

Now it works.

#7 What concrete positions/issues have been advanced by this administration? Sanctions on Iran from Russia that they can cheat on or break at will?? That's all we have to show for our shoddy treatment of Poland and the Czechs?

#9 The US has better relations with almost every Third World nation on the planet

Even the Third World countries have noticed that Eastern Europe was pegged to the Russian fence, that the Palestinians aren't getting what they were promised, how President Obama tried to rig things for his pets in Iraq and Afghanistan.

#10 Which "terms" does he have in mind?

Not the terms of trade: our trade deficit w China is soaring.

Not the terms of our relations with Russia: Putin and his thugs are on a roll, from Kiev to Tbilisi to Almaty and Bishkek.

Not the terms of our borrowing arrangements: for the first time anyone can remember, America's about to lose its top credit rating.

Not in terms of halting Iran's drive for nukes: it's now highly probable that Israel will have no choice but to strike Iran this year.

But hey, people love Barry's smile. They think he's nice (albeit pathetic).

#13 TW, they don't care (they see him as one of them---just like, ahem how shall I put it, I know 91% approval).

#14 g(r)omgoru, that 91% approval has dropped from 98% approval, if we are alluding to the same thing.
