| No your right it isn't, but it's a start. What's fundamental about actually speaking to the leader of another country? surely that's good policy. What's fundamental anout wanting to get out of a war that you shouldn't have started in the first place? What's fundamental about ACTUALLY capturing or killing Bin Laden just because he's in Pakistan? People like Obama because he's a genuinely nice guy, people don't like Bush because he's an arrogant dumb piece of shit and people aren't too fond of McCain because he's a grumpy old bastard who for better or worse is going to follow Bush's plans, which are pretty fucked up to say the least. To be the best leader you surround yourself by the best people, so needing all this foreign experience is bullshit. Bush's foreign policy experience totalled letting the Taliban visit Texas there in 1997 when he was Governor and having close ties with the Saudi's which coincidentally was the nationality of 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11. McCains foreign policy experience includes him being shot down and held POW for 5 years in Vietnam. So when McCain touts 'he knows how to win wars' he doesn't, not unless the history books are wrong, because America LOST that one. > Well, being liked isn't a cornerstone of a successful > foreign policy - in fact the reverse seems more true. > Given my reservations about Obama's fundamental foreign > policy i doubt he would be so welled received as he was in > Europe recently in two or three years. > > > Foreigners like him for a start, which is a big plus when > > you're asking for help.
