OT - Obama shows his true colors
History will record that Barack Obama's first act of diplomacy as America's president-elect took place two days after his election victory, when he dispatched his senior foreign-policy adviser, Robert Malley, to meet with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad-to outline for them the forthcoming administration's Mideast policy vis-à-vis those nations. An aide to Malley reports, "The tenor of the messages was that the Obama administration would take into greater account Egyptian and Syrian interests" than has President Bush. The Bush administration, it should be noted, has rightly recognized Syria to be not only a chief supporter of the al Qaeda insurgency in Iraq, but also the headquarters of the terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the longtime sponsor of Hamas-the terrorist army whose founding charter is irrevocably committed to the annihilation of Israel. Yet unlike President Bush, Obama and Malley have called for Israel to engage in peace negotiations with Syria. ----------------- snip --------------------- Surprised???? Of course not. What did you expect him to do? You think he would keep trying the same policies that Bush has done for the last eight years? I guess you do. But since in eight years Bush and Condi have gotten nowhere with anyone in the Middle East only a fool would keep doing what they have proven doesn't achieve anything. There is going to be a big difference in this president. When he sees something is a failure he will try a new tact. Unlike Bush, who keeps doing the same thing even when it doesn't work. Big difference there. Clearly, Bush's way is inferior. Hawke |
