Putin Knows How To Deal With Terrorists And Obama
— DrewM

First, Vlady on terrorists...cut their balls off.

Unfortunately, this is related to another story. Putin is rolling Obama in nuclear talks.

Earlier this year Obama and Medvedev agreed that missile defense wouldn't be linked to the attempt to reach a new nuclear weapons reduction treaty. Suddenly Putin the puppet master has come out from behind the curtain and says the two will have to be linked.

Josh Rogin writing at The Cable (Foreign Policy's blog) says it could be the result of a split between Medvedev and Putin or a game the two are playing against Obama.

So what can the administration do? (Atlantic Council Fellow Alexandros) Petersen recalls a similar incident when Ronald Reagan was negotiating the original START agreement with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavik. Gorby demanded that START be linked to U.S. missile defense and Reagan said it was not negotiable and walked out of the room.
"The result of Reagan taking a hard line was that it wasn't linked from the beginning," said Petersen.
More broadly, the question is: What do the current problems with the START process say about Obama's pledge to reset relations with Russia? Perhaps that Russia is looking at the long term and isn't confident that Obama's overtures will be continued by successive administrations.
"They view Obama as somewhat of an anomaly in U.S. foreign policy, and START is for decades," Petersen said.
For the U.S. side, this might also change the calculation about giving Russia concessions before a negotiation is near completion.
"You give them a finger and they take an arm," said Petersen. "With this statement [from Putin], the debate has shifted completely."

The problem is Obama would be happy to dump missile defense for free let alone in exchange for some sort of concession from the Russians. The idea that Obama either by policy preference or personal temperament is going to be anything like Reagan when it comes to the Russians (or anything) is simply laughable.

Whether it be with Islamic terrorists or Obama, Vladdy is playing for keeps and Obama is still operating from that classic foreign policy text, Winnie The Pooh.

I don't think this ends well for us.

3 Perhaps Putin should just give Barry a wish list of things that Barry should be willing to give up in exchange for 'world peace'. Maybe a couple of Nimitz class aircraft carriers would do the trick. Or have those already been hocked to the Chinese?

I expect that Obama will drive a hard bargain with Russia. Sure, he might throw missile defense under the bus, but first he'll make the non-negotional demand that Putin read both his books in return.

See? Compromises on both sides.

27 Putin can kill two birds with one stone by doing Mariel II with his terrorists. Just dump them in America and we'll give them food stamps, housing, in-state tuition at the local community college for their piloting and chemistry classes, and an army of lawyers to see to it that they're not victimized by hate crimes.

The moment the Soviets Russians started griping about the missile defense system in Poland Obama should have started talks with Lithuania for installation of a similar system there. Once they exploded over that he should have said: "fine, strong arm Iran into giving up on nuclear enrichment and we'll consider backing off on Lithuania- oh and by the way if we don't get a positive response to that request in one week we're starting talks with Belarus to set them up with a system as well."

That's the only way to talk to Soviets Russians.

Dec. 31 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama is being urged to strengthen anti-terrorism efforts as he awaits initial results of an investigation into the Dec. 25 attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein asked the president in a letter yesterday to change a 2008 policy that limits the governmentÂ’s ability to place people on a watch list requiring extra screening or banning them from flying.

Â“The U.S. government should watch-list, and deny visas to, anyone who is reasonably believed to be affiliated with, part of, or acting on behalf of a terrorist organization,Â” Feinstein, a California Democrat, said in the letter.

Isn't this denying these poor, innocent, misunderstood, lonely people their rights? This sounds like something Bushitler would do.

105 In no particular order, things I'm pulling for in 2010:

1. Obama to stand up to at least one of our enemies, and to support at least one of our allies.

2. A lasting economic rebound that will benefit everyone.

3. Bacon flavored ecstasy.

4. Victory in Afghanistan.

5. Attacks on AQ in Yemen and elsewhere, regardless of whether the international community agrees.

6. National debt reduction.

7. Lowering unemployment.

8. Gabe taking a class and finally learning our calendar system.

9. A new laptop that runs solely on energy derived from strands of DNA (so long as they're not mine).

10. Good health and prosperity to all Morons and Moronettes.

MRI with the dye showed slight tear in rotater and another cartillage but something else is really wrong deeper that the MRI couldn't spot. General thought seems to be torn labrum. Having hot pains and numbness spells clear down into hand. Hasn't hurt as much the last couple of days though. Thank god. Do. Not. Like. Pain. Meds.

