The lunatic who thinks he's Barack Obama
Asia Times ^ | 11-30-10

Posted on 11/30/2010 5:26:40 AM PST by SJackson

Napoleon was a lunatic who thought he was Napoleon, and the joke applies to the 44th United States president with a vengeance. What doesn't the president know, and when didn't he know it? American foreign policy turned delusional when Barack Obama took office, and the latest batch of leaks suggest that the main source of the delusion is sitting in the Oval Office.

From the first batch of headlines there is little in WikiLeaks' 250,000 classified diplomatic cables that a curious surfer would not have known from the Internet. We are shocked - shocked - to discover that the Arab Gulf states favor an invasion of Iran; that members of the Saudi royal family fund terrorism; that Pakistan might sell nuclear material to malefactors; that Saudi Arabia will try to acquire nuclear weapons if Iran does; that Israel has been itching for an air strike against Iran's nuclear facilities; that the Russian government makes use of the Russian mob; that Turkish

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan tilts towards radical Islam; or that Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi mixes politics and business.

My question is: WHY does the U.S. Department of Energy/Ad Council have an Ad on Asia Times? Does that make any sense?

It wouldn’t surprise me if someone in obama’s white house didn’t leak that information. We all know obama’s goal is to destroy our America.

Guess I messed up posting the ad image “in-line”, it was quickly edited out. I did not know there was a problem with a Department of Energy Ad, but never thought about an issue with “Asia Times” since they were hosting the Ad.

Now the same question? Why is an Ad Council/Dept. of Energy Ad placed on Asia Times? (Remember the “Ad Council” phrase , “this message has been brought to you by this station and the Ad Council”)

I know I was shocked to find out that North Korea supplied nuclear material to Iran. Absolutely shocking!!! I still cannot believe that the Saudi’s want us to attack Iran. Another blockbuster.

>>>My question is: WHY does the U.S. Department of Energy/Ad Council have an Ad on Asia Times? Does that make any sense?<<<

When I clicked on the link, there was an advertisement for working at the IRS.

My guess is that better educated folks are reading columns at the Asia Times, and the ads are targeting them. The demographic would fit.

Hey, Obama needs more federal drones for his empire-building scheme.
