Keep friends close, enemies closer

From Powerline: "Paul's column in today's Examiner applies the Godfather's adage--keep your friends close and your enemies closer--to President Obama's foreign policy. Getting close to our enemies has been no problem for Obama, but he seems to have forgotten the first part of the injunction, as his administration has systematically distanced itself from, and placed itself in opposition to, our friends--Great Britain, Israel and India...

"Or perhaps, Obama sees himself as a philosopher king, a "neutral" who stands above the "usual politics" of favoring particular nations. From this lofty, ahistorical perch, it may be possible to view Britain as "the same as the other 190 countries in the world."
