    Yeah. Obama is brilliant, and a foreign policy wiz. Too bad he can't anticipate the moves of a crazy person.

    The poor guy.

    Anticipate and do what, exactly?

    If you anticipate something, you can act before it happens.

    Why are you interjecting Obama into that?

    Thanks. I know what "anticipate" means.

    Act how before it happens? Exactly what action do you think could have been taken to prevent this?

    Because the media is, as a way of excusing the President's inability to do anything:

    Besides war and showing faux images of "being a leader", what do you want him to do?

    "Bin Laden Determined to Strike United States".

    The guy's been checkmated, and folks are asking me, what he should do now.

    He's already lost the game.

    We'll try this again: Besides war, how should he have played the game?

    Good God.

    Let's for a moment stipulate that George W. Bush was the dumbest Son of a Bitch to ever walk the planet, and was our worst President ever. He missed all the signs leading up to 9/11 and started a war based on lies.

    What the fuck does that have to do with the way Obama has dealt with Putin?

    Can you ever just defend or criticize current events, instead of trying to say that your guy is just as bad as the worst President ever? That's not much of a defense.

    Baron, you have to go back and look at how he's handled every foreign policy issue, and how it was perceived in Moscow.
