Democrats: U.S. has lost global standing
The United States has lost its global standing during George W. Bush's presidency and needs a Democratic commander in chief to restore America's place in the world, Democrats running for the White House said Saturday.
My comment: These observations are obviously candidate’s rhetoric. US role is always at the top and the White House wannabes fully realized that. Belittling that fact would of course make their rhetoric shine, albeit with mediocrity
. "We are today internationally and domestically a nation that is no longer a leader," said New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, one of three candidates to address a convention of the South Carolina Democratic Party.
My comment: This perception of Richardson is indicative retrograde mentality. He creates a make-believe vacuum and puts himself in position to fill it. Crustacean outlook, to say the least.
Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, the 2004 vice presidential nominee, said the world needs to see that "America can be a force for good."
"What their perception is that America is a bully and we only care about our short-term interests," Edwards said. "The starting place is to end the bleeding sore that is the war in Iraq."
My comment: Edwards is on delusion trip of the gentle giant. Fact is America always operates on a position of strength, mistaken for a bully. A nation can not be great by allowing itself as other nations ‘ doormat.
Richardson, Edwards and Delaware Sen. Joe Biden said they would make ending the war a priority.
"The American people are looking for us as Democrats," said Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "They're looking for someone literally, not figuratively, to restore America's place in the world."
Biden said the country's other problems cannot be solved until the U.S. successfully deals with Iraq.
My comment: Operations in Iraq with a timetable for withdrawal is SURRENDER, pure and simple, far from SUCCESSFULly dealing with the problem. Biden betrays his rhetoric here – ‘literally, not figuratively’

You ought to get out more. Travel some. Just a few capitals in Europe. Take a measure of America's diminished prestige and standing in the world since the war criminals took over the White House. Get out more.
It comes with reason that a tree laden with fruit is very tempting for passersby to throw rocks at. If Russia or the Philippines happen to be that tree, many will throw rocks at it just the same.
US need not kowtow to opinions of muslim caliphates or third world countries who try to romanticaize their low position at the totem pole to manipulate world opinion. Once the US succumbs to such manipulation, the countrry will lose it self esteem.
