Obama Bows to Muhammad

If you bow to enough people and spend enough time apologizing, eventually someone is going to decide you're weak and start running roughshod over you. That has apparently now happened to Barack Hussein Obama.

Syrian and Iranian officials have told the Kuwaiti daily Al-Rai that the Middle East will be ablaze if there is any attempt to change the balance of power within it, and threatened that harming the regime in Syria will have grave ramifications for Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan, and for the U.S. forces in the region.

They said that the Syrian regime can allow mujahideen to infiltrate into Iraq to harm American interests there, and that it will be possible to harm Americans in the regions under Taliban control if they act against the Syrian regime.

What could go wrong?

GWB did not gain lopsided votes for the Patriot and Military Commissions Acts by his winning personality.Obama could have lost the election promising to nationalize health care and financial institutions. He suffered some heat by suggesting a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. Now, most Americans accept the need for restructuring.
