Clearly, the Administration is tired of the constant criticism as relates to its failed international policy.

goodstrongf what this president has done in terms of peaceful diplomatic engagement, rather than quick trigger, deploying troops, starting or engaging in a war of choice.” ~ Kerry in our video presentation.  

Editorial notes:  And what is the end result of this New Age,  Harvard brand,  diplomacy?  Iran is well on its way to a nuclear weapon.  Syria has killed 170,000 of its own citizens,  Iraq has been lost to the IS,  which Obama armed during the first year of the Syrian conflict,  Libya is thoroughly destabilized,  Egypt's authority has been severely downgraded,  Boko Haram is running wild and on the loose in parts of North Africa,  Russia has taken Crimea and is working on the same in Eastern Ukraine, and the Afghan War is a not-so-funny joke,  and embarrassment,  the Russian reset is an unmitigated failure,  NATO is feckless and without leadership, Hamas has been enabled,  "sanctions" have been a demonstrable failure in several venues world wide,  and hiding behind NATO and "international investigations" has proven nothing in terms of world peace and conflict resolution -  all of this and more, quantifies the sad state of affairs that is the direct result of the Obama Diplomatic Policy.  

The only question we need to ask this blow hard (John Kerry) :  "Why is this administration the only voice in this world touting Obama's successes?"

Keep in mind that it was John Kerry,  coming back from Viet Nam to become a politician, who slandered our troops and his soldier buds before Congress, throwing his medals away for the sake of a photo-op and then  retrieving those medals when no one was looking.  As a Senator,  he was one of the sponsors of the Affordable Housing Act (2005),  a piece of legislation credited as the  primnary cause of the 2008 recession.  

Obama's foreign policy or lack thereof, is dangerous and threatens our national future. Iran is living proof. Today we learn that this rogue nation has doubled its nuclear centrifuges.

Thanks to The Right Perspective

<<<  Did you know that Saudi Arabia has approved of Israel attacking Iran,  while Obama is busy revealing Israeli attack plans?

The IAEA [today 8/30/12]  is telling us that Iran has doubled its count of centrifuges located in what is feared to be  an impenetrable underground [Fox News].  The only people who believe that Obama has a vibrant foreign policy are those who either hate colonial America or are completely uninformed. 

He cut and ran from Iraq,  meddled in Egyptian politics,  backstabbing Mubarak and opening the door to a complete,  Muslim Brotherhood takeover of that country when,  before the Backstabbing,  such was not in the cards.  He defended his interference in Libya,  bragging that he responded in under 30 days while sitting on his hands for 18 months,  watching more than 30,000 Syrians,  mostly innocent civilians,  butchered by the their president.  

And,  last December,  he began a 10 day,  four million dollar vacation courtesy of the American taxpayer, on the very weekend Iran charged its first nuclear reactor. 

His wife has taken 17 vacations costing  millions and millions of taxpayer dollars.  As a First Couple,  they have consumed more caviar than any first couple in our history and conducted more after-hours White House parties (approaching an unbelievable 3,000 in total) than any of his predecessors. 

Obama has made more televised speeches than all presidents since and including FDR,  combined  (726 such speeches in the first year).   Understand that this is significant to this point:  he will have spent less than 9 months,  sitting on his butt,  in governance,  out of the 48 months he has pretended to be president. 

Think about this:  how long would it take you to play 110 rounds of golf (18 to 36 holes),  especially when you are terrible at the game?  Are we talking about three months???  Three months of doing absolutely nothing but playing games. 

Point of post:  just to remind the reader of the fact that Barack Obama is the most prolific “do nothing” we have ever had in office of President.  

As to Obama revealing Israeli attack plans, I specifically have in mind Obama exposing the arrangement between Turkey and Israel,  giving Israel a staging base close enough to Iran to make its attack wholly viable.  Traitorous.  At Foreign Policy,  last March,  we were told of this circumstance  --  the implicit result of an Administration intent on preventing an Israeli attack on Iran,  "leaking" information to the American press.

Update:  News from Yahoo:

 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday slammed the wide international participation at a Non-Aligned summit in Tehran as a "stain on humanity" following Iran's denial of Israel's right to exist.

"Today, over 120 countries are in Tehran, saluting a regime that not only denies the Holocaust but pledges to annihilate the Jewish state, brutalises its own people, colludes in the murder of thousands of innocent Syrians and leads millions in chanting 'Death to America, death to Israel'," he said.

