Krauthammer Rips Obama's Description of our Relations with Muslims

Washington Post ^ | 1/30/09 | Charles Krauthammer

[frposty]

Is it "new" to acknowledge Muslim interests and show respect to the Muslim world? Obama doesn't just think so, he said so again to millions in his al-Arabiya interview, insisting on the need to "restore" the "same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago."

Astonishing. In these most recent 20 years -- the alleged winter of our disrespect of the Islamic world -- America did not just respect Muslims, it bled for them. It engaged in five military campaigns, every one of which involved -- and resulted in -- the liberation of a Muslim people: Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Makes me wonder how Obama could say what he did.

Somehow Krauthammer has resisted the Obama charm Brooks and Will have found so irresistible.

This bears repeating. People like Obama handlers assume Americans have no memories of what happened in the past except the revisionist slants the left gves them

It would be interesting to hear Krauthammer’s professional analysis of Obama.

Because he's a DailyKOS/DU/DNC/MSNBC/World Can't Wait-type left-wing moonbat, who has just been good at disguising his real beliefs with innocuous-sounding generalities most of the time?

Despite public posturing by moslem governments, most of them look to the US as an ally or at least a force for stability which protects them.

[JoeA]

gratuitous disparagement of the country he is now privileged to lead.
He can do this because he doesn't see it as a privilege to lead this country, because he's not one of us, not an American, and a usurper.

The enemy is now inside the gates.

Barack has spoken many words referencing Islam, Charles. He has been very consistent in where his sympathies lie. Why the sudden concern?

[Just mythoughts]

Krauthammer should not be one bit surprise of Bama’s intentions. As I recall he turned his nose up and frowned really big over Sarah. I figure he would be itching no matter which party won.

Because 0bama said, a long time ago, he would always come down on the side of the Muslims. He disparages our wonderful country and prostrates himself at the alter of Mohammad. Sadly, the USA now has people in charge, Presidency, House and Senate who think we are the bad guys. I was always amazed that Big Media got away with telling the masses that the Bush Administration wasn't using diplomacy during the WOT. The sheeple believed Big Media and now the enemy is on control of our country.

I had no problems at all with the Muslim community - until September 11, 2001. Now the Muslims have mastered the liberal “victim” whine, so the Left, including Obama, can feel sorry for them.

“Makes me wonder how Obama could say what he did.”

Obama is a leftist who believes that the World’s problems are caused by our failure to suck up to dictators.

[penelopesire]

Excellent article!

Obama is nothing but an egotistical little tyrant thug pretending he is the most powerful messiah the world has ever known!

I HOPE HE FAILS!!

Excuse me, I do believe you're confusing our new President with somebody who actually knows something.

Easy for NObama- he was born a Muslim in Kenya, raised a Muslim in Indonesia, and is still a Muslim at his core.
