New weapon in our war against radical Islam: "Strategic Patience"

This feckless president Obama has spent the past 6+ years blaming the previous administration for his own failures. If he just keeps voting "present" till 2017, Obama can live out his life blaming the next president for botching the foreign policy triumphs he passed on. TD 


Rick Moran: Forget 'lead from behind'; now we have 'strategic patience'
"President Obama released his new national security blueprint on Friday that was rehash of most of his previous policies.  He cited progress against the Islamic State and identified Russia as a major concern.

"But foreign policy experts are raising an eyebrow over the president's call for "strategic patience" and warning against American "overreach."
. . .
"This sort of inattentiveness to potential crises has been a hallmark of this administration since 2009.  It's no secret that the president would like foreign crises to go away so he can devote all his energies to transforming America.  We all had better hope that the world doesn't go to hell in the next two years."  Read more.

Obama's "strategic patience" draws criticism amid ISIS threat  . . . "The 29-page document is meant to serve as a blueprint for Obama's final two years in office. The strategy cast the U.S. as an indispensable force in combating global challenges -- including terrorism, climate change and cyber threats. ' . . . 

[Susan Rice] defended the administration's pursuit of a international negotiations to roll back Iran’s nuclear program: "We must give diplomacy a chance to finish the job," she said

The king of Jordan wasn't into "strategic patience"   "Swift Action vs. No Action; I applauded late last night when I heard the news that Jordan had executed by hanging two Islamic terrorists in retaliation for the horrific murder by fire of the pilot Mouath al-Kasaesbeh. Jordan didn't talk about measured responses, or restraint, or a backlash -- they took decisive action. It made Obama look even worse."

Jordan's hand is strengthened by not having Code Pink or Michael Moore in the country.
