Foreign Policy Flubs
From ISIS to Yemen, from Iran to Netanyahu, it's clear that Barack Obama's efforts on the foreign stage are failing.
Let's start with ISIS.
Earlier this week in his State of the Union address, Obama said the
following: "In Iraq and Syria, American leadership, including our
military power, is stopping ISIL's advance."
It's difficult to understand exactly how Obama arrived at this conclusion when just today we see ISIS threatening with a countdown the beheading of Japanese hostages. Just last week, ISIL had hacked into CENTCOM's social media network.
It's hard to see just how President Obama is defining "success" in the
battle with ISIL but I think it's clear we haven't reached a victory
yet. |

Remember Who Your Friends Are
The White House is beside itself, livid over the invitation extended by
House Speaker John Boehner to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
to address Congress on the issue of Iran and Islamic extremism.
President Obama has decided to snub Netanyahu
when he comes to visit. The administration says that Netanyahu's visit
comes too close to his upcoming election in Israel and that there is a
policy against receiving foreign leaders close to their elections.
Or perhaps Obama is too busy ... too busy, for example, because he is being interviewed by YouTube stars with green lipstick who make off-color jokes.
This is absurd. This administration has sunk to a new low. We need
leadership. We need a statesman. America's image and clout throughout
the world is quickly waning.
We have two more years of Obama's presidency. Let's just hope that
things don't progress far enough to where they reach the point of no
return. |
