Is this wise man the same guy who can't remember where he was, or what he was doing, on the morning of September 11, 2001?

This man expects me to respect his foreign policies...regarding Afghanistan?

(I saw you too, there, Rummy...I have not forgotten)

You know, it's a wonderful thing how we can keep that piece of shit Cheney alive for maybe...the 50 years behind bars that he deserves.

I said that.

What flag is that behind him?

Seems Obama will have some tough decisions to make very soon..

Appease the people, or appease the Neocons/Military Industrial Complex.

Cheney doesn't seem like the kind of guy you'd want to piss off, though.

Let's hope Obama remembers that he's now a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Wait. Obama has policies? What are they? Letting unemployment reach 25%? Hiring more maoists and tax cheats for his cabal of czars? Foisting an unworkable and expensive health care scheme? Sinking the US dollar to Plutonian levels? Waiting until an Iranian nuke hits an aircraft carrier?

>> ^EndAll:
What flag is that behind him?

I suspect the stage he's on has the flags for each branch of the armed services. The white one behind him appears to be the Coast Guard's flag, with the Navy's to the right, and the Marines' flag just barely poking into frame.

Let's hope Obama remembers that he's now a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Amen to that. Make sure to contact the White House to let them know how you feel, too.

We're all lucky this guy's not still calling the shots.

To be honest he's right on dithering, but that's not entirely Obama's fault. Part of the problem has been McChrystal leaked report on Afghanistan which confronted him with being forced to make an immediate decision or appearing to waver. The fraudulent elections have also made committing more troops before the debacle is resolved unfeasible and would have appeared as if he was propping up a pro-US autocratic regime. Now that Karzai has agreed to a second round recount, and there exists the potential for a power sharing agreement eventuating with Abdullah, the symbolic gesture of committing more troops becomes more genuine, as well as politically plausible at home.

He's blatantly wrong on the missile shield though. The chance of Russia, particularly given how much of a hit its economy took from the global economic downturn, of making any big strides into Eastern Europe are slim. After all, it's actions into Georgia while disproportionate were arguably provoked. It's clear the main purpose of them from the start was to protect against the threat of a nuclear Iran. But then, the process of setting up this missile shield angered Russia, which then caused it become closer both economically in their willingness to help build nuclear reactors and in providing valuable VETO votes against further sanctions through the UN, which formed a catch 22. Especially considering the unproven nature of the missile shields, and the value of Russia as an ally versus slightly thornier relationships between the US and Eastern Europe, it seems that dismantling them was easily the best option considering the downsides of both choices.
