The thing I wonder is if Obama himself lives in his little disconnected fantasy world or if he knows what he is doing. I am leaning towards the former.

I'm leaning towards the latter. The international Left wants nothing more than to see America weakened, humbled, and prostrate before the UN.

There's a whole bunch of those Chandoo brothers, Gerard. Two are major fundraisers for Obama, and another (also a fundraiser) lives in Karachi, where he's active in politics. Seeing as how Obama's a "pay to play" kind of guy, his interest in Pakistan might just be valid...it's just not very clear whose interest that is.
