Legal Insurrection observes:
…There have been many comparisons of Barack Obama to Jimmy Carter, focused on the economy. But the continuing leak of documents by Wikileaks has become for Obama what the Iranian hostage crisis was to Carter.
The Wikileaks folks trot the globe with impunity and funnel documents to the press at will, for the purpose of damaging U.S. relations with other countries, our war efforts, and our intelligence capability. And we do almost nothing about it…
According to the linked article, we did send a letter – asking Wikileaks, pretty please, to not release the data. A more forceful, do-it-and-we’ll-kill-you letter might have been better, but didn’t seem to commend itself to the Obama Administration.
The world is a serious place full of people who want to do real things – the Obama Administration is a world of make-believe in which the mindless drivel of ill educated yet credentialed elites is taken as absolute and acted upon in spite of all evidence to the contrary. Enemies out there want our blood. Supposed friends want to use us for their own purposes. Our few real allies wonder if we’ll be there when push comes to shove. And here’s Obama, who will “condemn in the strongest terms”, but won’t actually do anything.
If we’re lucky, by 2012 it will only be as bad as 1980 for us.
