I think he’ll jump the shark pretty soon and just go too far, and The Emperor will then “have no clothes”. The honeymoon will be over.

And then what? Has anyone war-gamed this situation? Maybe too many paths end up huge disasters.

What partnership with the Muslim world 20 or 30 years ago?? Iran went Islamist and took Americans hostage at around that time. King Faysal of Saudi Arabia pulled the oil sword and triggered the OPEC embargo around that time. Islamofascism was brewing in Afghanistan around that time. Saddam was in power in Iraq, Qadhafi in Libya, Hafiz Assad in Syria, Arafat in the PA, and Hezbollah was killing Americans in Beirut. Seriously, does 0 know any history at all?? (rhetorical question)

The only partnership we had in that area was with the Shah of Iran; a partnership that a DEMOCRAT ruined.

we need a President that will openly threaten to nuke Mecca
if they attack us in any major way again .
No further notice should be given.

Obama’s remarks were  cynical, direct slaps in the face to past presidents who kept us safe from the same Islamo-fascists who Obama was groveling before. What a tool.
