It's career ending to tell Obama something he doesn't want to hear.
How can they NOT get Putin???? He is (and always will be) KGB. He is a commie. I don’t care what G.W. thought of him, the man is evil.
Maintaining Ukrainian infependence was a simple diplomatic job until the Administration screwed it up. Now, because of their neglect and incompetence it's an impossible job.
Cable TV showed Gene Wilder and Richard Prior in “See No Evil, Hear No Evil” last week. There is a classic scene where Wilder tries to convince Prior that all people have to do is talk their problems out; i.e., the usual liberal view of things.
A fist fight breaks out between a cabbie and a passenger who is stiffing him. Wilder attempts to intervene and approaches them to “talk things out”. He was quite successful as the passenger was extremely polite and provided the required funds. He came back to Prior triumphant that his method had worked! Prior was dismissive.
What Wilder missed was that as he was approaching the combatants, the cabbie had latched a pair of pliers on the privates of the passenger. Thus, the passenger was agreeable to any suggestion. The facial expressions of the passenger were really convincing.
I took the whole scene to be a statement on how liberals are without a clue about confrontations.
“..how many collection resources we throw at Russia ..”
I believe I read articles from reliable authors who say CIA and military intelligence no longer use human resources, but rely on electronic eavesdropping and satellite imaging for their intelligence gathering.
Can we do a “Reset” on Obama? Please?
Obama has been President for over five years. We won WWII in less time. We elected a boob as our President. He is the Chief Executive of The Executive Branch. He is expected to come to this job with certain competencies. He should be able to plan and coordinate. He simply can’t do those things. We are in serious danger. Our ship of state is in a serious storm and the enemy is on the horizon. Our Captain is down below telling the cook to put less salt in the mush.
