Wanted: A New Grand Strategy

Scott66, Leave Brittany alo... I mean, "leave sarah alone" sniff snifff....

I would venture to say that many on this board probably could be a mayor in Alaska and work up to governor if they wanted to go that route. Many probably would not be able to lie straight faced and decieve and talk enough crp to beat her out though. She was really good at all of that. Unfortunetly she didn't show much else to give her any credibility for thinking people not driven by ideology to see her as the leader of this country

I wasn't shtting on Sarah Palin. I was shtting on her supporters that actually thought by golly that she is even close to being ready to lead this country.

As far as her qualifications i respect her for that. I do feel however that she represents much of whatis out of touch and wrong with the GOP. And further I see Alaska as one of the easiest States of any to govern in terms of economy. I don't really care for her fakeness that she derived from the GOP how to be like Ronald Reagan school.

If she was more genuine she may have had a following outside of the GOP base. The fact that they supported her to be a heartbeat away from the presidency shows how low the bar goes in this ideological battle that the base fights.

As far as my Job, IQ and relevance. From what I have seen from Sarah, i posess way more foreign policy knowledge than her, and that is scary because I am a novice. I believe I also have better judgement than her from what she showed. And I am just a lowly project manager that makes a comfortable 6 figure salary.

So, basically, I see many of her supporters as dopes. They are the ones who accept her dog and pony show as something credible, to me it is laughable, and they are too.

This thing's waaaay too slow for me today. Think I'll let it mend a bit. Hey Doc, I see your posts frequently, some of the best and they get the most laughs out of me. Thanks. Hope we can connect sometime when it's fast enought to hold a conversation.

40yearsR, that would be preaching to the choir.

Hey Repub, "This is the guy who reminds us daily that there is an element that is capable of doing real harm to the country."

Would someone explain that to his mainliners?

So, America doesn't have as much influence, it's weaker than the past. Therefore, Obama needs to ask everyone to stop being rivals and sit down at the table as equals. Then he must use his charming personality to woo everyone. He must tell others that Americans really are best suited to lead the reshaping of the world order.

Mr. Zakaria, everyone has bad days, this article was surely written on one of yours.

Our miserable failure of a president, George Bush, has ruined our entire economy and left a mess that will take Barack Obama more than four years to clean up.

We do expect a lot from the next President, The good news is; if America has ever elected a President capable of the transformation expected and anticipated it has done so, the vision is indeed present.
Hopefully America can return to the peace loving and prosperous nation it has long struggled to be..
Let the new Millinium begin...even if it is eight years late.

3rd December 1971 - The beginning of the end of the genocide of Bengali Muslims by the Pakistani Army. Let us not forget the 3 miilion Bengali Muslims killed by Pakistani soldiers.

A focus on global nationalism will also eliminate the threat from cultures whose time-frames and values cannot be made to match the demands of foreign central banks, as nations adjust to their own resource and value sets. There is nothing in the removal of international finance that lessens the promotion of international cooperation on matters of mutual interest. To the contrary, many of our worst problems (over consumption, balance of trades, terrorism) would be reduced or eliminated.
