Midknight Review -- new and revised: Newsweek represents the Left in its disgust for Obama's speech, yesterday. Just before the midterms, he has burned the immigration bridge and the Utopian Peace prize cherished by his Left Wing base.

The following is a cut and past of a Newsweek article published today. They hated Obama's speech of yesterday.

Somalia and Yemen are successes? Good lord. At least when Bill Clinton famously pointed to Bangladesh as an economic model for micro businesses, he had a point, albeit one that seemed jaw-dropping at the time. It’s not that anyone expects Somalia and Yemen to be Swiss-like after hearing from our drones and special forces. But Somalia is utterly chaotic and Yemen is still terrorist rich. We haven’t destroyed any groups there, only clipped them at times which barely counts as degrading their organizations.

A broad-based coalition? Let’s see . . . . . Maybe John Kerry will work a miracle, but this coalition [a total of 9, to date], even with encouraging signals from the Saudis, feels more like George W. Bush’s than his father’s. [Only problem with this last comment is found in the fact that Bush's coalition totalled 48 nations, with 37 putting "boots" on the ground ~ blog editor].

The myth of moderates we can support. [Newsweek does not believe there are any moderates remaining, in this present Middle Eastern distress].

What Iraqi Army? Um, we just spent countless dollars to train the Iraqi army for the past ten years. And what did it get us? A force that collapsed when ISIS rolled across Iraq.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
