OK, it's time for a quick review on where we are on Afghanistan.
We've just screwed over two European allies, Poland and the Czech Republic, who have troops in Afghanistan and have supported us for years. In addition to throwing them to the Russian Bear, we've screamed at our best ally in the Middle East, Israel, and demanded that they stop all construction in any disputed zone. Sarkozy of France (France!) has publicly doubted the strength and wisdom of our approach to Iran. Finally, we've treated Britain like chumps, regularly insulting their prime minister.
Now it's time to rally our allies to finish the job in Afghanistan.
Right. I'll just bet that they can't wait to help us out.

To quote one of my favorite movies: "We don't have time to discuss this in committee."

Someone explain to me again how this guy is _Better_ for our image that W?
Oh, and to steal the line.... "They told me that if I voted for McCain, we'd destroy our image around the world-- and they were right!"
I think the notion that being hated and feared is necessarily a bad thing is about to be challenged by reality.
The folks for whom it's _not_ good to be hated and feared are the ones he's just being rude to....
Flipping the bird to our closest friends and allies and sucking up to our mortal enemies . . . that's Change You Can Believe In!
