They can tell the guys a complete and utter fool and will single-handedly destroy America.
Frankly, I detect a patronizing undertone in a lot of the adulation that Obama has been getting in Europe. Kinda like the same enthusiastic reception Bono gets before people utterly ignore him.

Maybe they know he really doesn’t want to win the WOT. What WOT? That's been banned by Obama.
No surprisingly, nobody is anxious to commit their troops and treasure for Overseas Contingency Operations run by the likes of Obama. He will assure they become sure losers.
Who wants to join and be a part of those failures?

My point exactly.
They can see his double dealing as clearly as we can and they know it would be a lost cause.

Guess he didn’t put down the US as much as the Euros wanted....i.e. the “US is arrogant” remark. *rolls eyes*

Yep, W Bush got more support from the Europeans.
Also, the Europeans did not laugh at W Bush behind his back.
More change in the wrong direction. Here’s hoping for a return of the good old days under W Bush

Exactly as some point its all speechifying and no substance. People soon get tired of this souffle.
To: Steelfish
Yanno...he kind of went behind their backs to make an offer to Russia in return for help with Iran.
I wonder if they don’t trust him or something.
To: Steelfish
included a spellbinding performance in Strasbourg in which he offered the world a vision of a future free of nuclear weapons. Already been done. "On the Beach." And that's the only way you'll get there.

The US MSM is finding it very difficult today to mention this little Obama fiasco.

We'll it looks like Obama still has his magic touch.
***Just two other allies made firm offers of troops. Belgium offered to send 35 military trainers and Spain offered 12.***

Well noticed. This was on my mind as well.

How’s that surge working? Oh wait, we cannot say “surge.” Or terrorist, or terrorism, or...
Jungle is now rainforest.
Bums are now homeless.

More vaunted European LEADERSHIP! Hear! Hear!
This was so predictable.
The Europeans never lift a finger to help us, even after we spent 50 years protecting them from the USSR.
Euck Furope.
