Charles Krauthammer nails it again regarding Obama's foreign policy weaknesses

quote:

---

Canceled the missile defense network.

More than anything else Obama has stumbled over I believe this is the one that resonated most with Putin.

I am tired of listening everybody who supported the past administrations foreign policy actions, now act like experts on the matter, since they were basically wrong on everything.

1. Wrong on WMD in Irak
2. Wrong on Democracy spreading all across the region after we liberated Irak.
3. Wrong on the war being able to pay for itself
4. Wrong on how much the war would cost.
5. when Russia invaded Georgia did nothing.

Why should we continue to listen to cheney or krauthammer when they are wrong most of the time

We just misunderstood. It was meant to reset us back to the Cold War.

1. Actually, there were WMD's in Iraq. However, they were moved to Syria in the months leading up to the invasion. Those same chemical weapons have been the source of much debate and issue during the current Syrian Civil War.

2. Have you not seen the Arab Spring? Democracy, though not the form most Americans would prefer, is spreading like wildfire across the Middle East right now. Tunisia, Libya, UAE, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, ect have all seen huge sweeping protest movements, many of which resulted in all out revolutions and regime changes.

3. Only an idiot would have believed this one and I doubt anyone outside of politics or the oil industry even pretended to believe this one.

4. If Congress had not balked at the early war spending (particularly on troop levels, body armor, and armoring humvees), the surge would not have been necessary and Iraq would have been wrapping up circa 2006 rather than ramping up. The surge worked and the war calmed down tremendously soon afterwards. Things are only beginning to heat up now that we're gone and we've left the incompetent Iraqi government in charge to screw it up. If the war had been run the way it was pitched from the beginning, the actual costs would have lined up fairly closely with the initial estimates. Basically, Congressional Democrats voted for the war, then voted against fighting it properly, and then blamed the opposition when it turned into a boondoggle. If they had at least supported the efforts of the fighting men and women once the war had started or had just voted against the war from the start, it wouldn't have been a problem.

5. We absolutely should have done something, but what? Economic sanctions? Military action? A sternly written letter? In no way was military action against the Russian Federation on the part of the U.S., NATO, or the UN justified. However, there should have been some sanctions or at least some kind of at least humanitarian response.

But Vladimir Putin isn't playing by Mr. Obama's idea of 21st-century rules

Putin is playing a game of realpolitik and Bozo skipped class on the days that was taught but voted present none the less. The Russians are led by a man that is/was a player in the KGB while we are drowning because of an idiot pulling us down.

See, now all I can think of are those Key & Peele sketches of Obama in college planning keggers
