COMMENTARY: Obama Blows a Call
By Rich Galen

My fear is, we will have expended another couple of hundreds of billions of dollars and people who don't like us will be in charge and we'll be paying $5.50 for a gallon of regular by September. I don't have any better suggestions as to what course we should be following than Co-President Hillary Clinton has already decided upon, but I'm pretty sure the first airplane dropping the first bomb would have been from an Islamic nation, not France.
