It would seem the European leaders who once fawned over Barack Obama, aren't as willing to work with him now. Angela Merkel and Nicholas Sarkozy, to name but two, are not willing to go along with President Obama's plan, and Russia's Dmitry Medvedev didn't exactly appear willing to aid us in our endeavors as far as foreign policy are concerned. This is not a good way to begin a presidency. If he cannot get allies on board now how does he expect to get their assistance on other substantive issues such as Afghanistan?
In other news a judge in Washinton, D.C. has said detainees held in Afghanistan have a right to question their detainment in US courts. Much like the Gitmo case of last year, this does not bode well for American security. If detainees cn question their detainment they put our ability to fight the GWOT at risk. Luckily, the Obama administration is fighting this, but who knows if it will work considering the precedent that's been started.
