from another article out of UK:

---At the same time, President Obama has weakened America’s alliances while kowtowing to America’s enemies. Great Britain and Israel, Washington’s closest allies in Europe and the Middle East, have been treated with sneering contempt, while hostile regimes have been greeted with the extended hand of friendship.

-- When a great nation turns on its own friends and embraces its adversaries you know there is something fundamentally wrong with its leadership.

When a great nation turns on its own friends and embraces its adversaries you know there is something fundamentally wrong with its leadership.

I keep hoping that this is akin to the Corleone idea of "keeping your friends close, but your enemies closer." But I don't think that's the case here.
