"The president who ran against "unilateralism" in the 2008 campaign has worse relations overall with American allies than George W. Bush did in his second term."

guy is a hack. I remember when my old company hired a new IT director. He was previously an HR director for another company...when asked why he was hired (since he has no IT experience) ... so that he could build a better cohesive team that was happy to come to work.

He lasted about three months.

Why you ask???

Didn't know what the hell he was talking about ( no experience, no leadership, nothing was accomplished). Everyone liked his friendly attitude though. Obama is pure FAIL.

Maybe Bush wasn't loved by all the squishy socialists of the world, but at least the bullies had to give us some degree of respect.  Under this halfrican, even that is in great jeopardy.

That is some thing "the world" knows about Israel they will back up
their words and actions. Used to be that way with the U S but or
president has told the world that we would rather kiss butt than stand up
The good General may have been told to say what he said.

Anybody notice in the article who Obama is courting instead of our allies? He's even turned his back on Asia which our economy is dependent on it's scary. Petraeus has been staring to long at the fire; he's a 1 trick pony now. Don't get me wrong, he's the right pony for the race he's in. But he lacks the larger perspective.

A General is going to say what ever his boss tells him to say, his career depends on it.
   Just ask Douglas Mc Arthur.

Since the end of WWII, the Presidents & Generals have been taught to fight "police actions", not win wars. They have lost the concept of winning wars, and bow to the POLITICS of the politicians.

TM7 +1, TeamNelson +1. Israel slapped Bidden on the side of his head by announcing building more units while under the pretense of negotiating for peace. The world blinked on that one.
China is upset enough with Obama that they are dumping Billions of US treasuries. This president just doesn't get it !   He can't be that stupid. Bankrupting the US with his health plan.  UNLESS, he has a hidden agenda.  Lots to think about here. Soros One World Governemnt controlled by the elite, through the UN. Hmmm...

Yeah, what's this crap about Israel should be bending over in an effort to work for peace?  Israel is never going to get any peace from the likes of the Palestinians, or the Iranians and probably not from any other musslims.  They should tell the Palestinians to go to hell and that they would be more than happy to help them get there.
