It’s so bad it’s not even a foreign policy speech.
It’s a trite mix of mumbo jumbo and warmed over conventional wisdom and political correctness. I can’t even tell the difference between this and a trite Obama speech, frankly. .. or Jimmy Carter.
And his speech is chock full of this nonsense:
“We have to understand that while educated Muslims in Europe may not be materially deprived, many of them feel socially and emotionally deprived by a lack of acceptance.”
Jimmy Carteresque BS. It’s their own ideology not the level of acceptance that drives their isolation. Typical Liberal pap.
“My goal in the Muslim world is to correctly calibrate a course between maintaining stability and promoting democracy.”
So the blood we shed pursuing Bush’s bold strategy to reformulate how we approach the MidEast will be squandered by a vacillating policy... Egads. And nothing at all serious about how to build up Iraq, win there, and move on to win the GWOT.
Awful. Awful Awful. How is it that every day I find yet more depressingly awful things about the awful Mike Huckabee.
I had already two days ago decided he was worse than Ron Paul. ... Now, he is decisively and definitely worse.
He may even be worse (gasp) than Hillary on foreign policy. She apparently will manage to have more balls than he will... Damn shame the “So Con” slot is being wasted on such a worthless contender!!!
(In my defense, I was surfing the web looking up the proper spelling for Padilla, Lindh, and naivety....)
