Look out, Al-Qaeda, because Barack Obama is about to send Winnie the Pooh to get medieval on your candy *ss!

Barack Obama aide: Why Winnie the Pooh should shape US foreign policy

Winnie the Pooh, Luke Skywalker and British football hooligans could shape the foreign policy of Barack Obama if he becomes US President, according to a key adviser.

Richard Danzig, who served as Navy Secretary under President Clinton and is tipped to become National Security Adviser in an Obama White House, told a major foreign policy conference in Washington that the future of US strategy in the war on terrorism should follow a lesson from the pages of Winnie the Pooh, which can be shortened to: if it is causing you too much pain, try something else.

Mr Danzig told the Centre for New American Security: "Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security."

Mr Obama's candidacy was given an early boost by his opposition to the Iraq war and he has repeatedly said the US needs to rethink its approach to the Middle East.

Mr Danzig spelt out the need to change by reading a paragraph from chapter one of the children's classic, which says: "Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump on the back of his head behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming down stairs. But sometimes he thinks there really is another way if only he could stop bumping a minute and think about it."

Mother of God.

Barack Obama is naive, inexperienced, dumb as a post, ultra-liberal, and he has advisors who are suggesting that we use Winnie the Pooh as a model for the war on terrorism.

Looking at these idiots is almost enough to make you want to build a bomb shelter in the back yard and stockpile food and gold...
