Quixotry Jabberwocky

Listening to Barack Obama's hemming, hawing, pausing, and stammering for words during his Middle East press conferences is painful at best. Can the presumptive Democratic Presidential candidate not speak without a teleprompter? Apparently not!

Once you get past that difficult hurdle of listening to his blather, the next obstacle is trying to dissect his Chestertonian quixotry jabberwocky and warbling which leaves you wondering if Obama even has a clue as to what is spewing forth from his mouth. He certainly does not understand foreign policy. Clearly anti-US military, anti-capitalist, and anti-establishmentarian, Obama's responses to questions are equivalent to a person speaking in tongues---confused on issues, lacking in facts, uncertain in tone, and at times sounding defiant of anyone challenging his positions.

Condemning the Bush surge in Iraq as a failure, Obama's next sentence called for a US surge in Afghanistan. Even NBC's Andrea Mitchell deemed the US surge in Iraq a success and having worked for quite some time. Sen. Obama, if the surge didn't work in Iraq, what makes you think it will work in the more treacherous Afghanistan theater of war? The British suffered a humiliating defeat there in the 1800s, and Russia suffered a brutal defeat there in the 1980s. Refusing to acknowledge the US military success in Iraq reflects Obama's arrogance and inability to admit mistakes.

The question for Americans is "Who do you want making Commander-in-Chief decisions---a neophyte or a seasoned veteran?"
