Has Obama's apology and diplomacy tactics yielded anything but disrespect?
Just curious. North Korea has fired off more missiles under Obama's few months than under Bush's 8 years. Clinton is urging North Korea to join talks once again, like it might actually have an effect when we ask for the 100th time. Iran laughs at Obama and continues on with its nuclear development. I just want to know one single positive thing that has come from being diplomatic and apologetic to enemy nations. The big negative IMO is that we appear weak, and that rogue psychopaths will take advantage of Obama's toothlessness by ratcheting up their military capabilities and hostilities.

Nope.
Actually it has yielded a lot more. It has emboldened our enemies, it has made us appear to be a spineless nation with no real leadership, it will lead to more attacks against us in the future, it is leading our few allies in the Middle East to discredit us (Israel).

We're in a lot more danger of an attack, but other countries and the U.N. like us so much more than they used to.

I remember when Jimmy dumbass Carter was president. The Iranians were holding a bunch of Americans hostage. Carter tried a helicopter rescue in the desert but it was badly botched and hence was a dismal failure. They kept those people until just before newly elected President Reagan took office. At that point, all were released. Why? It was because they knew Carter could be kicked around and would do nothing. However, they also knew that Reagan would apply some swift whoopass. Therein lies the difference. I'll tell you what kind of diplomacy these idiots understand.....it's this kind...

Several US presidents wussed out and allowed North Korea to develop nuclear weapons. Clinton and Bush sent oil and food to North Korea. That food and oil went to the North Korean army, of course. Yep, Bush made a big deal out of calling North Korea part ot his "axis of evil." Then he kissed their butts and removed North Korea from the terror list.
Seven months after Bush cut a deal with North Korea, the little pipsqueak that Bushmade his unholy deal with is threatening the US with nuclear weapons. Yep, thatGod awful black man who dared to replace our anointed one is responsible for all of it.
RE: Has Obama's apology and diplomacy tactics yielded anything but disrespect?
I don't agree with that, The mistake was made many years ago when just like Vietnam, we did a half ass job and left the problem for someone else. It is no more Bush'e doing than that of any president since the Korean war. Bush would look Damn good to me about now as would Clinton or even Carter. Hell even Dooley Do Right would be a vast improvement.

The North Koreans were not going to do anything really rash while Condi Rice and Bush werepromising to renew food and petroleum aid and were negotiating to remove NK from the terror watch list if little pipsqueak would just behave for awhile.

It was Bush II who removed North Korea from the terror watch list against the advice of many conservative Republican politicians.
