The Collapsing Obama Doctrine; "Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many."

 

Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney  ... "On a trip to the Middle East this spring, we heard a constant refrain in capitals from the Persian Gulf to Israel, "Can you please explain what your president is doing?" "Why is he walking away?" "Why is he so blithely sacrificing the hard fought gains you secured in Iraq?" "Why is he abandoning your friends?" "Why is he doing deals with your enemies?"

"In one Arab capital, a senior official pulled out a map of Syria and Iraq. Drawing an arc with his finger from Raqqa province in northern Syria to Anbar province in western Iraq, he said, "They will control this territory. Al Qaeda is building safe havens and training camps here. Don't the Americans care?"

"Our president doesn't seem to. Iraq is at risk of falling to a radical Islamic terror group and Mr. Obama is talking climate change. Terrorists take control of more territory and resources than ever before in history, and he goes golfing. He seems blithely unaware, or indifferent to the fact, that a resurgent al Qaeda presents a clear and present danger to the United States of America." ...

 

...The president explained his view in his Sept. 23, 2009, speech before the United Nations General Assembly. "Any world order," he said, "that elevates one nation above others cannot long survive." Tragically, he is quickly proving the opposite—through one dangerous policy after another—that without American pre-eminence, there can be no world order.

From David Horowitz:
"The chickens of Barack Obama's presidency are coming home to roost.

"Iraq is being taken over by jihadists — brutal lunatics who have conducted mass beheadings of their enemies in the towns they've conquered on the way to Baghdad. Even the New York Times admits they are worse than al Qaeda and they have left no doubts about their ultimate target: "See you in New York," their leader says.

"More than 3,500 U.S. military men and women died in Iraq to prevent this from happening. And now they will have died in vain, because the President — who tried to sabotage American troops even while he was in the Senate — has turned a blind eye to the terrorists' gains.

"There is only one word to describe Obama's policy in Iraq and that word is BETRAYAL.

"It is a harsh word, but it is an accurate one. The betrayal of America's security interests in the Middle East began with Obama's fellow Democrats back in 2003 when the war in Iraq was still winnable.