"So many in the international community appear to have learned nothing. I think this is a disgrace and a stain on humanity," Netanyahu said in a statement.

Understand that Iran has called for a summit of 120 nations non-aligned with pro-Israeli pursuits.  So much for Obama’s brand of reprisals and his ridiculous claim of being the most pro-Israeli president in history.  .  

This Wall Street Journal headline tells the whole story regarding Obama's foreign policy strategies.

Barack Obama, Global Has-Been
The president would rather be loved than feared. He is neither

Obama teaching his 

enemy the handshake of “pals.”  

Editor's notes:  Anyone remember those interlocking handshakes with Hugo Chavez and the pretense that Obama was mending fences in South America?  Since then,  Chavez has crafted alliances with Iran and Russia,  acquiring more than 100 land to air missiles and 5 billion dollars to enhance its military. 

We should never forget that within months of taking office,  B Obama violated the missile defense treatise created with Poland and Czechoslovakia,  against the wishes of those two countries,  in the hopes of convincing Russia of our sincerity as to nuclear arms disarmament.  And what did he get for the continuing liberal fantasy?  A Russian government which has spent 740 billion dollars in the past three years on a new and revised airforce,  designed with the United States in mind.

He decided to “honor the sovereignty” of Iran as he ignored the pleadings of those in the Green Revolution:  “Come help us, Obama” were words on signs put onto the internet. 

He took a 10 day, four million dollar vacation to Hawaii, in December of 2011,  leaving on the very weekend  Iran charged its first nuclear reactor.   Today  (8/28/2012),  Iran has called a meeting of 120 “non-aligned” nations,  in stark contrast to any and all peace offerings coming from our Rogue President.   

His backstabbing diplomacy has turned Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood,  a diplomatic decision that threatens the balance of power in the Middle East and the very future of the State of Israel  --  not that Democrats care about any of this. 

While Bush won the war in Iraq,  it is very likely that Obama’s policies will find Iraq in allegiance with Iran before the end of this year. 

His war in Afghanistan is a very sad joke,  a losing effort from the moment that he (Obama) announced a deadline for an American military effort in that country,  an announcement well received,  no doubt,  by the Taliban.   Heck,  he even refused to define “victory” in that war and has put into place battlefield policies that put our troops in serious danger. 

Obama took the interrogation of captured terrorist away from the CIA and transferred this responsibility to the FBI,  thinking his military would Mirandize  battlefield captures.  As it turned out,  the FBI never installed the HIG (High Value Interrogation Groups) interrogation units. It took him a years just to sign the charter to create these units and there is no reason to believe that they have interrogated any terrorists.    This country no longer interrogates terrorists.  We either kill them in our drone attacks,  capture and release with our 72 hour policy,  or turn them over to foreign entities.  Sadly,   we know far less about terrorist plans today,  than we knew in 2002,  thanks to Obama’s terrorist strategies.

On Tuesday, Obama proved his instability when it comes to his failing foreign policy theory.

<<<<  You should know that Obama has ordered all Pentagon reports to be limited to 15 pages,  as if he is managing a group of little kids.  


Obama says Chavez is no problem.  Romney disagrees.  And I have the truth.

Since Obama has taken office,  he has set on the sidelines and watched Red China,  Russia and Iran forge major inroads into South America,  especially as relates to partnerships with Brazil,  Venezuela,  Argentina and Mexico.  Oil production in most of these countries is a key interest of our enemies, that and military arms and financing in Venezuela.  Understand that Russia has given Chavez 5 billion dollars for use on his military complex and in addition to its “gift” of  more than 100 land to air missiles to the Chavez regime.   

Iran’s only reason for a presence in South America is its imperialist intentions against the United States, whether that is served by its oil production contracts in the Southern Hemisphere,  or its effort at creating alliances that will help to soften the effects of an increased embargo  against  the nation.  Understand that because of Iran’s commitment to “destroy America,”  its presence in South America should not be tolerated and cannot be considered as "uneventual" by this or any US Administration.  

