Foreign policy and national security went “on hold” last week as the administration saw few “front burner” issues make much progress.
In Afghanistan, the president continues to postpone making a decision on the way forward. According to the Washington Post, Obama has now asked senior officials for a province-by-province analysis of Afghanistan “to help determine which regions are being managed effectively by local leaders and which require international help.” He supposedly “wants the clearest possible understanding of what the challenges are to our forces and what is required to meet the challenge.” Seems like this is information he should have asked for months ago.

Just vote “present”... That’s all any of us expected.
You think foreign policy is a mess now? Just wait until Obama enters the lame-duck phase of his presidency. This could be as early as the midterm elections. All presidents start looking hard at creating a foreign policy ‘legacy’ when their domestic agenda runs out of momentum.

With Hillary Clinton by his side, I’m sure he will bring peace throughout the world FOREVER!
Actually, I’m expecting Hillary to resign her SOS position in the not too distant future to begin her run for Governor of NY and President of the U.S.A. I think she realizes that foreign policy in this administration is going to be hopeless and an inevitable failure and I’m sure she doesn’t want to be anywhere in the vicinity.
Zer0 has setup a situation ripe for exploitation by adventurous risk-takers living in Beijing or Moscow.
Think Breshnev’s Christmas day invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 with an incompetent Carter in command.
China covets returning Taiwan under its control(and absorbing its vibrant economy into its own).
Russia would love to have nuclear warheads in Caracas or Cuba.
Would our POTUS stand firm?
For the answer, let’s kick back and find out what type of individual the stupid hope and change crowd elected.
It can’t be too much more time, as the Russian and Chinese know us Americans will evict the usurper in the not-too-distant future. They must strike soon to get what they want.
