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.
American career diplomats have been telling their masters in the Obama administration that every theater of American policy is in full-blown rout, forwarding to Washington the growing alarm of foreign leaders. In April 2008, for example, Saudi Arabia's envoy to the US Adel al-Jubeir told General David Petraeus that King Abdullah wanted the US "to cut off the head of the [Iranian] snake" and "recalled the king's frequent exhortations to the US to attack Iran and so put an end to its nuclear weapons program".
Afghani President Hamid Karzai warned the US that Pakistan was forcing Taliban militants to keep fighting rather than accept his peace offers. Pakistani government officials, other cables warn, might sell nuclear material to terrorists.

“Obama: What doesn’t he know, and when didn’t he know it?”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What he doesn’t know is danged near everything and when he didn’t know it is from the big bang until the present and continuing on to infinity.
“Obama impresses me even LESS than Alvin Greene does.”
AMEN...Why else would all of Obambie’s records be sequestered?
Without his teleprompter, he is a bumbling idiot and I have no doubt that he had to spend many hours just to learn how to read from one.
Didn’t nObama tell us that with him in charge, America would once again be respected in the diplomatic world?
Oh, how I long for the days of President Biden! Even “Plugs” couldn’t be this bad, could he???
Obama is surrounded by food tasters, internet guards and a cone of silence from military advisers. They will not allow him to see and hear the real voice of America.
All the behind the scenes day to day decisions that past Presidents have to go through especially the most secretive has been kept well aware from Obama, for security and legal reasoning.
Nobody wants a Muslim knowing what is really in Area 51, what is our most modern fighter or surveillance assets, not the launch codes for sure which is just for show.
Until the end of his natural term America has to put up with his attempts of control, his witless strategies and his personal failing ambitions, they give him some power to feed his narcissism.
But he cannot declare war, he cannot pardon anyone, his word has no honor. Poke at him, slap a “Kick Me” poster on his back, mock and deride him. He is toothless. And should he lash out it will be as an emotional temper tantrum.
An excellent and necessary analysis. Now, what to do about it?
When Lyndon Johnson and J Edgar Hoover faced this problem they took care of the details on Elm Street.
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?

Article, and comments, esp # 38.
[Thanks, Faith.]
Funny, I'd even rather see old Plugs Biden as President. At least I think of him as somebody who loves the country.
Obama vowed “TRANSPARENCY”!
Bwahahahahahaha
They wanted gays in the military, well they got the squealing little fudgepackers. Spilling their guts for the bad guys.
Treason used to be punishable by firing squad, let’s see if they actually execute this treasonous polesmoker. I seriously doubt it.
Biden is no better, no worse than 0bambi. He is a RAT, through and through. He exempliifies the noblesse oblige attitude so prevalent in Versailles on the Potomac.
Thanks for posting the article.
“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. “
These are State Department documents (emails, etc)
Who is Secretary of State?
Who is ‘revealed’ in these documents, and who is NOT.
The one who is NOT, is the one who leaked them.
Good point.
Interesting, thanks for posting
Still sad to see how many FReepers are in denial....still thinking Obama is just stupid. It’s so much easier to believe that than the truth. The truth is, he’s willful, intentional, and working his agenda.
He certainly is. He is carrying out his plan to destroy this nation since America's greatness is something he despises.
Obama: “We are going to fundamentally change America.”
Who can argue with the evidence of destruction we see each day?
A very interesting article.
The thing that makes him dangerous is that he believes he's an "intelligent guy".
Recall Reagan's observation: "It's not what liberals don't know that makes them dangerous, it's what they think they know that simply isn't so."
