President Obama got high praise from Jimmy Carter former national security adviser on his comprehension of foreign policy.
Still, Zbigniew Brzezinski had some words of caution for the current commander in chief about his meeting next week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying Obama let himself be humiliated last time Bibi visited.
Prior to the elections, theyll be tempted to strike, Brzezinski said of Israeli action toward Irans nuclear program on CNNs Fareed Zakaria GPS Sunday. And this is why I think the president, when he talks on to Netanyahu on March 5th, might take into account the fact that, first of all, he was humiliated the last time Netanyahu was around, and the president of the United States shouldnt be so humiliated, and that he represents the American national interests.
Zakaria noted that Brzezinski has given Obama sort of a mixed grade through his tenure.
My view, however, is the following: one, he really understands the world better than any other politician, Brzezinski said. And I wouldnt even waste time comparing him to what we hear from the Republican candidates for presidency, because thats so unrealistic and so primitive that its embarrassing.
He questioned whether Obama has the self-confidence to use that grand understanding well, saying of the Mideast peace process, When push came to shove, he didnt try.
But Brzezinski said he would support Obamas re-election without question this year.
I mean, look at those Republican debates. I must say I am literally I literally feel embarrassed as an American when I see those people orate, he said. One of them sounds like a medieval Savonarola. Another one is trying to explain why he has some of his wealth located in the Cayman Islands. And someone else would go back to 1780. And then there is someone who is using his credentials as a repudiated speaker of the Congress to be president. I mean, this is just embarrassing.
Barry doesn’t understand that we don’t want to be like the rest of the world and he is trying to take us there!
Right - this about a guy whose sophistication in foreign policy takes the level of giving the Russkies a “reset button”, insulting Sarkozy at the birth of a child, and embarrassing the Brits with a stupid CD (figuratively) taped to the bottom of their bust of Churchill.
Sorry, but his knowledge of world affairs is right there with his tire-pressure gauge / gasoline from algae knowledge of energy policy.
But if being bowed to by a poser who thinks he’s God’s gift to humanity is your cup of tea, Obama is tough to beat.
That comment is as pathetic as it is insulting. What a total jerk. The middle east is as big a mess as it is today because of the failed policies of the Carter administration, which this jerk advised. How can a nation that gave us Lech Walesa also give us this jerk?
And with these remarks, we understand Brzezinski well enough to know he is a socialist hack who is so full of himself it comes out his nose.
Strange that we still don't know if Obama took a class with Brzezinski at Columbia.
He’s probably still pissed that Poland didn’t join the anti-Comintern Pact
No doubt this man’s career was a failure but his remarks about Israel give us a good idea on Obama’s evolving policy. The Democrats have concluded that a war with Iran is the most significant threat to Obama’s reelection chances. If it goes badly, (significant causalities, loss of ships or failure to achieve strategic goals), Obama will lose. Therefore Obama has been leaking information that Iran really has not decided to build nuclear weapons and behind the scenes is doing all they can to restrain Israel. Obama wants no part of a shooting war. The big question is will Bibi accept restraint?
Don’t forget that idiot giving up the Panama Canal.
And now, in lecture circuit retirement, he tries to join every SPECTRE-like organization of internationalist conspiricists, supervillains, Illuminati, etc., which are populated by the same small group of egotistical failures, like Henry Kissinger.
*******
Peanut hay...??
justa guess---
Zhhhhbiiggg needs to take the same advice ev1 keeps giving his former boss....
To wit: SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE!
He joins his daughter in the Brain Dead Club
Don’t forget this imbecile gave away the Panama Canal too.
A leftist praising a Marxist........priceless.
I hope this doesn’t sound like a Polish joke or a put down of all things Polish, but the older he gets, it seems Zbig’s native Polish anti-Semitism becomes apparent.
Only in Brezinski’s twisted world view was the one humiliated by Netanyahu. I think Netanyahu and most of Israel felt humiliated after the childish crap obama served up.
Zbig’s approval is a kiss of death.
Only in Brezinski’s twisted world view was the one humiliated by Netanyahu. I think Netanyahu and most of Israel felt humiliated after the childish crap obama served up.
She looks utterly pained whenever someone criticizes Obama. Her brother was also recently appointed as the ambassador to Sweden, so any criticizing is NOT going to happen.
