Has anyone noticed the Old Media making a big deal out of these pacts? No? That’s weird (Grist) Barack Obama is walking the climate-change talk — all around the world. Or at least endorsing climate-change pacts. More like that latter part, since no one has a larger “carbon footprint” than Mr. Obama. Heck, his footprint […]

One really has to wonder what the strategy from Team Obama is. They’ve sent UN Ambassador Samantha Power to talk to…the ultra far left Center For American Progress. They’re sending, outrageously, Susan “It’s The Video” Rice to Capital Hill to argue for strikes on September 11th. Sec Of State Kerry makes comments like Syria facing […]

Obviously, The Washington Post’s E.J. Dionne takes some swipes at the GOP for failing to be super enthusiastic for whatever-the-hell Obama’s Syria policy is (beyond throwing a few bombs and missiles): that’s expected. By throwing a vote to congress Obama was creating a situation where the GOP could be assaulted no matter what. Then we […]

In fact, they think we’ve become downright Doveish Hawkish GOP taking dovish stance on Syria Of all the unexpected turns in the Syria debate, one stands out most: The GOP, the party of a muscular national defense, has gone the way of the dove.

Anyone get the feeling that The Smartest Administration Evah!!!! is simply winging it based on college bull sessions? (Washington Examiner) Iran is enduring economic sanctions designed to slow the country’s nuclear weapons program, but President Obama’s team thought the regime might abandon dictator Bashar Assad over his use of chemical weapons in Syria’s civil war. […]

It would have been so much easier had Team Obama put together a plan to strike Syria immediately for crossing that red line which Everyone Else set, alas, that would have required ignoring the economy education fiscal sanity golf, vacations, and campaigning. And as the Syrian issue drags on into weeks since the use of […]

I might have expected this more from The UK Telegraph, not the vastly left leaning Guardian Barack Obama should practise what he preaches about climate change Grand speeches on fighting global warming are meaningless if US keeps blocking EU’s efforts to cut carbon emissions When President Barack Obama gave his long-awaited climate change speech in […]

How’s that working out? (via Ed Morrissey) (UK Independent) Libya has almost entirely stopped producing oil as the government loses control of much of the country to militia fighters. Mutinying security men have taken over oil ports on the Mediterranean and are seeking to sell crude oil on the black market. Ali Zeidan, Libya’s Prime […]

I’m not sure if the word “shameless” is strong enough. SCOAMF might work (CNN) President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the red line he outlined last year regarding Syria’s use of chemical weapons came from international treaties and past congressional action, and now it is time for the international community to make good on its […]
