Everything that Barack Obama touches seems to turn to ....
... dross. Think of it for a minute.
He inherited a quiet Iraq (no American combat deaths at all in December 2009). Joe Biden bragged of the calm that it would be the administration’s “greatest achievement.” But by pulling out all U.S. peacekeepers — mostly for a 2012 reelection talking point — Obama ensured an ISIS wasteland. He put his promised eye on Afghanistan at last, and we have lost more soldiers there than during the Bush administration and a Taliban victory seems likely after more than a decade of lost American blood and treasure. The message seems to be that it is better for Obama to have his eye off something than on it.Works and Days

Your Say
Frank Gaffney notes Obama's Doctrine is "embolden our enemies, undermine our allies, and diminish the country."
Mission accomplished.

Duh.
How could anyone think otherwise.
Look at the most blemished places in this country.
Who resides there?
What an historical embarrassment.

I am sure the Russians are laughing hyterically at this 'deja vu' moment.

There's not a single person on earth that believes in the whole "smart diplomacy" line any more. President Obama is proving the old saw that leftists are weak on foreign policy, hostile toward the military, weaken national defense, and tax and spend. Every single stereotype of the leftist politician bundled into one incompetent.

For sure he is an embarrassment to his race. Both of them.
