Care to see a prime example of lefty minds exploding from confusion?
I like this comment most:
I dunno what this Administration is thinking about the Middle East. Clinton seems to be running around, making no new friends, and building no personal gravitas in the region. Wherever she goes, a few days later, Mike Mullen or some other high ranking U.S. military leader is sucked in, to confirm that she's been there, and that she wasn't just an errant American tourist.
But as an American Secretary of State, serving U.S. interests in a troubled region, she's a visible, if not principal, constant reminder of how little this Administration is capable of influence in this strategically important region. For the Iraqis in Baghdad tonight, who believed this Administration's promises about security during American withdrawal, I have great sympathy, as I do for Afghanistan's Karzai.
Tonight, in Yemen and Iraq and Afghanistan, it's only slightly more dangerous to be an enemy of the U.S., than a friend of ours...
He is right. Obama's new foreign policy has been a disaster. Trusted allies have been insulted. Enemies perceive weakness. And those who formerly relied on the US are beginning to look for new friends on the other side.
And ironically Obama is perceoved as a "cowboy" by the Iranian regime who more openly mock him than they dared Bush. With Bush you had to be careful. You never knew when that idiot would invade you.
