The 300

Statesman-in-training Barry Obama has assembled a group of foreign policy advisors that rivals the cast of The Ten Commandments. A group of 300 talking heads have been put together to tell Barry what to think and say. Basically, it’s a bureaucracy within a bureaucracy.

Is this a surprise? It shouldn’t be, given Barry’s frightening lack of foreign policy acumen. But, of course, that didn’t stop him from making a bold statement about withdrawing all U.S. troops from Iraq within 16 months of the beginning of his presidency.

What will happen when Barry and the Obamaniacs journey to Iraq in the near future? Will he acknowledge the progress, both military and civic, that has been made in the last year?

In 480 B.C. 300 Spartans held the Persian army, which was estimated to number over 200,000, at bay for 3 days in Thermopylae. I doubt that Barry’s 300 have the same mettle as those Spartans. After all, a Spartan warrior was trained to destroy his enemy, not appease it.
