I sincerely hope you’re joking. Of course she would. She also has the same level of mastery of foreign policy as a box of pancake mix.[/quote]
Well I have to agree with you on that one. No way she’d be savvy enough to go on an apology tour, bow to foreign leaders, treat our enemies like our friends and our friends (Israel) like our enemies. And of course their was that brilliant piece of foreign policy…what was it called? Oh yeah…Benghazi! First time an American Ambassador was killed in over 40 years. But that was all over a video on the Internet it wasn’t terrorism according to Obama. Oh wait…he was wrong wasn’t he? But at least the press made him look like an idiot for saying such a thing. Oh wait no they didn’t either they covered for him.

Your post is a mirror image of Fox News talking points. Have you considered looking into these complex issues on your own instead of being spoon fed by partisan hacks? The same would apply if you watched MSNBC. Foreign Policy issues are rarely white or black, but various shades of grey. You don’t seem to understand the extent to which Iraq War damaged our standing in the international community. Heaven forbid that the president execute one of his office’s historical roles, that of chief diplomat. Bengazi? Yes, the administration could have been more forthright with the American people. Unfortunately, it was election season. I hope you were equally outraged at the strategic blunder in Iraq that claimed countless more American lives? Also, I count 4 American ambassadors that have been killed in your time-frame of 40 years. Since 1973, we have lost ambassadors Cleo A. Noel Jr, Rodger P. Davies, Francis E. Meloy Jr, and Adolph Dubs were in targeted killings.[/quote]
I stand corrected on the number of years but I am correct on the number of deaths by terrorism. Adolph Dubs was the most recent Ambassador who was killed by terrorists. The date of his death was 1979. That was 33 years ago (not 40). That’s when we had another ineffectual democratic President, Jimmy Carter. I guess the terrorists just seem to know huh? . . .
As for Obama’s foreign policy, he doesn’t have one. But you already know that you’re a sharp guy.
As for Palin, I would say in raw intelligence she is in obama’s league no question. I honestly think that Obama is far more sizzle than steak.

Nope. Wrong again. Cleo A. Noel was assassinated by the PLO (Black September) in 1973 during the Nixon administration. Your quick google search should have informed you of that. Also, you never said deaths by “terrorism.” Rather, you said “First time an American Ambassador was killed in over 40 years.” Regardless, how would you be correct if you weren’t aware of the deaths in the first place? [/quote]
LOL…1979 came 6 years after 1973. That means that the most recent terrorist attack to kill one of our Ambassadors was 33 years ago.
You’re going to read this and feel silly huh?
That’s okay…most people eventually end up feeling that way who try to defend Obama.[/quote]
I’m glad I could correct you after you made a declarative statement concerning a subject you are clearly unversed on. You still won’t admit your mistake but hey you wouldn’t be ZEB if you did that right?[/quote]
My mistake was that I said it was 40 years ago and it was only 33 years ago. Your mistake was not even knowing that terrorists killed an Ambassador, and your second mistake was including Ambassador’s that were killed by car accidents, heart attacks etc.
Just give it up, go kiss your Obama ring and call it a thread.[/quote]
1- You made a declarative, concrete statement. “First time an American Ambassador was killed in over 40 years.”
2-I proved your claim to be patently false
3- After your quick google search where you hopefully realized you were full of shit, you said “Your mistake was not even knowing that terrorists killed an Ambassador, and your second mistake was including Ambassador’s that were killed by car accidents, heart attacks etc.” Bullshit and bullshit. Every man I listed was murdered in the countries in which they were serving. YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW OF THEM UNTIL YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH, which evidently didn’t do much because you are still babbling on like an imbecile.
You have no ground to stand on ZEB. I don’t frantically google economic theories and attempt to argue in economic discussions for the sake of arguing because I frankly don’t have the educational background to do so. You should follow my example when it comes to Foreign Policy.
Here’s literally the 1st result on google. That was difficult.