With all this in mind,  two days ago,  Obama, in an interview with a local Miami reporter,  made this ridiculous comment:

"We're always concerned about Iran engaging in destabilizing activity around the globe. But overall my sense is that what Mr. Chávez has done over the last several years has not had a serious national security impact on us"    -- Obama           (Read more on this interview here )

Clearly,  foreign affairs is one of Obama’s major failings.  His only “foreign affairs”  success is the killing of a number of terrorist leaders.  When you consider the mess in Egypt,  Syria, Libya, his abandonment of terrorist interrogations,  the growing threat in Iran,  the disaster that is Russia/U.S. relations,  the fact that Obama has never visited Israel in the four years of his presidency,  the failing war in Afghanistan and his catch and release policy in that country,  the problematic relationship with Pakistan,  is refusal to leave a military presence in Iraq and his obvious [eventual] desertion of a US military  presence in the Middle East,  when all of this is taken into consideration,  you see the magnitude of his failure in matters of foreign affairs.  


For Obama to fail to see the long term damage being done to U.S. influence in South America by Iran and others,  just adds to the sheer idiocy of his presidency.

Romney has this say in addition to the above observation:      

“I was stunned by his [Obama's] comments and shocked by them.  This is Hugo Chavez who has invited Iran in, who has invited Hezbollah. Hezbollah, being a surrogate and a proxy for Iran that would have access to weapons that could be used against us. The idea that this nation, this president, doesn’t pose a national security threat is simply naive and an extraordinary admission on the part of this president to be completely out of touch with what is happening in Latin America. This is a very misguided and misdirected thought on the part of our president."

With a Romney presidency,  there is the promise of change from the nonsense of the past four years.  What better reason(s) to vote the most unqualified president of all time,  out of office??

As I have noted before,  after Obama,  the days of a community organizer as president are over.  At least Jimmy Carter was a governor before coming into the presidency.   Obama had no qualifying experience,  at all.  Like it or not,  Sarah Palin was infinitely qualified by comparison.    Lesson learned !!!

I think we all missed this, but Obama is the first president in American history to pay ransom to terrorists.

Crowds gather during the Egyptian Spring (left)  at the end of which time,  19 American freedom fighters,  people supporting the democracy movement within Egypt, captured and held for ransom.

They were held hostage for 36 days  -  I told you we missed it -  the rebels demanding millions of dollars in exchange for the hostages' freedom.

Obama, coward that he is,  caved in, paid a 5.7 million dollar ransom and became the first president in modern American history to exchange money for hostages. 

Understand that Obama "back stabbed"   Egypt's  Mubarak, sending Egypt into uncharted chaos,  with an increased possibility of a new Egyptian government aggressively opposed to peace with Israel.  We should all be so proud.  Our country has become the laughing stock of the world in the Middle East,  Russia, South America and Red Chinese.

Maybe the world did not like Bush,  but it respected and feared the man, and,  because Bush was NOT likable in the eyes of the Middle Easterner,  he was able to accomplish a great deal, nothing less amazing than the surrender of the entire Libyan nuclear arsenal held under the control of Gadaffi.  That would have never happened with the likes of Obama.  There is a reason why Bush confiscated the Libyan nuclear arsenal and Obama scurries off to a toy store to buy a plastic reset button.

Obama's Middle East peace efforts have just failed. Why didn't he see this one coming?

Abbas: We will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state...

Palestinian Authority (aka PLO) President Mahmoud Abbas has reportedly said that he would not recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Abbas reportedly said that his position is identical to that of Arafat. If this report is accurate, it spells the premature end to an effort Mr. Obama and his State Department has supposedly been working on since early last summer.

Our question is this: in view of the fact that this issue has been a game ending issue dating back to before the time of the hapless Jimmy Carter, why did the Obama Administration schedule these talks before getting this matter resolved ? Could it be that he is trying to deflect attention from the August 21st beginning of Iran's nuclear future -- a day he saw coming from Day One of his administration without doing anything of import to stop it from happening ? After all, this conference was announced the same weekend he went on his 6th vacation, the same weekend Iran/Russia began charging their first nuclear reactor.

It is obvious that he has no plan for accomplishing whatever "foreign policy" he has in mind -- a policy he has yet to articulate in detail. You know, kind of like his jobs policy or his healthcare policy or his private sector, non-union partnership program, or his environmental program.

Understand that he and his party are the ones ruling this nation. They are the ones without ideas. Understand that "ideas" to our way of thinking includes the details for getting the job done.
