Former Sen. Joe Lieberman told a House panel Wednesday that President Barack Obama has “no coherent” anti-terrorism strategy in embattled countries where al-Qaida is gaining new influence, and that’s endangering the United States.

“I do not, today, see a credible or coherent U.S. strategy right now, for exactly those countries—Syria, Iraq and Libya—that most threaten to emerge as al-Qaida’s newest and most dangerous footholds,” Connecticut’s Lieberman, who retired from the Senate last year, told the Homeland Security Committee.

“If we don’t do something more than we’re doing now, they’re going to tip over,” Lieberman added of those countries. And if that happens, “we’re going to get attacked again.” …

Obama lacks coherent anti-terror plan

The first requirement of a coherent anti-terror plan would be to oppose terror.

Why anyone today would even imagine OB has even a clue about how to handle International issues let alone anything domestic is beyond me.

... The man could have at least fudged his complete lack of skills or experience for the job of President had he been smart enough to surround himself with people that did know how government runs..... But the fool brought in, and continues to, those who only know how to campaign..if that. ....So there's no sense in imagining the guy, or the idiots with him, is capable of running anything remotely resembling the Gov. of our country.

Ob, nor his team, is interested in anything other than “transforming America” into the framework of their ideal utopia willing to get on board with the Globalist agenda. Either willingly or not, they are intent to do so regardless of any laws, commitments or anything else which attempts to stop them.

Ob gets his support not by showing his supporters his success, he knows he can't, but by telling them they have to fight us, blaming Congress, create division etc. He and his administration is all about what anyone and anything is wrong...never them and never their successes...

Ob and those around him have done nothing but create division and hatred in this country. Pitting people, business and industry against each other..... He is most despicable as are those surrounding him! Marching to their own drummer and this in the face of any who attempt to stop them. "They strut their evil before you!...comes to mind.

Senior UK Defense Advisor: Obama Is Clueless About ‘What He Wants To Do In The World’

The daily Beast ^ | 15 Jan 2014 | Nico Hines

Posted on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 4:48:18 PM by mandaladon

Sir Hew Strachan, an expert on the history of war, says that the president’s strategic failures in Afghanistan and Syria have crippled America’s position in the world. President Obama is “chronically incapable” of military strategy and falls far short of his predecessor George W. Bush, according to one of Britain’s most senior military advisors.

Sir Hew Strachan, an advisor to the Chief of the Defense Staff, told The Daily Beast that the United States and Britain were guilty of total strategic failure in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Obama’s attempts to intervene on behalf of the Syrian rebels “has left them in a far worse position than they were before.”

The extraordinary critique by a leading advisor to the United States’ closest military ally comes days after Obama was undermined by the former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who questioned the President’s foreign policy decisions and claimed he was deeply suspicious of the military.

"Obama lacks a coherent (fill in the blank)."

Isn't that the truth? And that extends even to his golf game.

The 2012 news articles have him saying that he wasn’t endorsing anyone for president. That of course does not reveal who he voted for.

He certainly voted in favor of Obamacare, and last month he said he stands by his actions and would have voted for it even knowing what he knows today.
