Charles is right on as usual. One would think that Americans would be appalled by all of this, but they are overwhelmed by "all this political stuff," and there is the finale of "Lost" that must be attended to, and "Do you think Lindsay is really a lesbian?" It's all just too much and, really, Barack is a cool guy and Krauthammer is a nerd, right?

God help us....

Why do we all sit on our hands and let this Administration/Congress dismantle what's been put into place over the last 200 years? Why??!!

Flaccid is the perfect word to describe Barack Obama and his nasty administration.

BO has taken his own insecurities and arrogance about being liked and transferred them to an entire nation. He wants so desperately to be picked for a spot on the team that he is willing to do anything in order for that to happen, including dissing the country he is supposedly president of. Problem is, he wants onto the wrong team and he is killing America in the process. I believe he could easily be called a traitor

Keep talking Mr. Krauthammer! I cannot remember a time when our foreign policy was so weak, disoganized and anti-America. I have to pinch myself everytime some new edict is put out there by the administration. I am fearful and everyone else should be too.

Clinton was flacid on foreign policy too. It was the other thing he wasn't flacid on...

It's the people that make The United States of America what it is, and NOT its temporary presidents. We shall really see what state we are in at the next election. The people need to get off their duffs and lead again and not let go ever again. We can't depend on politicians to lead. If we could, then pollsters would be out of jobs.

Voting is not our only civic duty. All of us have local governments and US and state representatives nearby. Bend their ears. Never let up. they won't need polls then. Get out there and fix your own back yards and the message will start to head up the chain.

God bless The United States of America. And may God help us take vengeance on those who would destroy her.

Thank you Dr. Krauthammer for another factual essay about one of the big steps our current Administration and Congress has/is taking to drag our country toward Socialism and a third world power.

Actually, (1) the election of Pres. Obama came about as a result of the Federal Governments taking over the Education system in this country. This has led to countless numbers of high school graduates who know virtually nothing about American history much less the Constituton and Bill of Rights. Consequently, they know nothing about where America has been or where its headed. And (2) we are being led by a Pres. who has to apologize to every tin horn dictator in the world about America's arrogance and his appointment of a Sec. of State who is imminitely unqualified for the job. But because she has always advocated a one world government under the UN, she fit in perfectly with the Presidents ideological plan to eliminate our Constitutional form of government and replace it with a tyrannical form.

Let's face it, at the rate the Obama administration is spending money. We will be lucky if we can afford to defend ourselves.

"That picture -- a defiant, triumphant take-that-Uncle-Sam -- is a crushing verdict on the Obama foreign policy. It demonstrates how rising powers, traditional American allies, having watched this administration in action, have decided that there's no cost in lining up with America's enemies and no profit in lining up with a U.S. president given to apologies and appeasement."

Oh sure, when Bush Jr was in the WH Lula and the Turks were just rolling over to have their bellies tickled.

The simple truth is that America's power and prestige, as well as its finances, deteriorated so seriously under President Chimp and his phoney-WMD show that the whole world finds the USA's imperial posturings more ridiculous than frightening.

Now Charles 'Dr Strangelove' Krauthammer tries to run a revival of the old 'kill them anti-Israeli Muslims before they kill us' baloney wtraight out of the Saddam Hussein playbook- but that neocon b.s won't work twice.

Dr Strangelove may say Iran is a potential nuclear threat, but sixteen US intelligence agencies continue to maintain otherwise, as does the International Atomic Energy Agency. If he and his fellow Zionist propagandists know something the experts don't, let him say so with better evidence than all the other scaremongering stunts which fall so flat nowadays. And while he's at it, the good doctor might clue us up about how many nuclear warheads Israel now has-- 200, 300?

Why does a supposedly conservative website give publicity to the ravings of this dual-loyalist advocate of wasteful defense spending, meddling in foreign countries' affairs and hazarding the blood and treasure of Americans?

Lots of Americans are skeptical of Obama's foreign policy without their having dual loyalty.

Nilsson Shmilsson indeed. The reason no one worries about the nuclear capabilities of Israel is that there is no fear that they will lose their minds and start lobbing annhilation into the air. Iran on the other hand is not the least bit shy about telling anyone who will listen what their intentions are in the name of Mohammed or at the behest of the Mahdi living in a wishing well. We wish that all that was necessary was subservience to Arab leaders to appease their grand designs. Since Training Wheels Obama has done his best to do just that, we should now be living in the most peaceful of times with all Muslims responding in kind. However in their world it is a sign of weakness to be treated with scorn and seen as opportunity. Strength they respect beacause that they fear.

Wow, Nilsson at first I thought this guy is pretty smart, but then that was the part where you quoted Dr.K. The rest of your response is the same old blame Bush distortion of fact. When every other sentence involves calling names rather than dealing with opponenet's ideas, you reveal your true purpose. So quit cutting classes and posting and get back to class -- what is it now? your third try at 8th grade?
