A cast of hundreds: Who isn’t an Obama foreign policy adviser?!
So Barack Obama has 300 foreign policy advisers.
300.
That’s quite a carbon footprint. But he needs that many–not just to compensate for his complete lack of foreign policy chops, but because he throws so many of his advisers and acolytes off the bus each week. Gotta have padding.
Jennifer Rubin points out that the man who subscribes to the Winnie the Pooh School of Foreign Policy is on the list and adds:
Most troubling is the possibility that the performance of the campaign’s foreign policy apparatus is a preview of the Obama administration’s foreign policy apparatus. There are apparently hundreds (if not thousands) of folks waiting to join the State and Defense Departments who hold beliefs that defy evidence and logic. They honestly believe that Iraq is unimportant, unconditional direct talks with Iran will unlock the promise of world peace, we can talk up protectionism at home without scaring our trading partners, and the less input from military commanders in war zones the better.
Take your pick as to which theory makes the most sense. But 300? I guess it takes a lot of people to script a foreign trip so tightly that there is no room for a gaffe.
To quote from one of the Obama camp’s favorite foreign policy texts, “Pooh’s Little Instruction Book:” “Those who are clever, who have a brain, never understand anything.”

Whitehouse publicizes that
Osama’sObama’s plan is approved by Iraqi Prime Minister.And pocket protector makes his predictably lame appearance with his junior high school insults and his Yugo level intellect. Chap then takes his measure, finds him lacking and proceeds to kick his former body builder ass up and down this thread. You’re now “White Goodman” to me seige.
dental plan dakine said:
You’re a miserable prick dak why don’t you get that amazing wife of yours to show you some attention before I show her some attention. Maybe you’d like to confer with your partners so you can dredge up some more hollow man insults, I don’t want to get your hamster wheel spinning to fast freak. You’re just a mean spirited scumbag and you’re less than human. I wouldn’t even piss on you if you were in fire kid.
Its funny dakine. Seige and I were actually having a reasonable conversation about Obama and his promise to go into Pakistan without permission if necessary (Kumbaya thread). He was being civil and coherent. I kept thinking “This is not he undrseige I knew.”
And then we go on here and rather than admit being wrong on what was 1) not really his battle and 2) what was not really all that interesting a discussion, he gets all defensive and starts spewing profanity.
Which makes me wonder…why DID he change his name, do you think?
Was he finally shamed from his lack of spelling ability or do you think he got banned or chastized from a mod and was forced to reregister under a different name?
Inquiring minds want to know.
But I LOOOVE how the rudest, most profane person on this site thinks it necessary to tell ME I am being a “<> to everyone on the board.”
No, seige/goldwater. I actually get along with most everyone here. Just not the kind that spew your filth. There was a time, I think, when I was a lot more confrontational and sometimes mean and unnecessarily rude, I will admit. But I adjusted my attitue, realized this is just a freakin’ comments section and lightened up. Didn’t change my ideas, just my tone. Made me a lot more popular here.
Might wanna try the same, buddy.
Hmmmm. Specious.
Wow, all I can say is life to short to be so serious.
And angry.
Nothing like a bunch of Clinton has-beens advising the Messiah-of-Change about foreign policy. It’s not as if they got it right when they advised Clinton. So BO will be the Clinton 3rd term without the blue dress. Whoopeeeee!
I mentioned no names, the 3 kinds of people video was not meant as a criticism it was meant to add some humor to a vicious conversation, and maybe calm down those who were involved, don’t assume I was’nt including all parties.
With all due respect, Blind, Mule, the “viciousness” really seemed to be concentrated on one side.
And was that video from Team America?
One of those movies I have never seen that everyone references and I kinda have to nod like I know it.
Used to be the case with Office Space, but fortunately remedied that.
Not looking to assign blame. just sayin, some people take life way to serious.
Yes it is and I though it was one of the funniest parts of the whole movie.
Office space also a funny movie. As you may have noticed by some of my post’s I love to laugh, I find humor in a whole lot of stuff.

Specious. You know that word Michelle Malkin herself used to describe you. I must say it’s quite an honor you hold you being excoriated by her. You might have missed that day, maybe you were staring in the mirror that day stroking your ego.
