UPDATE: Reader Paul Jackson writes: Who could have foreseen that the president who follows Obama will have to hit the reset button…..with Great Britain and Israel!!! And the list may grow longer, […]

State Department Worked To Prevent Honduras Coup

Misc

I’m still catching up on all the news of Honduras, but I found this article to not be that newsworthy: The Obama administration worked in recent days to prevent President Manuel Zelaya’s ouster, said a senior U.S. official. The State Department, in particular, communicated to Honduran officials on the ground that President Barack Obama wouldn’t […]

Confirmed: Hillary Met With Obama In Chicago

Misc

The Huffington Post has now confirmed that Hillary Clinton did meet with Obama in Chicago yesterday. Speculation is that she is being considered for Secretary of State. There have been mixed reactions about this, but I think it would be a very good move. As First Lady, Hillary was a face of diplomacy, as are […]

Bush And His Cowboy Talk

Misc

Bush is out in full force doing his cowboy talk against other countries: “If the Iranians are trying to influence the outcome of the political process, or the outcome of the security situation there, we’re letting them know our displeasure,” Bush said. “Our call is for those in the neighborhood to allow Iraq to develop […]

Living In 2003

Misc

Well things are really heating up with Iran. You can tell that Bush’s approval ratings are in the crapper and they really need something else to divide this country. What a better way to do this then to get Cheney out there opening his mouth (from the WAPO) Though Lavrov said it was too early […]

Good Bye Diplomacy

Misc

In a sad farewell to diplomacy, today George Bush did what he promised. He has installed John Bolton as our ambassador to the UN. The man who not only lied to Senate but also has unquestionably been abusive to subordinates is now our man sitting at the head of diplomacy. Bush has taken the stance […]
