Title: I wonder if he'll have to give it back...
Post by: Scout26 on August 27, 2014, 02:03:56 PM
The Peace Prize that is.  Apparently the "Leading from Behind" and "Don't Do Stupid Stuff", isn't working as Foreign Policy (if it ever was a policy).


So as pressure mounts to save the Yazidis on that mount from animals that make the Nazi's look all cute and cuddly, there's increasing pressure from members (and high ranking ones at that) of both parties to "Do Something".

 And yeah, it's easy to throw rocks from the outside, it's a lot harder to govern.

Do nothing long enough, under the rubric of "don't do stupid stuff", and you may find yourself with a limited array of unpalatable alternatives.

Why do some people still think Obama actually wants to act in the USA's best interests?   ???

Well I hear Martha's Vineyard has been very peaceful. Maybe he just needs to spend more time in ukrainistan or gazasyria or wherever.

If nothing else, his Secret Service detail might spend less time getting smashed and scamming local hookers.
