The abridged Bible story version:
King David spied Bathsheba on the roof top and lusted for her. He sent for her and got her pregnant.
Bathsheba’s husband, an officer in David’s army, brought David a message from the battlefield. Needing an opportunity to cover up their adultery, David offered Uriah, Bathsheba’s husband, an opportunity to sleep at home with his wife before returning to the battlefield. But, thinking of his men and fellow solders, Uriah declined the offer and returned to the battle without sleeping with Bathsheba.
Then David ordered his general to assign Uriah the most dangerous place on the battlefield - where he was subsequently killed.
Later, David took Bathsheba as his wife and she bore him a son. The Prophet Nathan rebuked David for his sins against Uriah. And God punished David.
The Obama version:
President Obama saw an opportunity to feel love from more people around the world by winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
He lusted for the Prize and for the love of many people, so he dithered over sending requested reinforcements to Afghanistan. Without additional troops to implement the counter-insurgency strategy, greater numbers of American solders will likely die.
It’s said President Obama may wait until after the consummation of the Nobel award ceremony to announce his decision on the requested reinforcements.
David killed one honorable man to satisfy his lust; Obama’s lust may kill hundreds.