My profanity is nothing when it comes to your abhorrent ego chap.
seige, I mean pocket protector, I mean White, you sound like a petulant child. Let me guess. Bullied as a kid? Ate paint chips as a toddler? Parents didn’t hug you? Small package? Too many steroids? All of the above? Hint: know who you’re dealing with before you threaten someone over the internet or make comments about a dude’s wife. You’re not as anonymous as you think…know what I mean tool?
Mule, you’re right. Life is way too short, but I’m not going to let a vacuous buffoon like seige (you know him as Goldwater Knight) get away with his ridiculousness. He’s embarrassing.
Chap, roger that. BTW, Office Space has got to be a top 5 comedy of all time…classic.
Apparently I’m dealing with some old clown who thinks he’s somebody. You got dice to roll then roll them otherwise get off my back dumb prick.
Wow, Seige…
Kinda stalkerish….I kinda remembered the post (regarding something I said about assasination chic), but boy you seem to have it commited to memory. Am I going to have to get a TRO against you?
You see Seige, and this really is telling with respect to your pathology, MM called my STATEMENT specious. Not ME. Unlike others..ahem…you…she seems to be able to distinguish between disagreeing with a statement and personally attacking the maker of the statement.
Never mind the fact that I think she misinterpreted what I said.
Of course, when you really have no argument to make, what else do you have but foul language and personal attacks?
You can twist around haow ever you want chap. But Dak’s right about one thing I shouldn’t talk out of school even if it’s on the internet in that regard I apologize.
Oh I get chap’s evil twin wrote it. Slick but thin.
dakine: You’re a guttersnipe. Now go crawl back under the rock from whence you came, you pissant coward.
chapoutier: You’re a traitor. You are a traitor to this country and to the principles the Founding Fathers espoused. You are a socialist who would impose that jackboot on all of us “little people”, you god-forsaken elitist scumbag.
By God, if we marched on DC, I would tar and feather you, you cowardly, sack of s***. It’s precisely garbage like you who are destroying this country. Would that I could run you and your ilk out of here as the patriots did to those traitors (probably your ancestors) during the Revolution.
I detest you slimy traitors more than I do the Muslim terrorists who flew those planes on 9/11. That’s how low and despicable you are.
You are no lawyer. You are a cheat and an obfuscator.
Traitor.
You do not uphold the Constitution.
Traitor.
You broke your oath.
Traitor.
Your word is worth less than a rat’s a**. How do you sleep at night? Let me guess. Several martinis to make you comfortably numb, eh?
Traitor.
You supplant our Constitution for socialism.
Traitor.
You are not worthy to be called American.
Traitor.
You and your Leftist ilk have betrayed all the values with which the Constitution have been created.
Traitor.
atheling,
Awww.you are so sweet. I love you too!
Traitor
My JD from G’town and three bar admissions respectfully disagree.
Traitor. (I don’t really mean it just pokin’ fun!
)
Wait! I thought you said I was no lawyer! See! I can make funny about lawyers too!
Traitor. Just kidding
I only drink martinis made from emjem’s tears. Otherwise I drink scotch, Guinness and wine. And yes it does tak more than a few to erase from my mind the searing images of Seige/Goldwater brutalizing logic, basic civility and proper grammer/spelling.
Traitor. (No seriously, just kidding
)
And by the way Seige, congrats on going a whole post without using one profanity. You must have finally gotten around to reading those terms of use that our host, whom you claim to hold in such high regard, wishes you to follow.
Fair enough White…you’ll know when I roll my dice. Stay frosty brah. BTW, are you drunk tonight? I’m serious. More spelling and grammatical errors than usual.
atheling, no surprise to see you align yourself with the likes of seige. Seriously, take a couple of days and then go back and read your last post. You sound like some sort of unhinged lunatic. Very angry. Very bitter. Very emotional and illogical. Very immature. Unstable, frankly.
Chap, I feel slighted. Atheling hit you up with possibly the most pathetically ridiculous diatribe I’ve ever seen directed at a fellow poster on this site. Truly delusional and absurd. I’m jealous.
And 7000 Greek Hoplite warriors who didn’t bring their press agent.
