Wow, so much stuff to talk about. First, let's all reflect on the following letters: WWPD That's right, Obie's apparent foreign policy advisor has stated that an Obama foreign policy would be based on the taos of Pooh: That is:

Richard Danzig, who served as Navy Secretary under President Clinton and is tipped to become National Security Adviser in an Obama White House, told a major foreign policy conference in Washington that the future of US strategy in the war on terrorism should follow a lesson from the pages of Winnie the Pooh, which can be shortened to: if it is causing you too much pain, try something else.

Mr Danzig told the Centre for New American Security: “Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.”

GREAT! Good to know. Does it matter to the Ozombies?


















No, of course not.

Next question, how fast is Obama willing to lose the war? Noone knows. Apparently, Iraq is super special. Unlike Kosovo, Germany, Japan, Korea, and I dunno, Cuba, we can't ever never have a base or troops over there. Oh sure, he promises to leave and to come back any time the bad guys come back (i.e., when we leave), but not to actually maintain a presence there over a skeleton crew necessary to protect an ambassador or something.

Interestingly enough, Obama, his website, his supporters all have different ideas of what his policy on losing the war would actually be were God to forsake us and allow his presidency. If you follow the link, you will find analysis of several Obama flacks each showing the truth to the idea that Obama is a blank slate upon whom other people place their political ideas.

So who knows. I know I am not going to vote for Obie. I was promised a post-racial, pragmatist with god-like levels of empathy and strategery. So far, all I see is a guy who hates America. hates crackers. Someone who has no idea what to do with the country, someone whose idea of debating McCain is to call him old. And, oh God, yeah, a perfect Ivory-tower cluelessness about the world and capitalism. But he can sure read other people's speeches well.
