It's about damn time that somebody had the balls to stand up and be brutally honest about what's happening in the Middle East.

You know, when I think foreign policy, I think a Kissinger fan and the Joker are at the top of my list. Right after the crazy homeless guy I see when I'm out walking the dog sometimes.

Uh.... First he claims that Obama screwed it up, and when pressed says "these bad things might happen."

That's a "schooling"? That's "telling it like it is", predicting something that Glenn "Crazy Caliphate Theory" Beck has been ranting about for months? He's no more of a prognosticator than I am. Sure, we have theories, and ideas of what might happen, and *if* the MB takes over in another 6 months then yes, it will look bad for Obama, but to come out and say for certain that things will or will not occur in the future is idiotic.

History has a little way of either proving the actions of politicians right, or proving them horribly, horribly wrong. Remember this?



Claiming to know what's going to happen 6 months from now just so you can criticize someone today is bloviating, plain and simple.

I hear all these folks saying that this was wrong, that was wrong... yet I have not heard a single person say what would have been "RIGHT" in these cases. Easy to play arm-chair quarterback!!

I'm guessing it's something along the lines of, "Why won't our illegitimate illegal communist nazi nagger who stole the White House kill MOAR MUSLIMS?"

This also misses the point. The bigger question we should be asking regading Egypt and Saudi Arabia and other assorted dictators is why we think it's ethical to prop up those despots in order to help fill our pocketbooks.

The arabs will always sell oil, it's all they've got.

The outrage is over why the US isn't scrambling to provide israel another skirt to cower behind.
