 Main Iraq Error: US in 2008 had leverage to obligate an invite from weak incipient Iraqi government, which US support empowered into being, or leave (less than happy) for the overall effort but still having declared mission completed. Bush Jr did not do so. 3 years later the US got the boot. Question: what mission was completed?
Also, you are forgetting the 2 worst foreign policies by a sitting president in US history:
1) the public chastising of Mubarak over "having not done enough." Mubarak was a 35 year (ally might be too strong) associate of the US. His function as gatekeeper East & West makes him arguably the single most important person regards world prosperity over that period. Current POTUS found declared using a Bill Ayers critique that this contribution was inadequate. No strategic rational regards the US and world economics was provided.
2) the very next day, POTUS declared (and this was not in response to a question) that the Muslim Brotherhood had the best organization on the ground. POTUS failed to consider that his statement as the President of the United States functions as a defacto endorsement of that group and all groups that share its views. In a public game of checkers, you can't take a move back. What US strategy was implemented?
Let's pretend the answer is the Arab Spring. Libya can now be seen for what it was - a table clearing exercise endorsed by POTUS for the benefit of Islamic foundamentalism throughout the region whether this be cloaked in democracy or not. That Islam is the main event and not democracy is given by the fact that just after start of Libya civil war, POTUS listed 6 or 7 reasons the US was interested in Middle East. Neither democracy nor the spread of democracy made the list. That Obama back in 2005 declared that the most beautiful sound in the world is Islam's call to prayer in a Muslim city should thus now surprise no one. Let's try from this point on to keep things forward looking, however, shall we. What does a Muslim lapdog POTUS do next?
He destroys the United States fiscally, ethically, morally. Argument - Acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. His womanizing, Harvard dropout father, no paragon himself but rather failed finance minister of Kenya, was and will remain at the end of the day in fact the better man (such as that was). The two trade ideas of restraint with Barack Obama on the losing end - he's got restraint for a picture only - and the whole world suffers from the incompetance and fall out. That in his first book, Barack Obama never encounterd his father as a womanizing, Harvard dropout, failed finance minister only points to the fact that current POTUS is utterly untethered from decorum, normalcy, civility regards the place, time, and prestige of his office. There is no turn off limits, no maneuver off the table - there is no politics in an American sense, because there ultimately is no care for America at all.
Barack Hussein Obama - here's a man:
1) campaigned and won an election in part on his non-support of the war (as a man without a vote on the matter)
2) refused to cut funding for the war in 2005 (a matter of public voting record). Instead while the senior senator from Illinois (Durbin) was in tears on the senate floor trying to end the conflict, the junior senator (for a day) declared he would wait for the ROI. Can anyone recall Barack Obama's ROI for the Iraq War
3) Having the US withdrawal from theater as part of a campaign promise when vote as senator could have taken to end the war - this is not an ROI. Why? Because POTUS, ROI means Return On Investment. You did not invest in either the war or its timely end. You found an end timed to your re-election paint by color politics.
Barack Husssein Obama - a man who believes the United States is his lapdog.
So up to three lapdogs. One is Obama POTUS before Islam. The other is the United States as posited and treated by POTUS. The third is the kind of American who still finds way to ignore the first two. But what does it all mean? Only this - nothing good is going to happen to the United States as long as current president is in the White House. If that seems over the top, naysayer, just keep the score. If your honest you'll track little events of significance like the bankruptcy of Harrisburg PA et al, but if not, then when you have but a single item to present - feel free. Is there a single item post 3/11 in support of the current president? Can there be any in the future? I bet my money only on the answer being in the negative. Commented 4570 days ago |
