ONE MORE WORD

This really belongs in the Word Around the Net wrap up below, but I wanted to highlight it and give it attention all by its self. Remember when Hillary Clinton was declared the "smartest woman on earth" by the left and trumpeted as this brilliant scion of genius and leadership? Well Ms "overcharge button" has done it again:

People say to me all the time, what happened to Iran? ... When President Obama came in, he was very clear that he wanted to engage, and that's what he's been trying to do -- reaching out to the Iranian people, reaching out to the Iranian leadership. And you have to ask yourself, why, when so many experts thought that there would be a positive response to President Obama's outreach, has there not?

Golly, why are those radical, hate-filled extremist religious nuts in Iran not responding positively to a cringing, weak hand offering an olive branch? I just can't work that out. Its almost as if what President Bush said about the middle east is correct: they respond well to strength and have nothing but contempt for weakness. That the idea of "soft diplomacy" accomplishes nothing but humiliating the people attempting it.

Its almost as if the experts the US State Department under President Obama were listening to were pointy headed academic theoreticians who knew almost nothing of what they spoke and the previous administration was right all along. Nah. Couldn't be that.
