Don't blame me, I voted for Ron Paul.

...Back then, Obama was touting as authoritative the NIE's finding that "Iran halted its nuclear weapon development program four years ago." Yesterday, with no explanation, he embraced the opposite of the NIE's finding and claimed that they were still pursuing nuclear weapons...

It is easy to criticize the Establishment until you are part of it. Then they own you. Obama has been given his orders.

and as explained in this little missive below, America is being royally duped into pursuing Israel's territorial ambitions. or is that Bin Ladens ambitions?

Michael Scheuer put it well in the opening paragraph of his book, Imperial Hubris:

"As I complete this book, U.S., British, and other coalition forces are trying to govern apparently ungovernable postwar states in Afghanistan and Iraq, while simultaneously fighting growing Islamist insurgencies in each – a state of affairs our leaders call victory. In conducting these activities, and the conventional military campaigns preceding them, U.S. forces and policies are completing the radicalization of the Islamic world, something Osama bin Laden has been trying to do with substantial but incomplete success since the early 1990s. As a result, I think it fair to conclude that the United States of America remains bin Laden's only indispensable ally."

As Forrest Gump said, "Stoopid is as stoopid does."

After the historic and beautifully executed night in Grant Park (where and when Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech), in addition to probable exhaustion from a two year campaign, and the psychological and emotional impact from the realization of winning the presidential election...

immediately after being "briefed", he seemed to have aged about ten years.

Perhaps that is because he now knows many realities for some less than popular and seemingly sense-less and irresponsible actions of the last eight years.

Thinking and knowing are often quite different.

Maybe there has been a check on reality.

" ... we have a situation in which not only is Iran exporting terrorism through Hamas, through Hezbollah, ..." - Obama

Aside from the nuclear weapon fabrication, does anyone recall the McCain kerfluffel that confused Iranian Shiites with Sunni el Qaeda?

Obama is infected!

Hamas is Sunni, which means they have no affection for Shiite Iran. If anything, they are aligned with Saudi Arabian and Egyptian Sunnis, the breeding ground for al Qaeda.

Until a decade ago, Iran did have military advisors assisting Hezbollah. But, there's no evidence that they have exported terrorism - or anything else - to Gaza.

McCain was "called out" on his error. Obama needs to be purged of the McCain ignorance infection.
