A Collapsed Foreign Policy
Flopping Aces ^ | 09-05-12 | James Raider

With the focus of the coming election appropriately directed at the economy and the creation of jobs, some of the media is desperately attempting a redirection of attention toward foreign policy. More precisely, the MSM is fabricating a four year history of its protagonist’s foreign policy.

Other than having given the go-ahead to kill Osama Bin Laden, the President’s foreign policy from the beginning of his term has been abysmal and has confused America’s allies as well as its taxpayers. The MSM is doing its best to prop-up the primarily missing-in-action-unengaged leadership with incomprehensible accolades such as Where Obama Shines and How Obama’s Foreign Policy Success Will Win Him Re-election. Such is the nature of the progressive mindset. These I-think-I’m-smarter-than-most self-believing-self-anointed mental aristocrats continue to project their perceptions onto the blank slate of a Presidency only too willing to be so consecrated.

To anyone who has been paying attention since the last Presidential election, such articles are void of insight and far removed from the world’s realities. The MSM assumes no one will have paid attention for four years.

This is the President who sold-out Poland and the Czech Republic by the sudden abandonment of the missile-defense security arrangement without extracting a single quid pro quo from Putin. If he had a better idea, could he still not have found acuity enough to “negotiate”? Apparently not. Today, Russia ostentatiously gloats in defiance as it ‘trades’ with, and supports, both Iran and Syria, as slaughter continues unabated by two of the worse current abusers of humanity on the planet. Putin says, “back off.” Where is the President?

Head on over and take a peek at the CFR’s “Foreign Affairs” journal. Here’s a little piece of levity:

Aren’t they just such cute little Marxists?!

Foreign policy like every other American political institution has collapsed by reason of “Diversity” and its resulting incompetence. (I strongly suspect corruption has entered into our foreign policy as well-remember Clinton and money from China.)

Admittedly Warren Christopher was a lackluster Secretary of State, but he should not be a reason for permanently banning white males from holding that office. White males may be less than 50% of the population but they include many talented individuals.

It’s more like a deliberate intent to screw things up this bad.
