Typical of 0bama, we've got a coalition but it's secret.

Former head of Marine Corps: ‘Not a snowball’s chance In hell’ Obama’s plan succeeds

[hal ogen]

These commies won’t “name countries” because there are none.

[bergmeid]

We are so screwed with this bunch.

[ken in texas]

... support from more than 40 countries, but declined to name them or the extent of their support

These are probably the countries that exchanged a hello before hanging up the phone. The rest let it roll to voice mail.

[headstamp 2]

Morons from when end to the other.

[ColdOne]

We all know from the previous years from this bunch if they had them they would be named all over the alphabet channels.

[Dallas59]

RUN AWAY!

[what's up]

They are embarrassed now because they're running against Bush's record.

Obama is never able to put together coalitions for deals. Remember that Asian deal they were supposed to get? Obama tried to scramble when he went to Asia to get it but it was a bust.

Memories of Bush's speech to the UN and he following achievements now come to mind. First Bush got his vote in Congress. Then he went to the UN and got his vote there. Powers is scrambling now because she's up against the Bush record. Will Obama's UN speech achieve the same results as Bush's? Doubt it. Obama has done nothing to work with these countries; why should they commit to him?

Mark Steyn story from 9-13-14: There is a disinclination to believe his promises, said Mustafa Alani of the Gulf Research Center in Dubai.

“We have reached a low point of trust in this administration,” he said. “We think in a time of crisis Mr. Obama will walk away from everyone if it means saving his own skin.”

Will Obama's UN speech achieve the same results as Bush's? Doubt it.

I doubt it too.

0bama is not respected in the world whether the countries are allies or adversaries, he's made a mess of foreign relations and is not trusted.

[a fool in paradise]

How many were part of the coalition that Bush put together?

[a fool in paradise]

TRANSPARENCY

[jazusamo]

I could be wrong but just the other day I believe I read it was 55 to 58.

[GeronL]