But this man Obama has a first rate pick for Secretary of Defense: William Ayers of the Weather Underground. He knows where the Pentagon is and has experience with explosives. For Secretary of State let us not over look Obama pal Rashid Khalidi of the Woods Fund and PLO.
Alternative patriots you might say.Yes the Messiah-of-Change Obama and mamaObama done come and there are bringing every left over old hippie they can find.
How about a blue burka?
Ah, the Scribe and the Pharisee, lined up together. How appropos.
You two are to real Americans what Gollum is to hobbits.
Life is short and you have to appreciate humor where you find it.

“…I kept thinking “This is not he undrseige I knew.”
Then in the same post he writes:
“Was he finally shamed from his lack of spelling ability”.
Now that is funny stuff.
Hannibal the “he” instead of the was a typo to be sure. It was the drink.
But the “undrseige” was entirely intentional and Goldwater knows why.
Atheling, your biblical referenes are lost on me. I am a heathan athiest.
well, ya sure as heck know that isn’t his bowling score.
What’s an “athiest”? ROFL. Don’t even know how to spell what you are, eh?
BTW, being an atheist doesn’t excuse you from cultural literacy.
Just realized, “refernes” should be “references”.
You sure you’re a “lawyer”, Mr. Pharisee?
Ironically, after all the early comments on Friday, my wife had borrowed a copy of 300 froma friend in her office to watch this weekend.
The athiest was my little dig at undrseige. And as for the Bible, I did read parts of the Old Testament for Ancient Lit class in college. Frankly, among all the ancient myths, I enjoyed Gilgamesh more.
Among all = most, not more.
You sure you’re a “lawyer”? Your spelling and grammar are lacking.
Illiterate fool.
What, if anything, do you do for a living atheling?
None of your business, Scribe.
Lonely under that rock, are you?
I predict that after wrecklessly skipping through the political landmine of the Middle East, Barak Obama will return to the U.S. without a leg to stand on.
I also predict that liberals, as always, will ignore that fact, but it will be apparent to all that Obama’s stature will be greatly diminished.
Obama does Afghanistan.

As your said => heathan; atheist is another matter.
Sorry for you loss.
Your damnit )o:
That’s what I thought atheling. Thanks.
Lord, help us. The complete idiot Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t know how long a presidential term is. No wonder he needs three hundred foreign policy advisers.
This is getting to be very frightening. Obama has no understanding of basic numeracy. This is no joke. When he says 10,000 people died in tornados, there are 57 states, and now that he will be president for 10 years, you got to wonder if he has no grasp of numbers and arithmetic, a sign of basic intelligence.
The Messiah and all his “300 advisers” are now claiming that the Iraqi PM is all for his plan for a pull out in 16 months. So much so, that Nanci Pelosi is out and about, once again forgetting just who is President, who is the Commander in Chief of the military and calling for the pull out of the troops and for negotiations for such.
Unfortunately, what all 300 as well as The Gifted One is failing to see is that the Iraqi PM is now saying he never made such a claim, is not endorsing any candidate over another, and is saying that the Iraqi stance on the american troops and how long they will remain in country is the same as it was, nothing has changed, and it is exactly what President bush has been saying…when the iraqia stand up, we will stand down.
Pelosi is once again dancing dangerously close…if not actually crossing the line…of treason by making the calls she is now on record of making. Once again., Obamessiah has got it wrong, and proof positive that no matter how many “advisers” you claim to have, if they couldn’t find their butts with a road map, Sherpa Guide and a compass, let alone know the differnce between it and a hole in the ground, they are all completely worthless.
Yet the Messiah’s Disciples refuse to hear the truth, and are still out there propagating the lie, trying to make it look like he is just this side of walking on water.
Instead of being this great big triumph of a trip, it is instead doing nothing more than demonstrating what a mistake he would be and how his lack of knowledge and understanding will be disasterous all the way around.
Throw Nanci Pelosi in jail now, before she does any further damage and any more members of our military are killed by the filth and lies that spew forth from those thin, lifeless, crumbling lips.
Looks like James Dobson is now supporting McCain for POTUS.
He’s not alone. So have 100 other conservative Christian leaders.
