Wordsmith: The problem is that the Obamatons don’t even believe in “tough talk.” It’s all about understanding our enemies point of view in a vain and misquided attempt to appease them.

Didn’t Obama say about the jew hating Khalidi that he gave Obama “consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases?”

One may assume that Khalidi re-educated Obama to a view more sympathetic to the Palestinians, despite their establishment of a culture of death which praises war, terrorism and bloodshed.

It’s doubtful that Obama would demand any accountability from the Palestinians while putting greater pressure on Israel to appease and compromise with the Pallys.

That’s not a recipe for progress in the Middle East peace process. It has been tried multiple times and has failed.

The thing is, Mike…it’s hardly “speaking softly”.

I think there is a difference between “diplomacy” and “appeasement”. And yes, sometimes, I do go in for the “tough talk”.

After 9/11, I think some of it was warranted. I think “you’re either with us, or against us” was largely misconstrued by a complicit media, all too willing to take it in a direction that wasn’t meant.

“Bush, himself, has said he regrets some of the “bring ‘im back, dead or alive” rhetoric of his early days in the post 9/11 aftermath.”

I don’t regret any of that.

What is so bad about wanting to defeat your enemies?

When you are dealing with Al Queda it’s kill or be killed. No diplomacy will solve the problem.

And diplomacy, even by our vaunted ever so sophisticated European allies hasn’t budged Iran’s intentions to build a bomb.

Diplomacy without the credible threat of military force is meaningless.

As T.R. said: “speak softly and carry a big stick”

As Obama would say it: “speak softly and throw the stick away.”

Most likely Chen would approve of that approach.

Right Chen? Do you support Obama’s stated goal to gut the U.S. military?

ChenZhen,

I think the “cowboy shoot from the hip” reputation of Bush has been largely overblown. From day one, he’s gone out of his way to make sure people understand he was not going to war against Islam itself. He doesn’t get credit for the diplomacy that has occurred, for getting allies to kill and capture al Qaeda operatives all over the world, for getting nations to cooperate in such things as the Swift program and rendition program (whether you feel it to be right or wrong, it wasn’t begun under his administration); forget that media outlets like the NYT and WaPo have undermined all of that, making our allies hesitant to cooperate with our mutual best interests, since the U.S. appears not to be able to keep secrets, thanks to media who do not put “Country First”, let alone common sense.

Bush, himself, has said he regrets some of the “bring ‘im back, dead or alive” rhetoric of his early days in the post 9/11 aftermath.

“I think its about time that everyone start recognizing that the correct answer lies somewhere in between, that’s all.”

That’s a total non answer devoid of anything specific.

But it sounds good.

Sort of like Obama. Empty and meaningless.

Mike-

It would appear to me that Chen buys the appeasement point of view that if we are just nicer to these terrorists they will not kill us. How many times has history shown that to be a tragic mistake which only results in increased violence, loss of human life and war?

Please, save the straw. I happen to think that there’s a hundred yards between “send ‘em to hell” and “appeasement”, and I think its about time that everyone start recognizing that the correct answer lies somewhere in between, that’s all.

Oh good grief “David.” You get the moonbat star award for working in more libtard talking points per comment than anyone this week (and that’s saying something).

And when you talk about “fearmongering… smears and lies” you are surely referring to the uninterupted campaign of hate, abuse and disinformation directed at the very people trying to save your worthless ass from being incinerated.

You know what you are?

@David101:

Ok seriously ENOUGH with the fear mongering.

Telling the truth is fear mongering now?

Its getting pathetic!

Yes, you’ve been pathetic since you showed up here with your, what is it, seven personalities?

I Personalty find it ammusing that you guys say that Osama Bin laden who wants The demorcrats to win.

Of course bin Laden wants the Dims to win (if he’s still alive that is). If the military of a foreign country were kicking your ass all over the desert and to the mountains and back for the last five years you’d want it to stop too.

