So on the verge of a Ballyhooed Great Global Foreign Tour, Barry Obama's foreign policy creds do not look promising

not that McLoon's do, but hey, we talking about Da Man with the magic touch, the man who is supposed to Heal the World and bring world peace and prosperity and bountifulness and vegetables that heal the body and all the rest of it.

We dont share anybody's optimism that Barry Obamba is gonna win anything, we still think the White Wassist vote gonna hand it to McLoon.

We happy the media stars all hopping on planes to accompany Obamba and we sure hope everyone stays safe becoz a lot of places they going may not be safe. Including Berlin and the Brandenburg Gate and we already said on MinnieB9 that the Germans who balking at the Brandenburg Gate are looking petty and wassist, excepting Angela Merkel, who looking chubby and jealous that nobody asked her to speak on the National Mall and excepting Erwin Huber, whose only claim to fame is that he defeated the spectacular babe Gabriele Pauli for the leadership of the CSU. Erwin looks like a classic retro doof who wanna know why the black guy should speak at Brandenburg Gate and like we all says, why not.

Soccer fans go there, Bbc goes there, DW goes there, everyone on a soapbox goes there, but Erwin Huber thinks he owns the Brandenburg Gate and that since he defeated Gabriele Pauli, he is a rock star, well, he still looks like white wassist retro dude. What can we say.

Obamba on the other hand looks like a sprout eating dweeb. Dont get us wrong, we nothing against vegetables, that is a whole separate topic on how we are thrilled he eats vegetables and plans to introduce vegetables to the Democratic convention in Denver. This may be the first time the City of Denver has seen so many vegetables foods in one place, just kidding.

But Foreign Policy is a whole nuther thang and we just found out to our hilarity that Solemn Bambi has 300 peeps on his Foreign Policy team.

Yeah and I suspect that he wishes for more grandiosity and grandstanding and less common sense and if the recent past is any indication, his grandiosity will immediately be followed by dancing backward and artifulness and wiggling.

all of which is not promising.

But even more unpromising is his lack of clarity and lack of honesty on Africa.
I dont recall him grandstanding on Kenya riots for instance, when this was one stable and prosperous country and should have been expected to have a routine change of power when the election rolled that way, but instead resulted in carnage.

I dont recall him grandstanding on Zimbabwe.
I dont recall him grandstanding on Mbeki.

I dont recall Jesse Jackson or Eleanor Holmes or John Conyers taking strong stands either.

But now I am concerned they will start taking a stand on Darfur.

We have already been treated to George Clooney and the black actor guy who did the Rwanda movie and Mia Farrow and the irate columnist Kristof from NYT jumping up and down shrieking That's Genocide.

We recognize Genocide quite well and dont wanna be debating it necessarily, but to us it looks like a vicious tribal war. We know what happens in vicious tribal wars and wanna know why the guys who refuse to show up for the peace treaties are given a pass on forcing children to fight in their war and raping, pillaging, arsoning and kidnapping and killing UN and african peacekeepers.

We concerned that between hysterical columnists and shallow celebrities and Obamba's grandiose tendencies, this trend will continue.

We also concerned, he will just lead stand offs against China and Russia, without getting anything done. Sticking a finger in their eye as Maarti Harison and the US and the UK did on Kosovo, just stuck a finger in the Russian eye to get spite on them without solving the geopolitical problem of helping them all get along and preserving the rights of Serbs for their patrimony and ancestral heritage was a stupid and counter productive idea.

Now Africa looks like the same ball game, where Susan Rice, Obamba and a bunch of lefties look like they plan to get all self righteous and grandiose and poke a finger in China's eye to make a point, which they think will be appreciated by Petrobras, the Brazilian big oil company and Exxon and Chevron.

Well lemme tell ya, that it is counter productive as well as misguided, becoz the other side is vicious killers and rapists and becoz China and Russia are very good at sticking a finger back and most of all, becoz it is wrong.

And finally lemme tell ya this, all their grandstanding and ballyhoo is built on the blood of peacekeepers and if the grandstanders dont give a fig about them, lemme tell ya, some folks like us do.

And we will tell the peacekeepers who mostly come from poor countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and work for the equivalent of $1000 a month and get killed and sent home in body bags, becoz grandstanders conveniently ignore the killers on their side, that you are being killed becoz stupid and shallow people prefer to grand stand than solve problems. Your life is worth nothing to them. They have not once come to show you any sympathy. They talk about recruiting 10 000 of you and planting you in the middle of a vicious multi tribal ethnic war becoz they wanna look like righteous heros.

This is tough and you think about it before you volunteer.
Stay home.
Let Barry Obamba and Susan Rice and Kristof figure out their own foreign policy, with or without the 300 member team and in front of the Brandenburg Gate.

Bad foreign policy gets even more people killed. Grandiosity is not a substitute for ending wars.

Bye bye
