He will do it under a banner that says, “Mission Accomplished.”

Place your bets. Mine’s Tehran.

Mine's Jakarta.

As somebody put it (Krauthammer, I think), Obama believes in the "power of the grand gesture" and the "his own charisma" to work magic.

And voila: The heavens will open, the angels will sing, and there will be peace on Earth" (to paraphrase someone else).

What a dork. The naivete would be funny if it weren't so damn dangerous for our nation.

Well, there's always Islamabad. However, the last politician that had the media infatuated with her didn't fare too well before her adoring fans there...

Anyone else wonder how Arabs fit into Michelle Bunker Obama's "Afro-Centric" views?

“..as he seeks to mend America's image in the Muslim world, a Chicago Tribune interview said.”

We do need to mend our image in the Islamic World. But not Obama’s way, which is an acceleration of the proskenesis of the current administration to everything and nearly everyone Islamic.

We need to eject Muslims from the west, block any from further immigration here and attack them in their heartlands by surgical strikes at their centers of power.

Make no mistake about it - Islam is at war with the west - either through use of our own laws and tolerance against us from within, or through use of state sponsored terrorists from without. But when the Islamophile steps into the White House, he will pander to these termites as they destroy us rfom within and without.

I’m thinking Cairo or Beirut.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Would a stairwell or an elevator shaft count?

Probably Dubai. Maybe Baghdad.

Yes, he’s already stated that his first trip abroad would be Indonesia (back home).

Look on the bright side — perhaps the head choppers will ply their trade.

“Maybe he’ll go to Mecca and throw rocks at the devil”

It would be very interesting if he did, since only the Islamic faithful are permitted entrance to that city...