When its the REPUBLICANS who have weakened our milatary {thanks to the war in Iraq}.

Really?

The US military is weakened because it has been put to work doing what it was designed, created, and built to do.

Yeah, that makes total sense.

Who let 9/11 happen and still 7 years later the republicans still HAVE YET to cacth Osama Bin Laden and Alqeada.

Let 9/11 happen?

Let it happen?

Clinton was in office for 8 years. The planning, plotting, and execution of the plan began long before Jan 2001. As much as you may wish you could blame 9/11 on President Bush, no soup for you.

Clinton had multiple opportunities to capture and/or kill bin Laden. In fact, bin Laden was offered to him by Sudan before he was expelled from their country.

Clinton passed.

Later Clinton had the opportunity to kill bin Laden when the CIA had his location pinned down.

Guess what, he passed.

He was too busy getting a Lewinsky to be really concerned with the security of the US.

OBL may or may not be dead. Regardless of the fate of that miserable sack of shit, Al Qaeda has been decimated. They have lost their fighters by the thousands. They are on the run and, considering what has not happened in the US since 9/11 their effectiveness has suffered as well.

Who instead of keeping their eye on the ball with Afganastan.

I guess you’re one of those people who feel that the fine men and women of the US military cannot do more than one thing at the time.

Study history much?

Obviously not.

You should do some reading about the involvement of the US military during WWI and WWII. You may just get your eyes opened.

The Republicans sent our troops to a country that HAD NOTHING TO DO with 9/11!!!!!

Nothing to do with 9/11,

Right.

You truly need to do some reading so that you can educate yourself. Currently you are opening your mouth and making it apparent to everyone what a fool you are.

On this blog alone there are volumes of information about 9/11 – Iraq – Al Qaeda – Hussein.

You should read it.

And we have accomplashed NOTHING in the country dispite spending TRILLIONS of dollars there and losing thousands of troops.

Accomplished nothing.

Hmmm…

I would say that the freedom of 40 plus million people is a significant accomplishment.

Through the brave service, and sometimes the ultimate sacrifice, of some of the finest men and women who have ever served our country, people who have never tasted freedom are now free.

The right to vote that you and I enjoy and will take part in on Tuesday is now extended to people in countries who NEVER had that right before.

That’s nothing you say?

I say you’re full of dog squeeze.

And after all that, Osama Bid Laden is still on the lose and Alqeada is now gaining strenth in the borders of Pakistain and Afganastan.

Again, we don’t know if OBL is still alive or not. His rotting corpse may never be found.

Enemy strength ebbs and flows in any armed conflict and is not something to be truly concerned with.

The US will be victorious as long as the defeatocrats don’t pull the troops out before the job is done.

And now yall are saying that the Alqeada and Osama Bin Laden want Obama to win??

Again, the enemy is not stupid. Of course they want a weaker leader as the head of the US.

They tried Clinton and found that nothing happened. OBL, because of Clinton’s lack of response, declared the US to be a paper tiger.

When they tried Bush they found out that the cowboy from Texas would not hesitate to kick their asses.

Now they want a weaker leader again.

It’s common sense on their parts. They want to be able to lick their wounds and restrengthen.

Dispite the fact that Obama wants to END THE WAR IN IRAQ!

And wants to put more troops in Afganastain and Pakistain border instead.

Were he KNOWS Osama Bin Laden and Alqeada are hiding and are ploting for ANOTHER terroist attack.

So he can track them down and make sure they NEVER strike again.

Obama will prematurely withdraw our troops and create havoc in the Middle East.

By doing so, the blood and treasure we have invested in that region will have been invested for naught.

Are you people even listening to yourselfs????

That’s a question you should ask of yourself.

Look, Come Nov. 4th America WILL pick Obama and the Democrats.

You can keep telling yourself that, but it won’t make it true.

You should do the same thing that Sky is doing and go get some beer to dull the pain.

You’re going to need it.
