Jun 22, 2009 06:01

The North Korean freighter Kang Nam is steaming toward Myanmar (Burma), cargo unknown. America suspects that she's carrying missiles with which to arm Burma's renegade military regime.

I roll my eyes every time I hear Obama say, "Let's be clear . . ."

Yes, it seems 1 is most likely. It also doesn't require Obama to give up any more of his anti-war leverage cards.

Of course, it does mean the proliferation of WMD to Terrorist States worldwide. But hey, maybe Obama has come to the realization that he's going to be a one-term President, and having practically no patriotism or even basic human decency he figure apres moi, le deluge to be sound political strategy?

I just wonder does Obama know how big of a fuck up he is? I mean is he completely clueless sitting there in the whitehouse with no idea how bad he is? Does he actually believe the crap he spouts? Or is he sitting there shivering in pure terror as he tries to decide what to do next?

...The mainstream media observes that he's Gandhi.
...The mainstream media observes that he's Alexander.
...The mainstream media observes that he's Metternich. Or they would if they knew who the hell was Metternich.
...The mainstream media observe that he's Churchill.

And in any case, the mainstream media observe that He's their Edward Cullen (sparkle sparkle sparkle).

... What will we do when North Korea really has a regiment or so of functional nuclear missiles?

As Slow Joe Biden put it, "Have FAITH FAITH FAITH in The One."
