"Much of what has happened so far has been symbolic rather than substantive"
"Down to earth; In its relations with the world, America takes a sudden turn toward pragmatism" by Drake Bennett | February 8, 2009
.... In less than three weeks, the image that the country presents to the rest of world has been unmistakably altered....
Ha!! ONLY in the lying, biased, divisive, distorting, obfuscating, omitting, Muslim-hating, agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM!!!
Much of what has happened so far has been symbolic rather than substantive....
The administration will soon pressure Congress to approve a plan that triples economic aid to Afghanistan even as it keeps a closer eye on military assistance....
As if we have money to spare around here! Thanks for the CHANGE, bro!
Whether any of this actually happens, of course, depends not only on the still murky intentions of the new administration, but those of its international interlocutors. It also depends on the unexpected emergencies, at home and abroad, that are sure to arise.
You mean, something like this, to be blamed on them?
If the government of Pakistan collapses, or the still-fragile peace in Iraq disintegrates, or if North Korea implodes or Israel preemptively attacks Iran to stop its nuclear weapons program, the Obama administration will not have the luxury of picking its battles....
You KNOW where we are headed now, right?

Keep in mind that the preceding article was from an agenda-pushing globalist scitte sheet that said a depression would be a good idea; being poor is your fault; the financial crisis is the fault of American consumer; Boston business benefits from financial failings; financial failures are a good thing; that endless work and insecurity are a good thing; that these are the best of times; that this bear market is just like any other; that hunger is good business; has already told us what the Grand Depression of 2009 will look like; and thinks a nuclear war would be a good idea!
See you at the shit pit in the labor camp, Amurka (I say that with great fear and sadness)!!!!
