And yet all this is lost on Obama's 50,000,000 voters, making one fear for this nation's destiny. TD
Warning Signs
The Saudi King Salman -among others-begs off Obama's conference
. . . " As far as
the Middle East is concerned, Obama seems to have no idea of the history or the
dynamics that affect all the actions there. His Secretary of State, Kerry, is
no better. He met with Arab officials last Friday and they told him they want a
defense treaty in the event they were attacked by “external forces”, something
that the Congress will not approve so long as Obama is in the White House."
. . .
"Writing in
The New York Times on May 8, Jonathan Schanzer, vice president of the
Foundation for Defense of Democracies, put it bluntly, “It doesn’t matter what
these politicians think now or have said in in the past. Peace between Israel
and the Palestinians is not happening in the next two years.” That’s how long
we all have to wait until Obama leaves office."
. . .
“ 'The
Israelis look around the Middle East and see nothing but conflict, carnage,
instability and danger,” said Schanzer. “The Obama doctrine—which includes a
deliberate contraction of American power in the Middle East—has undeniably made
Israel less safe.”
It has
made the U.S. and the world less safe too." . . .

How Obama’s Made Sure to Leave Every Part of the World More Dangerous than He Found It . . ."Alas, seven years later, a seemingly endless stream of apologies,
attempts to placate the world’s miscreants, and inappropriate stabs at
moral equivalency are primary components of a spectacularly failed U.S.
foreign policy. Seems the “cowboy” Bush and all those opportunistic
militarists at the Pentagon are not the reason so many bad guys take
issue with the U.S. Similarly, the infamous time-dishonored plea for
time regarding negotiations with Russia speaks to a comfortable
familiarity with weak negotiating positions. With regard to Putin,
“flexibility” can be read as “I have to look tough now, but just wait
until I’m safely elected to a second term — then I’ll feel free to cut a
deal — any deal.” . . .
