Oh, not enough money.
He's telling us that he will agree to extortion.
Blame America first...no surprise there.
Wow, what an in depth interview that must have been! I hope that Zakaria was wearing his extra thick kneepads. After reading this Muslim puke in Newsweek for years, I'm sure he needed them.
There was jihad before there was an America.
All he needs is a white flag.
Most interesting.
So Saddam Hussein’s human shredding machines were our fault?
The gassing of the Khurds was our fault?
Sudan, our fault?
Zimbabwe, our fault?
On several occasions Obama has expressed exactly the same ideas as Wright, Obama just knows how to sneak them in slower.
Balderdash! Mama ‘Bama never “re”married, because Lolo Soetoro was her first and only husband.
"I don't think it's the only threat that we face."
So, who does Barak Hussein Obama mean when he says "we"?
Not Americans, apparently since his battle line is not between the free world and its enemies -- it is between the forces of "modernity" and those who refuse to accept his concept of what "modernity" means.
Of course he thinks jihad is America’s fault. Isn’t that what Jeremiah Wright told him every week in “church?”
I think his foreign policy is to talk our enemies to death.
He is so clueless, it’s painful.
Or maybe it isn’t cluelessness, it’s blaming America first for everything that goes wrong in the world. And some people want to elect this anti-American as president of the US?!
Well, he’s just saying what most liberals in America believe. To the left, the 911 attack was a stroke of well-deserved justice, like a bully getting punched in the nose. That’s why they have no enthusiasm for the war on terror. To them, the terrorists have a legitimate gripe and our role should be to listen and accomodate, not to fight. It’s the “root causes” thing.
I mean, my first memory was my mother coming to me and saying, "I've remarried this man from Indonesia, and we're moving to Jakarta on the other side of the world."
Whoa! This send up the red flags. Think back. What is your first memory? Dollars to donuts it's a fleeting, disconnected snap shot that took place about the age two or three, i.e. "I remember my dad coming down the stairs...","I remember a Christmas tree...", "I remember walking through some leaves..."
If OB says first memory is his mother saying "I've remarried and we're moving to Jakarta..." either he's a bold face lying, or he's admitting he was pretty far behind when it came to early childhood development.
What a choice.
Wow....I wonder if CNN's journalistic standards require any followup questions which will force candidates to get off rehearsed answers and actually justify their answers? It sure didn't happen in this interview.
How could someone major in INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS and not learn to speak at least ONE foreign language semi-fluently?
Islamic Jihad has a lot more to do with Leftist domestic and social policies, particularly the pervasive, inescapable public hypersexualization of everything, along with rampant promiscuity, perversion and permissiveness. The main connection to foreign policy has to do with the extreme weakness projected by the Clinton Administration as well as by the present Democrat party and liberal media positions favoring avoidance of conflict at any cost.
This stuff is not complicated or difficult to understand, and we HAVE TO explain it to the people around us, in person. When they hear it explained, they generally understand.
All of the things that he complains the Bush administration did wrong with Afghanistan, that we didn't finish the job when we had the Taliban and al Qaeda on the ropes, is exactly what he will do in Iraq. Now that it is beginning to look like we have the terrorists beat he will pull the troops out.
In a few of the gems of Obama wisdom:
We need to show leadership through consensus and through pulling people together wherever we can.
My point is this, that we should always strive to create genuine coalitions -- not coalitions that are based on us twisting arms, withholding goodies, ignoring legitimate concerns of other countries, but coalitions that are based on a set of mutual self-interests.
In a situation like Darfur, I think that the world has a self-interest in ensuring that genocide is not taking place on our watch.
Just like they did with Rawanda, the UN will be content to issue statements condemning the actions but when it comes to actually doing something about it there just isn't enough self-interest to send in the troops.
It takes a lot of arm twisting and withholding goodies to get other countries to do what is needed. If it was anything like this idiot thinks, the UN would be a great tool for keeping the world a place where free people can thrive and prosper. In reality, the self-interests of governments that rule the UN is to let the tyrants and terrorists kill whomever they please as long as they can continue to extract their own fortunes from their subjects in their own little corner of the world unmolested.
