The challenge now for Obama is to get up off of his lazy ass and make a decision. The time for waffling is over.

Yes. Short answer. The leak to the Washington Post of the assessment by General McChrystal, the officer in charge of the war in Afghanistan, is quintessential Washington power politics and a major “go screw yourself Barack” by the person or persons who passed the paper to Bob Woodward. You do not get leaks when there is a policy consensus on an issue. There are several reasons classified or sensitive information is leaked–a policy disagreement, a desire to embarrass a principle official or a whistleblower.

Here’s how Woodward started his story:

Will Obama Surrender Afghanistan to the Mullahs?

Why does Obama always side with evil?

ONE:

250 Rabbis Sign Letter to Obama: Hands off Jerusalem

TWO:

[Jim] DeMint is one of 17 Republican senators who wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this month asking the administration to reassess its stance on Honduras...DeMint asked why Washington would want to be on the same side as Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Fidel Castro, in the Honduran crisis. "President Obama rushed to side with Chavez and Castro before getting the facts.

THREE:

It causes me no small amount of embarrassment and shame as a proud American that Obama systematically sides with evil and the suppression of free men across the world as a matter of foreign policy. Nothing illustrates this as nakedly as Obama's support of the mullahcracy in Iran and the Chavez backed Zelaya coup on Honduran democracy.

Iran's Latest U.S. Hostage
Goodwill begets an espionage trial.

In 2003, an Iranian-born Canadian photojournalist named Zahra Kazemi was arrested in Tehran, jailed in its notorious Evin prison and charged with espionage. Less than three weeks later, Kazemi was dead. An Iranian doctor who examined her before her death later reported that she had been raped, sustained a skull fracture and had her fingernails ripped out.

Now another foreign journalist is imprisoned at Evin and also charged with espionage. In late January, Roxana Saberi, a U.S.-born reporter of Iranian descent who had been living in Iran for several years, was arrested for buying a bottle of wine. In early March, she was accused of "illegal activities," including working without press credentials. She was later indicted for espionage and on Monday her case went to trial, which lasted a day; a verdict is expected within weeks.

If you read this whole article, you will understand that the American people were duped into believing that Obama would change the way that Iran relates to the United States. This, and other information coming out daily in the news proves they were all just "useful idiots."

Advocates of engagement often make the case that talks are the best way to foster better relations with Iran, and a better Iran altogether. Ms. Saberi's prosecution is as good an indication as any of the real nature of the regime, and of how the mullahs intend to reciprocate Mr. Obama's open handshake.
