| 31. Perhaps Obama is not particularly overbearing in jingoistic rhetoric - |
|
but consider his actions. We've been reminded that he's hardly been in office a few months so we shouldn't expect much, but in that time he has relocated Guantanamo to Bagram, ramped up troops in Afghanistan, and fired missiles at Pakistan. And now we are fighting "pirates" at sea? What are we to make of these actions?
