Northwest Indiana Discussion

Lets see how the empty suit and his teleprompter handle the Middle East now that he has a crisis to test his mettle.

Anybody placing any bets yet?

Don't forget, this instability in the Middle East originated under Jimmah Carter.

Oh really? Please enlighten us as to when and how this occurred. I can't wait to hear how a right-wing loser moron attempts to explain history.

Dear Stupid,

Have the events concerning the Shah of Iran and the Hostage Crisis gone down the old memory hole for you?

obviously...

The Jarhead is absolutely right sparks.

even the leftoids will admit it...until they rewrite history again that is.

and again

and again.

Ya know..maybe they already have, because I didn't think there was anyone stupid enough to post this.




of course we'd all love to hear your your version.

Come on fool, give us the Archie Bunker take...

Egyptian looters destroy 2,000-year-old mummies in bid to steal King Tut's treasures

Good thing I already went and saw it when it came to Chicago

What a nitwit.

Obama will go down in history as the president who lost Egypt
The street revolts in Tunisia and Egypt show that the United States can do very little to save its friends from the wrath of their citizens.

Jimmy Carter will go down in American history as "the president who lost Iran," which during his term went from being a major strategic ally of the United States to being the revolutionary Islamic Republic. Barack Obama will be remembered as the president who "lost" Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt, and during whose tenure America's alliances in the Middle East crumbled.

The superficial circumstances are similar. In both cases, a United States in financial crisis and after failed wars loses global influence under a leftist president whose good intentions are interpreted abroad as expressions of weakness. The results are reflected in the fall of regimes that were dependent on their relationship with Washington for survival, or in a change in their orientation, as with Ankara.

America's general weakness clearly affects its friends. But unlike Carter, who preached human rights even when it hurt allies, Obama sat on the fence and exercised caution. He neither embraced despised leaders nor evangelized for political freedom, for fear of undermining stability.
