    “From Tel Aviv to Turtle Bay
    The White House hoped a new Israeli prime minister would resume peace talks with the Palestinians. With Netanyahu holding on, the administration is weighing a turn to the U.N. to help force a deal.”
    “On Wednesday, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki did not rule out the possibility of the United States supporting a U.N. resolution on Israel-Palestine.
    “We’re currently evaluating our approach.”

    “What Me Worry?”
    “It’s as horrifying as watching a train wreck. As predicted in yesterday’s post Obama’s foreign policy has nowhere to go, but he’s prepared to go there with considerable velocity. The New York Times says that Obama will go all out against the Israeli prime minister and may switch sides in the UN on the Palestinian issue.”
    “*Hell hath no wrath like Obama scorned.”
    “The administration has reached the stage of pointless self destruction and even Tom Friedman knows it. In a doleful, despairing editorial he says it’s hopeless. Nothing works. Everything has failed. It’s all for nothing. ”Have I ruined your morning yet? No? Give me a couple more paragraphs.”

  4. He forgot to mention that he has seriously pissed-off the US allies, including Canada and the UK.

  5. Interesting timing…Obama pushes the UN to make a move that has a secondary effect of establishing it as the final peace maker and arbiter of worldwide military/political problems
    I am forced to consider that this not a coincidence but a main feature of a plan that required a rallying point
    I know…foil hat…blah…blah.

  7. O’narcissist’s narcissistic rage.
    “He appears to be a lonely, isolated and miserable man whose world is falling apart.”
    “He willed Netanyahu’s political destruction and to see Bibi grinning at him is probably more than he can stand.”

    “What Me Worry?”
    “How far does this brittleness go? Obama’s under enormous stress because nothing has worked out for him and he must be aware that people are laughing at his mistakes. To the ordinary man, being ridiculed is mildly hurtful and no more than that. But to a man with an enormous, bloated and almost malignant ego ridicule is unendurable.
    But rather than chastening him the anger is fueling irrationality which in turn leads to more failure and more ridicule. He willed Netanyahu’s political destruction and to see Bibi grinning at him is probably more than he can stand.
    One must never forget that Obama, being vested with the powers of the president, is very dangerous. It’s fun to taunt him. But in the end it’s like taunting a two-ton bull. I really think someone should talk to him and calm him down. But the question is who? Surely not the wretched Kerry or the sleazy Hillary. Not the buffoonish Joe Biden or wild-eyed Nancy. We are told by the New York Times that he has no friends among other world leaders. Maybe Valerie Jarrett can do it, but will she?
    He appears to be a lonely, isolated and miserable man whose world is falling apart.”

    “Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist.”
    “*Narcissistic injury inevitably leads to narcissistic rage and to a terrifying display of unbridled aggression. The pent-up frustration and hurt translate into devaluation. That which was previously idealized – is now discarded with contempt and hatred.
    This primitive defense mechanism is called “splitting”.”

  8. Let me fix that headline for you:
    From Afghanistan to Iraq, the perils of media ignorance:
    “The first time I visited one of the Canada’s big aid projects in Afghanistan I was assured I would see plenty of local gratitude as students at a school we supported were expected to give us a warm welcome.
    Well, warm it was — a shower of rocks and ridicule from the boys at the all grades school in Kandahar.”
    I wasn’t aware Afghans watched the CBC!
    http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/from-afghanistan-to-iraq-the-perils-of-overconfidence-1.3000495
    Ah, yes, decided for yourself, based on your, at best, incomplete understanding of military/aid missions, so your “perception” become the mission statement, make even that beyond reality (we thought all Afghans would fall in love with Canada), then arrogantly and ignorantly announce mission not accomplished. More pap from our mediocracy, who are especially tin eared on military matters.
