Independent Sentinel On October 30, 2008, presidential nominee Barack Obama, with the polling winds strongly at his back claimed, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” There are few who could argue he did everything possible to fulfill that brazen, oft times divisive promise; obvious failures be damned."Perhaps there were no more clearly measurable foul-ups than those centered on Obama’s “leading from behind” transformation of America’s foreign policy.
"Iran- In spite of the fact that sanction ravaged country was in a dramatically weakened state, and their “navy” had buzzed U.S. ships, kidnapping our sailors, Obama spent years bargaining against himself and the best interests of the American people. Eventually, he capitulated, almost completely, on almost every major, national security, negotiating point. As a special bonus, Barack dropped $1.7 billion cash into the coffers of the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism.
"Iraq- Obama, ignoring the warnings of his top military advisors, withdrew all U.S. troops, leaving a void quickly filled by a murderous ISIS caliphate. When our fighting men and women were forced to return they were hamstrung by Barack’s suffocating “rules of engagement”.
"Syria- After President Obama’s feeble “red line” threat against their use of chemical weapons was exposed as a fraud he petitioned Russia to intervene. Putin seized that gift and quickly allied himself and Russian forces with the murderous dictator Bashar Al-Assad. Shortly thereafter, Vladimir signed a sweetheart deal allowing Russia to expand and use the naval facility at the Syrian city of Tartus, free of charge. The freebie warm water port was a geopolitical coup for the Kremlin." . . .
