Who's not ready for primetime?

Raise your hand high, Obama:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told a French magazine in an interview that if he wins office, he will hold a summit with Muslim countries to better the United States' image in the world.

"Once I'm elected, I want to organize a summit in the Muslim world, with all the heads of state, to have an honest discussion about ways to bridge the gap that grows every day between Muslims and the West," Thursday's edition of Paris Match quoted Obama as saying.

A summit? Why, I can feel the change happening already!

Hat-tip NFP.

Mmm, didn't an allegedly conservative President just try something like that? You know, in some Maryland city? Because if basically everyone ignores the Israelis isn't it the same thing?

Just sayin', but all Obama's suggesting is the same failed policies that we've seen coming out of Foggy Bottom since at least the end of the Cold War. If that, by itself, doesn't make him ready for Prime Time...well, then we don't have anybody ready for Prime Time.

Wait, I just described the '08 race, didn't I?

So, wait, you don't think this will work? ... but if we just diplomacy all the bad people away, we can get back to serious things, like freezing foreclosures until we don't have an economy anymore.

I think this is more of the "business as usual" plank rather than the "change" plank in Obama's platform.

The last thing that Muslim countries want to see is Hussein Obama as President.

Almost all Muslims hate Al Qaide because of their obsession with blowing up women and children in Iraq and most other Muslim countries. Muslim leaders see Al Qaide as a major threat to their power.

Hussein Obama has consistently taken Al Qaide's side all his public life. He wants to stop the War on Terror and cut and run in Iraq. Obama is a major threat to any peace prospects in the Middle East.

"The last thing that Muslim countries want to see is Hussein Obama as President."

Actually, they crave four more years of the same.

Could radical Islam have possibly imagined an administration as beneficial to their objectives as the Bush Crime Family?

Well, hashfanatic, I guess this administration has delivered more virgins (in handy 72 count packages) to Islamic radicals than any other in history, so I suppose you have a point.

Yeah, Hashie. I'm sure Zawahiri is somewhere thanking Allah for the great success of the plan they had for destroying the American army in Afghanistan and getting rid of the governments of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Jordan. Oh wait...
