President Barack Obama has recently completed the most successful
foreign
policy tour since Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. You name it, he blew
it.
What was his big deal economic programme that he was determined to
drive
through the G20 summit? Another massive stimulus package, globally
funded
and co-ordinated. Did he achieve it? Not so as you'd notice.
Barack Obama in Prague on his astonishingly successful tour
Barack is not the first New World ingenue to discover that European
leaders
will load him with praise, struggle sycophantically to be photographed
with
him and outdo him in Utopian rhetoric. But when it comes to the
critical
moment of opening their wallets - suddenly it is flag-day in Aberdeen.
Okay,
put the G20 down to inexperience, beginner's nerves, what you will.
On to Nato and the next big objective: to persuade the same European
evasion
experts that America, Britain and Canada should no longer bear the
brunt of
the Afghan struggle virtually unassisted. The Old World sucked through
its
teeth, said that was asking a lot - but, seeing it was Barack, to whom
they
could refuse nothing, they would graciously accede to his wishes.
So The One retired triumphant, having secured a massive contribution
of
5,000 extra troops - all of them non-combatant, of course - which
must
really have put the wind up the Taliban, at the prospect of 5,000
more
infidel cooks and bottle-washers swarming into the less hazardous
regions of
Afghanistan.
Then came the dramatic bit, the authentic West Wing script, with the
President wakened in the middle of the night in Prague to be told that
Kim
Jong-il had just launched a Taepodong-2 missile. America had Aegis
destroyers tracking the missile and could have shot it down. But Uncle
Sam
had a sterner reprisal in store for l'il ole Kim (as Dame Edna might
call
him): a multi-megaton strike of Obama hot air.
"Rules must be binding," declared Obama, referring to the fact that
Kim had
just breached UN Resolutions 1695 and 1718. "Violations must be
punished."
(Sounds ominous.) "Words must mean something." (Why, Barack? They
never did
before, for you - as a cursory glance at your many speeches will
show.)
President Pantywaist is hopping mad and he has a strategy to cut Kim
down to
size: he is going to slice $1.4bn off America's missile defence
programme,
presumably on the calculation that Kim would feel it unsporting to hit
a
sitting duck, so that will spoil his fun.
Watch out, France and Co, there is a new surrender monkey on the block
and,
over the next four years, he will spectacularly sell out the interests
of
the West with every kind of liberal-delusionist initiative on nuclear
disarmament and sitting down to negotiate with any power freak who
wants to
buy time to get a good ICBM fix on San Francisco, or wherever. If you
thought the world was a tad unsafe with Dubya around, just wait until
President Pantywaist gets into his stride.
