"...the tangy metallic kiss of US leadership"

Yahssuh...

The One has a whole different schtick than Der Decider, but he still manages to get facts wrong to please his audience.

Meanwhile, the Company's plan is working, sez the Company:

WASHINGTON — Leon E. Panetta, the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, said Wednesday that the agency’s campaign against militants in Pakistan’s tribal areas was the “most effective weapon” the Obama administration had to combat Al Qaeda’s top leadership.



The C.I.A. in recent months has intensified its covert campaign of missile attacks in the tribal areas, carrying out more than 30 strikes against Qaeda and Taliban leaders from drone aircraft. Mr. Panetta stopped short of directly acknowledging the missile strikes, but he said that “operational efforts” focusing on Qaeda leaders had been successful.

“It is for that reason that the president and the vice president and everyone else supports continuing that effort,” he said...


Everyone that's anyone, agrees.



We're still winning, hearts, minds, and livers in Iraq, while we're breaking necks, too:

BAGHDAD — Twenty-eight members of a Shiite messianic cult responsible for brutal attacks on Shiite pilgrims in Iraq were sentenced to death on Thursday, said an official from the federal court in Dhi Qar Province...


I'm glad the new policies are all based on Hope.



If they weren't so warm and fuzzy I'd think someone was up the same old bait and switch with more than a little of the steel cold smash and grab.
