#1 He's confused, I tell you! Befuddled. Astonished. This wasn't the way it was supposed to happen. He had to get control of the US first, then the rest of the world. These are unsettling developments!

Maybe he's consulting with Cheney?

#2 Hitch doesn't appear to think highly of our president's intelligence or character

I think that's unanimous here in R'bug, no?

#3 According to the comments to the article the little leftoids think that Obama is doing just great!! Wouldn't want to go all Bush now. After all it's not our business that thousands are dying.

Contemptible.

#5 The left are against the death penalty except for trying to remove a dictator.

Or if it is "inconvenient". As in, a fetus (especially if it is handicapped in some way), some old person who rudely refuses to die so assets can be passed on, etc.

#6 Is Barack Obama Secretly Swiss?
Dunno, but I'll bet they don't have a birth certificate for him, either.

#7 Team Obama knows that it is hard to "undo" doing something, and (I believe) they feel the collateral damage of civilian deaths is unfortunate, but hardly compeling.

0's response is typically professorial and sterile, giving the illusion of doing something while moon-walking through diplomacy.

Activity -vs- work and all that.

#8 Hitch doesn't appear to think highly of our president's intelligence or character.

I think that holds for Hitch's estimation of any recent (or near future) president. Washington might meet with his approval, though.

#9 "Hitch doesn't appear to think highly of our president's intelligence or character."

Mr. Hitchins can take a number and get in line to think that. :-(

#10 I think that holds for Hitch's estimation of any recent (or near future) president.

He approved of President George W. Bush against his natural left wing inclination, KBK, because President Bush fought the War on Terror instead of dithering. The attacks of 9/11 got Mr. Hitchens' attention.

#11 Its simple. Obama is not a leader. He is a follower by nature (going wherever the political machine puts him), and anti-military. So the responses he gives are exactly those of the career bureaucrats/diplomats at State, which means to dither, talk, etc., but not really do anything.
