re: #59 Bagua

So far, I see Obama ramping up the war in Afghanistan, holding the line in Iraq, tightening the leash on the Iranians, and now maintaining the Patriot Act to better protect the homeland.

So far so good Mr. President.

The only major problems I have with Obama’s foreign policy at this point are his positions on Israel. I think he’s pushing Israel into an untenable position with his continued refusal to face the Iranian issue realistically.

Israel’s going to have to choose at some point whether to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities, and Obama’s waffling on Iran may push them to do it sooner rather than later.

Who knows? Maybe that’s the plan.
