Obama receives gift from Leftist Chavez
As Barack Obama finishes up his second major foreign tour,a pattern in his approach to foreign policy seems to be emerging. On pressing matters of obvious importance,he has made responsible decisions that have not been far out of line with the policies of his predecessor and current necessities. But when it comes to seting priorities for the future,he has chosen to emphasize initiatives that seem more appropriate to situations America faced in his college years,the late 1970s and early 1980s,than to the threats America faces today.
Candidate Obama campaigned as the man who would lead us out of Iraq. President Obama,admitting belatedly and begrudgingly the success of George W. Bush’s surge strategy,decided to keep large numbers of troops there for another 19 months and an unspecified number after that. Responsibly,he decided not to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. On Afghanistan,in line with his campaign rhetoric that this was the good war Bush was neglecting,he has decided to send in more troops,and his envoy Richard Holbrooke has pressed the Pakistani government to fight the Islamist terrorists too.
What foriegn Policy?? Obama doesn't have a foriegn Policy. Obama has but one agenda,&that is to destroy the USA as fast as possible. And at the rate he is going,with the help of Pelosi,&Reid,he may succeed before he gets out of office,unless the new congress after January 2011 kick the Illegal SOB out. And yes,this is the job of the Congress,Not the Courts.
