#1 I'm pretty sure the usual suspects at State didn't have to be dragged into this position. The policy offices at State make themselves good places to look at when the real budget cuts start to be implemented.

#2 Really Bambi. You do know how to piss off your closest friends and look weak to your enemies, don't ya?

#3 The O administration weighs the values of each nation's government and after careful analysis, always sides with the dictatorial one.

In the end, our previous allies are pi$$ed off at the US and our enemies see the US as dithering and weak.

This action is either naive and stupid, or done by design. Or some of both. You be the judge.

#4 I suppose the fact that the Faulkland Islanders are British Subjects and don't want to be Argentinian is irrelevant to The Once.

#5 Consider our very strategic base on Diego Garcia. This is leased from the UK with renewal coming up in 2016. Renewal requires UK agreement.

#6 What does he care, KBK? According to Sen. Franken, he's not going to be president in 2016.

#7 If O'Bumble keeps this sh$$ up, he may find an SAS team in his bedroom some morning, much like Osama found SEALS in his. Does this man have ANY morals or common sense? He needs to be hounded out of office tomorrow, along with Biden, Hitlery, and his many, many MANY Leftist "Czars" and camp followers. He's an utter disaster for the US and the Free World.

#8 Old Patriot, unfortunately he is the product of 70 years of leftist rot. There is still a good percentage of our nation that supports this clown because they simply have been trained to think that war is peace, love is hate and slavery is freedom.

He is exactly what the rest of the world needs to see what a disaster the liberal-socialist groupthink is. I only hope there are enough freedom loving people left to stop this slide into insanity and slavery.

#9 What decision has this man made that is correct? NONE.

#10 Well; now the bounder has gone too far. I shall have to have a word with him.

#11 Shouldn't have made fun of him over the queen toast---he's very sensitive.

#12 You know that picture (from Stargate-0SG1) and the character (Apophis) characterizes Obama exactly:

Arrogant

Demanding

Thinks everyone should view them as a 'god' - incapable in making a mistake.

Has a lot of followers (in life and the MSM) who actually think of him as a 'god'.

Sometimes appears to really think of himself as a god.

#13 Looks a bit like him, too.

#14 On the other hand, our allies should be delighted to see him go and might even recognize a conservative cowboy might not be so bad.

#15 And finally the mind control device would explain a lot about the last four years or so. "You are feeling hopier and changier...."
