"In Iraq, we see the promise of a multiethnic, multisectarian democracy. There, the Iraqi people have rejected the perils of political violence for a democratic process … Iraq is poised to play a key role in the region."
Wow, is this Barack O' Bush talking? I won't be surprised if his flunkies recreate George W. Bush's bullhorn speech next... with a fake Texan accent of course! Well keep trying, Obambi! You may pretend to grow some balls all of a sudden, you may even put on a cowboy hat - but you will never have Bush's swagger.
You can't fake that. Read the article below!
NEWS:Obama Channeling Bush's Mideast Doctrine
Charles Krauthammer
"It will be the policy of the United States to promote reform across the region, and to support transitions to democracy."
With this Barack Obama openly, unreservedly and without a trace of irony or self-reflection adopts the Bush Doctrine, which made the spread of democracy the key U.S. objective in the Middle East.
"We have a stake not just in the stability of nations, but in the self-determination of individuals."
A fine critique of exactly the kind of "realism" the Obama administration prided itself for having practiced in its first two years.
How far did this concession to Bush go? Note Obama's example of the democratization we're aiming for. He actually said:
"In Iraq, we see the promise of a multiethnic, multisectarian democracy. There, the Iraqi people have rejected the perils of political violence for a democratic process … Iraq is poised to play a key role in the region."
Hail the Bush-Obama doctrine.
