#2 I don't think the Arab world responds to platitudes quite the way the liberal press does in the west.

We'll see.

#3 Even now, Islamic fascists are grinning and rubbing their hands.

If we ever neede proof that no matter what kind of education you have, being a leftist is proof positive of lack of intelligence and common sense, here it is.

#6 In a sense, he's right though. The Muslim world is their own enemy much more than anyone else.

Even fools say correct things out of their own ignorance, sometimes.

#9 Bush said basically the same thing with that "Islam is peace" bullshit. This won't change a thing. Muslim's are still their own worst enemy.

#13 Asked why Al Arabiya had been granted the president's first interview, an aide said: "We want to communicate directly to the entire world America's new foreign policy."

And the new foreign policy is different from the old how again? What a bunch of baloney. While the messenger is new, the message is more or less the same. I seriously doubt the new messenger will prove any more persuasive. I can only hope that all of this is part of a good faith effort on behalf of the O administration for when he decides to attack Iran to prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon, which my gut tells me he will (although my gut's track record isn't terribly impressive).

#15 He gave his first interview to an Islamic TV channel? It's a bit like a schoolteacher spending the first lesson of the term pleading with the disruptive kids at the back of the room to please behave because I'm a decent guy, not like your last teacher. It's easy to predict how this'll pan out, even though I doubt any one of us had a teacher who was actually that stupid...

#16 Asked why Al Arabiya had been granted the president's first interview, an aide said: "We want to communicate directly to the entire world America's new foreign policy."


But he sought a conciliatory tone throughout the interview, at one point avoiding even restating American policy, and his own platform, than an Iranian nuclear weapon is plainly unacceptable.


BO's silence or refusal to state clearly our policy is sending a clear message in my view, one that I don't like.

#17 Maybe he'll start selling Middle East dictators down the river like Carter did to the Shah. We all know how well that worked out.

#19 initial reports are that a lot of the muslim ruling class is happy

that may be because Obama didn't mention the word "democracy"

and he didn't threaten to reduce foreign aid which is a great source of relief to the people who are able to steal it
