President Obama's speech last week ahead of the NATO summit in Strasbourg, barely 500 miles from the beaches of Normandy, marked a low point in presidential speechmaking on foreign policy.

This time, however, it was not Christians being fed to the lions but the symbolism of U.S. power, as the president lashed out at America's "failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world." Obama bemoaned that "instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive." The Franco-German crowd also clapped mightily in approval and bayed for more when the president boasted of closing down the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, declaring that "without equivocation or exception that the United States of America does not and will not torture," as though his own country had been some sort of brutal tyranny that had suddenly seen the light with his election. It was a thoroughly distasteful attack on the previous administration's interrogation of extremely dangerous terror suspects, feeding into the very anti-Americanism that Obama had half-heartedly challenged earlier in his address. *Read the Full Story Here*<http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/2970954:3861596308:m:1:104600482:058FE67F11B5590813DD8E7D597888BC> This Week's Top Human Events Articles <http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/2970956:3861596308:m:1:104600482:058FE67F11B5590813DD8E7D597888BC> *5.

But on 9/11, America learned who Osama bin Laden was and that his declaration of war had been no idle threat. It is against this backdrop we must now examine a new threat made against the U.S. *Read the Full Story Here*<http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/2970957:3861596308:m:1:104600482:058FE67F11B5590813DD8E7D597888BC> <http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/2970958:3861596308:m:1:104600482:058FE67F11B5590813DD8E7D597888BC> *3. **Obama's Pentagon Cuts*.<http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/2970958:3861596308:m:1:104600482:058FE67F11B5590813DD8E7D597888BC> by W. Thomas Smith Jr. The unclassified version of the 2009 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) -- the U.S. Defense Dept.’s four-year strategy planning exercise -- has yet to be released.
