Editorial: Obama Doctrine Is All Bark, No Bite
Investor's Business Daily ^ | March 25, 2011 | IBD Editorial

Posted on 03/25/2011 6:32:15 PM PDT by Clairity

Mideast: A White House suddenly enthralled with cruise missile diplomacy and, without a Libyan exit strategy, issues a verbal warning to another murderous dictatorship. Our policy is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Did President Obama ever say, "Ahmadinejad must go"? Did he support the Iranian protestors when it could have made a big difference in the region?

If we want regime change in Libya, take charge, Mr. President, then go big or go home. If it's not, why waste our time when serious problems such as Iran are ignored? If we are into protecting civilians against murderous despots, then, indeed, what about Syria?

"Did President Obama ever say, "Ahmadinejad must go"? Did he support the Iranian protestors when it could have made a big difference in the region?"

Is he going to address THIS in his speech on Monday?

Neda will be erased as surely as 0bama’s comment, “Are you happy now?” when ‘John Q Public’ wanted to start that one 0bama town hall with the Pledge of Allegiance in 2008. YOU CANNOT FIND THAT VIDEO NOW. IT HAS BEEN EDITED OUT.

His doctrine is to pull for the brotherhood in Northern Africa. Not hard to figure out.

'It is a time-limited, scope-limited military action,' says White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. It's a 'kinetic military action,' says Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhode.

In an interview with Univision Tuesday, March 22, Obama re-defined the term 'exit strategy,' and said our exit strategy in Libya would begin this week (When I use a word, Humpty Dumpty said, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less).

Hope and Change.... Tragic.

Here is Obama’s blurb about Persian New Year a week ago. In a sense it isn’t worth publishing, tho I am providing a link to it to show how meaningless his “good-wishes to the People of Iran” is. 0bama simply restates what Iranians, particularly in Iran, already know, and, unlike him, have Experienced. What has 0bama done about it? ZERO. And, he forgets that many Iranians in Iran can no longer financially afford the New Year celebrations, nor are they permitted to enjoy it. Doesn’t 0bama know, the Persian New Year is something that the Mullahs’ regime has been against since they came to power 32 yrs ago because it is a Zoroastrian celebration, NOT ISLAMIC?

As far as I’m concerned, 0 can take his good wishes & -—— — where the Sun doesn’t shine.

"Why aren't we helping and protecting the protestors in Deraa? Or is Libya a ritual chest-thumping to prove the commander in chief is doing just that while serious threats in the Middle East are ignored?"

To answer the question from the article, Obama won't take serious action against Syria because Syria is allied with Iran and Syria attacks Israel. In Obama's world, those are good things.
