Op-ed:

Obama’s failed foreign policies...a plus for Romney

By Diane Sori

No matter how much Barack Hussein Obama bloviates while on his, ‘It’s all about ME, ME, ME and how I got Osama bin Laden’ world tour (forgetting that all he did was shake his head yes to what Bush’s policies had set in motion), the bottom line is that his foreign policy stinks.

Mitt Romney has it right when he says “Obama has made the United States less safe by failing to lead on the world stage.”

There are so many instances of this that it’s hard to know where to begin. For starters, how about that Barack Hussein Obama broke a cardinal rule of warfare when he told the enemy exactly when we would be withdrawing our troops from the Iraq and Afghan theaters.  Now all they have to do is sit back and wait for us to be gone, then move in and retake the countries we fought so hard to free.  What total degradation to all those who made the ‘ultimate sacrifice’ to help free an oppressed people.

Next up is Iran.  Iran is on the verge of acquiring a nuclear bomb, and a weapon of that magnitude in the hands of a madman like Ahmadinejad is just out and out dangerous not only for Israel but for Europe and America as well.  One cannot reason with a madman, yet Obama continuously tries to tie Israel’s hands from pre-emptively going in (with our support) to take Iran out once and for all.  Obama is pushing the diplomatic and economic sanctions route but that’s not getting anywhere as delay after delay in the talks gives Iran time to complete the building of a bomb.

Thankfully, the ‘Flame’ virus was recently released (thank you Israel, wink, wink) and seems to have slowed that progress down, if not completely, at least brought it to a halt for now.  But I bet you that it will only be a matter of time before Obama starts bloviating that he ordered the virus’ release. 

And speaking of Israel, let’s NOT forget that Barack Hussein Obama wants Israel to return to her now indefensible pre’67 borders; declare that it will accept a two-state solution to the Palestinian problem; and has NO problem with a divided Jerusalem.  

But guess what, Mr. Obama, none of those things are going to happen.

Hey ‘bama’ just so you know...the United States does NOT sellout and stab in the back our one true ally in the Middle East but then again what do you care as you have NO love for Israel or the Jewish people, and could care less if Israel was, as your muslim brethren so love to say, ‘wiped off the face of the Earth.’

And lest we forget to add to his foreign policy failure list the entire ‘Arab Spring’ movement, starting with his violation of the Constitution’s War Powers Clause in his involving us in Libya, all the way up to the fall of Egypt into basically the Muslim Brotherhood’s hands, to the total disaster that is Syria.

And now add into the mix North Korea...they’re still going strong in their threats against South Korea, Japan and us.  And eventually they will have missiles capable of reaching our west coast.  Obama has done nothing about them except to put the same useless sanctions on them as he has on Iran.

Obama still hasn’t figured out that sanctions don’t work, because all these ‘rouge’ nations have to do is deal and trade with countries who are against us...which they already do.

But the topper to all this is Barack Hussein Obama’s cutting of our defense budget, both foreign and domestic.  Obama must have either been absent, asleep, smoking weed or doing blow the day in  government class when it was taught that the one area you NEVER cut funding to is defense.

Mitt Romney has publically spoken against Obama’s proposed defense cuts that would amount to over $1 trillion dollars over the next ten years, something that would set us up for military failure both here and abroad.  While Obama calls for shrinking our military by 100,000 Army and Marine troops, Romney calls for adding 100.000 troops and increasing our fleet of naval ships.  

That is strong leadership in defense of our country...something Obama knows nothing about.

So there in a nutshell is the foreign policy of Barack Hussein Obama...NOT something to be proud of if you ask me.  This poor excuse of a president is cheering hard for America to falter as the world’s leading military and economic power, and would probably jump for joy if America became nothing more than just another country among all those in the world.  He has said, and I quote, that his goal is to have, "a U.S. leadership that recognizes our limits."

Well guess what, Obama, the United States of America takes a backseat to NO country, and we set the limits NOT have others dictate limits to us!  Hope that sinks in while ‘We the People’ countdown the last few months until the end of your miserable presidency.
