Even if it isn't a complete sentence ...

Sorry I'm no English major. But I am confused. The statement has a subject (Barack Obama aka Barry Sotero) and a double predicate (was escorted, extricating) one for the independent clause and one for the dependent clause, even two indirect objects (Indonesia, his home country). While I agree a semicolon after Indonesia was inadvertently omitted it seems to this public school educated hack that it contains all the necessary elements of a sentence, just not punctuated correctly. But maybe I'm just being petty.

If you think that one’s the most stupid, then you’ve clearly never seen:

Emordnilap doog a ton si w is not a good palindrome.

Please note, the “w” is very important to the intellectual impact of the sentence.

Great quote from C.S. Lewis. And it captures what is so wrong with western civilization in spades.

In your sentence, who is doing the extricating?

The sentence doesn’t indicate who is escorting him either, is that a problem? In other words there is an implication that there is that both an escorting agent and an extraditing authority. Seriously, I have two graduate degrees (neither in a liberal art) and I do not know what you getting at.
