Retreat

I mentioned to my brother earlier this week that I didn't think we should be shadowing the North Korean ship suspected of carrying illegal arms. He was surprised and asked why. Because, I told him, I had little faith that the Obama administration would actually board the ship. Instead, we'd turn around and leave with our tail between our legs. So this then, from Ed Morrissey, comes as no surprise to me:

If the Obama administration didn’t see that threat coming from miles away, then they are even more clueless than I’d imagined. Instead of Obama looking tough, Kim has shown the world that he can bully the US into retreat at any time. He exposed Obama as a paper tiger.

Read the whole thing and then go pour yourself a stiff drink.
