That Pelosi's and Reid's hatred for the president forestalls the needed resolve to face down and if necessary smash in the teeth of Ahmedinajad and his puppets is risk-taking behavior elevated to the geopolitical level. Risks the Congress seems willing to take on our behalf. I recently watched Al-Jazeera from my hotel room in Budapest and to see the baying of Leahy and Dorgan with their requisite Arabic translation was shocking. Absolutely shocking to see how instantaneously our "loyal opposition" is rendered into sustenance for our enemies. If these are the faces that will support a next, Democrat president of the US, then we will experience what all appeasers must eventually experience: full-scale disaster. That the role of president has been degraded to such an extent -- to where a distaste for a personality trumps our very self-interest, that petty jealousy and a desire to get even is ascendent, is the hallmark of our very selfish times. |
