The New Diplomacy

Great. First Obama tells the Canadian he's happy to be in Iowa, then he gives British PM Gordon Brown a chilly reception. He welshes on a commitment for a missile shield for Ukraine and allows a Senator to blow the cover on secret ops in Pakistan without a reprimand. He cooperates in consigning the people of the Swat region of Pakistan to living under Sharia law.

Not to worry. He's making up for it by dropping sanctions on Syria, bribing them to stay out of Lebanon and asking for their help in reasoning with Iran. He's giving $900 B to those thugs in Gaza. And he's welshing on that US commitment to Ukraine in order to wheedle some cooperation out of Putin.

Looks more profitable to be an enemy of the US than a friend.

UPDATE: The agreement in which the imposition of Sharia law was exchanged for peace in the Swat region has already been broken as militants in the region fired on government troops today. I'm so surprised. Really.