Always wondered how the Chinese and Indians will feel about that. At the rate we are going, Bloomberg will be right, we WILL be a third world country.

Heard Peter King interviewed yesterday. Heard something in his voice that I've never heard before, "real, real, real worry and concern" He brazenly said that Eric Holder was doing the president's bidding and allowing the president to play dumb.

This sadly is not new either. I remember back in 1981 when Mobil finally decided having it's oil facilities in 3rd world kleptocracies was a bad idea and acquired the small domestic oil company Marathon Oil. The LameSM cried and cried "Waah! Monopoly capitalism! Waah!"

Yet when the Clinton Justice and Commerce Departments signed off on oil company mega mergers and the "Seven Sisters" of Big Oil shrinking down to FOUR, there was not a peep. Nothing. Personally, I found that more than a wee bit disturbing.

The room virtually stopped and everyone looked at him. Couldn't figure out if it was the "how could you say that look" or the "aren't you afraid to say that in front of all these people look". someone said "OMG, it was just a joke" and the party went back to well, the party. But someone in my small talking group pointed out that it is scary if you can't feel free to make a joke at a party.

Why does everyone think this guy burned his genitals off? If you look at the photo of his special underpants, it's clear that the one thing that DIDN'T get burned was his junk, because (irony of ironies) the explosive packet actually shielded his crotch from the flames.

That should be a big story but I doubt the major media will pick up on it. Certainly is bad timing for the Prez, and the country.

Wonder if this is how the Russians feel

The Russians know better than to make that kind of statement outside of a running shower stall.

I thought it was a huge story...this is a smoking gun that we returned to the perpetrator of the crime.

In a sane world, these guys and their ilk are grounds for an invasion of Iran.

In Obama's world, they are just mis-understood pawns. I know these idiots see this as an 'Olive Branch' and part and parcle to the idea of negotiating with our most trenchant enemies.

198 maddogg, that pushes me over the line. I was once denied entry into a third-world shithole because my visa would have expired in 30days (like I planned on staying more then 48hrs.) by the wonderfully effiecient Delta ticket agents (actually did not allow me to check in to originating flight leg, with the final leg on another carrier). How did he even check in, much less get past the State and DHS guys,

In other news, Ashton Kutcher jumped out from behind the desk in the Oval Office, knocking over a now-lifeless President Obama puppet... we've been punk'd

Well if Kutcher was the President we would definitely have an appealling first lady....with the sound on the TV turned down that is.

Arhooley, just read your bio on your american Girl blog and have to say thank you for bringing a little light into an otherwise dismal week. You give me hope that more Americans will see the light (sorry for the cliche') and realize what Conservativism and Libertarianism has to offer.

Oh, the Dems are plenty tough and ruthless when it comes to stuffing ballot boxes, keying cars with GOP stickers, smearing Palin, hoping Rush perishes, and calling the tea partiers fascist extremists. They also have no qualms about leaving near-term babies on tables to die.

It's when they're faced with non-domestic enemies that they turn into creme puffs. Us wingnuts are the real threat to the universe, you see.

Doesn't he though? Imagine him leveling that stare at Teh One. Bambi would fill his panties. Palin, on the other hand, has had mean bears in her crosshairs before. They ended up draped over the living room sofa.

206 "Rookie "nice" Good Cop and experienced "mean" Bad Cop. Medvedev and Putin are nothing new."

I would imagine Medvedev plays good cop to Putin's bad cop because like most humans, he wants to still be breathing tomorrow morning. If there were really anything to any supposed split between the two of them, Medvedev would've already gotten the deluxe Rasputin treatment (poisoned, stabbed, shot, drowned and frozen...just to be sure).
