Obama's scandals later; right now lets discuss the Obama leadership in the world

Brit Hume on Obama's Silence Strategy: "A Good way to Duck, but Not a Good Way to Lead"

 

The Good and Bad of Obama’s Counterterrorism Strategy "Finally, the president curiously omitted any reference to America's efforts to prevent terrorist groups from acquiring weapons of mass destruction – a pillar of America's efforts in the Global War on Terror since President George W. Bush's 2002 State of the Union address . As North Korea continues to increase the size and effectiveness of its own nuclear arsenal, and terror-sponsoring Iran draws perilously close to obtaining nuclear weapons-making capability, the United States must work to actively thwart the nuclear ambitions of rogue nations."

The course President Barack Obama has set may lead to a direct war with Iran  "Because it is transparently obvious that U.S. assistance is are too little, too late and will pose no real deterrent, it seems that the main purpose of the aid is not to help the rebels win but to increase pressure on rebel groups to join multilateral peace talks."

 

US News; Obama's Absentee Foreign Policy   "There have been some actions taken, like the use of military force in Libya, but even that appears to have been more of an accident, a distraction if you will, than something growing out of a well thought out tactical and strategic vision. Even the Clinton administration had a more muscular foreign policy than the current occupant of the White House."

Finally, does he care that he seems not to care?"

 The U.S. has tragically misplayed Syria  "It has only succeeded in weakening the moderates in the Free Syrian Army (FSA..."

A Half-Measure in Syria  

This president’s foreign policy seems to be oriented around not letting it get in the way of his domestic and political priorities — more action in Syria will require expending political capital, risking mistakes, angering some of his domestic allies and some of his opponents, too, but there are also costs to inaction that starts to look impotent (and to letting Assad gain the upper hand again). So the administration tries to make it look like they’re doing something, without doing anything

 

Obama Doctrine: America Allies with Muslim Brotherhood to Promote Middle East ‘Stability’  "Two and a half years ago, who would ever have thought that the United States would enter an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood? There were hints in President Barack Obama’s Cairo speech, yet now it is clear that this is the new basis for regional security sought by the Obama administration."

Jennifer Rubin; Obama’s multiple national security untruths  "In foreign policy, the credibility problem plagues him. Consider all the things Obama has asserted that simply aren’t true:"....
