Somewhere near Hainan, the USS Chung Hoon (at LEAST this one ship), an Arleigh Burke Class destroyer, equipped with the Aegis missile system, and with the firepower of several WW2 fleet aircraft carriers, is escorting the unarmed ocean research/intelligence vessel Impeccable after interference with her by Chinese vessels in international waters.
In our hemisphere this morning both Cuba and Venezuela have announced they are ready to accept the basing of TU-160 Black Jack intercontinental bomber, which can carry 15-20 AS-15, or KS-55 Sunburn missiles, and a panoply of smart gravity weapons. These planes could be in American airspace in minutes.
James Monroe comes to mind.
In Afghanistan the Taliban have reversed the actions of 2001, and NO it wasn't because of Iraq, it's because it's is a different place. A place that took 10-11 years to get the Soviets out. Soviets untrammeled by the fits of conscience and rules we have.
In Iraq a fragile near success still records suicide bombers as the jihadis watch Obama and his plans of a new American 'leadership' and 'cooperation' and 'respect'.
And the economic crisis, called dire and world ending (if we didn't listen to you...or GWB before you), every day by the new president as his minions face tax problems, attack republicans and radio personalities they hate, suddenly finds a newly confident Obama a day after his budget gets rammed down our throats in a transparent attempt to use FEAR to change America to something else, and in the background questions about the nature of his appointments and our closest ally in the middle east, and a vague sense that some kind of appeasement is under way.
In the meantime our very CLOSEST ally has a senior cabinet member express that in dealing with the Obama Admin, "there is no one there"
He now faces dwindling popularity, ENRAGED opposition, and greater polarization than even Mr. Bush faced.
You asked for this job.
Are you going to call for negotiations over what John Kennedy blockaded Cuba over? Will you say we cannot afford to bring on a confrontation now? Will you blame all this on the right? The Israel Lobby? Will you just call this help on patrols and non-basing as a canard for Americans to continue their sleepwalk?
You are being asked who you are every day you display the lack of firm resolve and willingness towards risk in our favor. This will accelerate as you delay and seek to make no decision your decision, just as you voted PRESENT so many times.
This will occur until someone steps across a line they don't believe you have drawn, and then we will have the end of this economic downturn in the same old way, because we will then need a draft, and a lot of materials which will be used up in the most consuming activity of all....war.
I was no wild defender of Bush.
But what's going on now is the express elevator to hell.
GOING DOWN!

Exactly right. AS President he is voting PRESENT. Jut as we said he would all along. Though there is no comfort inbeing right this time, because of what it will ultimately mean.
I've said it many times, both here and to my Obama supporting friends.
This man will get us all killed.
Great post, Epa.
And, I believe you are absolutely correct in saying that Obama's policies are ensuring war; an express elevator to hell.
I agree, great post Epa.
To answer the question, Who is Obama?
Obama is the answer to the white man's guilt, the payment for the black man's slavery, the muslim's door into the White House.
Those are the people who elected him.
But ultimately, he will be America's nightmare.
