Intelligent Diplomacy and Statesmanship- Obama For the Win

[cigdaze]

Surely you guys aren't implying that the Russians weren't taking Mrs. Clinton and her boss seriously...are you??


:willy_nilly::rofl::rofl:

LMAO...ya, I'm sure she had Putin trembling.

Oh, they are taking her alright


Russia and the United States have tentatively agreed to a weapons inspection program that would allow Russians to visit nuclear sites in America to count missiles and warheads.

The plan, which Fox News has learned was agreed to in principle during negotiations, would constitute the most intrusive weapons inspection program the U.S. has ever accepted.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who met with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said publicly Tuesday that the two nations have made "considerable" progress toward reaching agreement on a new strategic arms treaty.

The 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, expires in December and negotiators have been racing to reach agreement on a successor.

Clinton said the U.S. would be as transparent as possible.

"We want to ensure that every question that the Russian military or Russian government asks is answered," she said, calling missile defense "another area for deep cooperation between our countries."

I would have no idea......:sifone:

I'm not sure why Russian is an enemy we have to deal with right now, China is an enemy we have to deal with right now, Venezuela is an enemy we have to deal with right now, Cuba is an enemy we have to deal with right now, Iran is an enemy we have to deal with right now, North Korea is an enemy we have to deal with right now, etc.

Last time I checked even the best NFL team can only play one game at a time. And, usually, when you take your focus off the current game at hand and start concentrating on the next game, you usually lose the current game. Example: Invade Afghanistan, then focus on Iraq.

We have national security and foreign policy concerns regarding many countries, but let's not take our focus away from the wars at hand. The easiest way to demoralize your military is to set them up for likely failure. By worrying about Communists, Gays, the domestic War on Drugs, the unilateral global War on Terror, we are impuning the military's ability to win a major conflict.

And as we all know, there are no points for second place.

(Damn, I forgot to put something funny again.)

None of them have world domination on their list of things to do.

Well, there's some diplomacy and statesmanship for ya! Give them one thing: Balls!

We're obviously fvcked for the next 3 or so years, but hopefully one day we'll once again have some leadership with a little bit of courage and some good old testicular fortitude, because those qualities are seriously lacking right now. Enjoy the next few years folks, while we watch our fearless leader cower, grovel, apologize meanwhile drive the dollar into the ground, spread the wealth so thin that there will be few left who are worth a damn within our borders, and take, take take. Watch in amazement while the rest of the world mocks and belittles us, while we beg for a sanction, or permission to burn our own resources. Behold the power of cool, as we embarrass ourselves in feats of wondrous statesmanship befitting of a beggar in a country club. It's a dawn of a new age; some may even say an historic occasion.

Good stuff.

Well said.

Geez, Ted...
if ya google short+republican+wingnut+most+in+need+of+a+life does your name come up at the top of the results? :reddevil:

You sure are protective of Andrew Sullivan. Ted didn't attack you, yet you responded on Andrew Sullivan's behalf immediately. And nasty too...
Awwww... you were protecting his honor. That's sweet.
(cough, cough)

 

[LaughingCat]

Ya finally got something funny in again.....:sifone:

I liked that one too. My humor may normally be pathetic, but if you throw enough crap at the wall. . .

Speaking of Andrew Sullivan, was Jay with him on a national park beach earlier this summer when he was busted for smoking pot, but the US Attorney decided not to prosecute Andrew Sullivan (who wasn't a US citizen)?
Well... a "jay" was with him, anyway.

Maybe a pipe and some screeds.

Well, Reagan came in after carter and got things rolling, hopefully the next one after Obama can do the same. I have a feeling by that time whomever it is will be welcomed with open arms.

3 years, 98 days to go.

Always gotta make it personal huh Jay? Too bad, I figured you were making a little progress, no problem, we are all in agreement here, I will take my place and my life, you are consigned to yours. At least I know when the personal attacks start that I was right, and you, as usual, backed the wrong team.

Ted, your definition of progress is the last thing I need.

And personally, it seemed like a fairly ridiculous thing to do (your google search) - just so you could make another inane putdown.

Enjoy your life. :seeya:

 

[Ted]

Always do....
