The news brings us a daily reminder of why the Obama administration is inept and lacking in basic common sense when it comes to its most important tasks: defeating the Islamic State and keeping Iran from getting nuclear weapons and dominating the region. The last, I think it is clear, is not even a problem to be addressed. The administration appears content to work in tandem with Iran in Iraq, let the Houthis depose the elected government in Yemen (where they have, according to news reports, looted intelligence files exposing names of informants and plans for U.S.-backed counter-terrorism operations), leave Irans murderous junior partner in place in Damascus and generally ignore the panic attack that has gripped our allies, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt. With Yemen now spinning out of control, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are compelled to launch military strikes. U.S. misjudgment once again puts allies in harms way. Not really a template for success, is it?
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, demonstrating his newfound outspokenness, said via an e-mail provided by his campaign, While the Obama administration continues to blatantly ignore facts on the ground in Yemen, Iranian-backed Houthi forces have advanced and weve evacuated our remaining personnel from the country. Imminent civil war and the possibility of regional conflict is not exactly a model of success, but is indicative of the presidents failed foreign policy across the globe. It would be nice if others followed his lead in calling out President Obamas preposterous denial of reality.

Jug-eared Jackass in the White House sez “No.”
Not, obviously.
There are three choices, conquest, containment, or conversion (to Islam).
There is not, and there never has been any sign that we were developing an army of sufficient size and power to conquer and occupy Arabia and Pakistan.
Far from pursuing a containment policy, both the Bush and Obama administrations have been relentless about integrating our society with Islam, both in the sense of sending Britney Spears and Barbara Boxer over THERE and allowing hundreds of thousands of them over HERE.
Surrender and conversion of the West to Islam appears increasingly likely.
No we are not. Obama is working with the Islamic fundamentalists. He is enabling and helping Iran and the transnational terrorists. He is overthrowing those Muslim governments that stand in the way of the terrorists. He is importing Muslim populations into the US and weakening the US as fast as he can. He is clearly working against the West and for Muslim fanatics.
Yeah. And thanks to the Men Seeking Men media like The Washington Post, it also brings us the excuses, distractions and obfuscations that allows the "Obama administration" (not Obama, no, uh-uh) to continue to do so.
Man, if only Woodward and Bernstein were still alive.
Not.
I now have to present two forms of id at my bank in order to withdraw a $100. Something to do with Homeland Security.
The president is not. He sees them as potential allies.
You are exactly correct, great post.
The Arab Spring was all about helping [ money , weapons .. ] the Moslem Brotherhood terrorists.
The fast and furious, Benghazi , gun running sent hundreds rockets that took down the Jordanian pilot and can take down commercial airliners in the future.
You need to change banks
What do you mean “WE”?
Don’t say “WE” without asking my permission to be included in your “WE”.
I am not included in your “WE”. It’s our fearless leader who is serious about giving our enemies everything this country can provide for them.
ISIS is mostly Muslims killing other Muslims.
It is a religious civil war that has been going on for over 700 years.
This is not our fight.
We need to be playing extreme Defense, profiling like crazy people from the middle east, north Africa and Central Asia or any Muslim dominant area. No benefit of the doubt. Most especially keep out and kick out non-citizen MEN from these areas from ages 13-35. This age of men with religious fervor have always been the ones most active in carrying out violence throughout history. That’s profiling too. I don’t care.
Europe needs to wake the hell up and start doing likewise.
The Fundamentalists want to cut off our heads. The Moderates just want to watch. They are all bad and we need to get rid of all of them from the US.
Would you be serious fighting Islamic fundamentalists if you were a muzzie or fearful of being branded an islamophobe in this PC environment?
