Obama is doing precisely what the Clintons would have done—treat this whole “war on terror” thing like it was a one-time event done by a few ne’er do wells. No need to invade Iraq or even Afghanistan, we could have negotiated to round up a couple of dozen “extremists” who in no way reflect the feelings of a large group of people, and put them in an American prison, and everything would have worked out so much better. Saddam would still rule Iraq, the Taliban would still rule Afghanistan, and the world would love us.
That’s how Obama sees the world. He thinks people are all the same, and we just have to hang out, have some drinks and smokes, and settle our differences, shouldn’t take more than a few hours.
He's right! Us taxpayers should spring for Gold Flakes Supreme or Chopin vodka cocktails, a few slabs of Wagyu, and some packs of Davidoff Magnum Supreme Virginias every time there's crossness between nations, and Our Dear Leader will be able to smooth things over in a jiffy!
That commoner Bush was so pedestrian...
