Breaking news…
I am going to try to write here regularly again. Probably weekly, probably posted on Sundays. Just an FYI for our readers.
Now, as to the issue of the day: A year or so ago, Vice President Biden predicted Obama would be tested on foreign policy in his first year in office. A few months ago, there was the Somali Pirate incident which Obama ordered our special forces to handle, and they did so, beautifully. That wasn’t the test Biden referred to.
I think today’s news is it. Iraq is reporting Iran has seized an Iraqi oil rig. Either Iran has done so, or Iraq is making false accusations, or this is all a set up. In any case, the whole area is a powder keg and this is a dangerous, dangerous thing that is happening.
I don’t know what the outcome will be, but we can only hope Obama handles it well. To make matters more difficult, I don’t even have a prediction of what “well” would be at this time.
Good luck, Mr. President.
