WTF DAY?

PERHAPS OCTOBER 9 should be designated as national Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Day, so each year we can commemorate the day almost all Americans had the same reaction on learning who won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Naamyohorengekyoo—woof!

Abject surrender

IN THE face of a growing North Korean threat, we cut back the deployment of ground-based interceptors there from 44 to 30. In the face of an imminent Iranian threat, we have scrapped this successful system altogether. This is an abject surrender to the former Soviet Union and appeasement of the worst kind.

The bottom line is that this administration went eyeball to eyeball with the Russians, and this time it was America that blinked.

The Euro switcheroo and ignoring Japan

THE EUROPEAN switcheroo continues Mr. Obama's trend of courting adversaries while smacking allies. His Administration has sought warmer ties with Iran, Burma, North Korea, Russia and even Venezuela. But it has picked trade fights with Canada and Mexico, sat on trade treaties with Colombia and South Korea, battled Israel over West Bank settlements, ignored Japan in deciding to talk with North Korea, and sanctioned Honduras for its sin of resisting the encroachments of Venezuela's Hugo Chávez.

No, I did not. You?
