The Collapsing Obama Doctrine
Wall Street Journal ^ | 6/17/14 | Dick and Liz Cheney

Cheney re Obama: Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.

As the terrorists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) threaten Baghdad, thousands of slaughtered Iraqis in their wake, it is worth recalling a few of President Obama's past statements about ISIS and al Qaeda. "If a J.V. team puts on Lakers' uniforms that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant" (January 2014). "[C]ore al Qaeda is on its heels, has been decimated" (August 2013). "So, let there be no doubt: The tide of war is receding" (September 2011).

Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many. Too many times to count, Mr. Obama has told us he is "ending" the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—as though wishing made it so. His rhetoric has now come crashing into reality. Watching the black-clad ISIS jihadists take territory once secured by American blood is final proof, if any were needed, that America's enemies are not "decimated." They are emboldened and on the march.

The doctrine is working - America is collapsing.

There is no Democrat counterpart to Goldwater and hasn't been since Daniel Patrick Moynihan died.

A Republican landslide in November may produce the desired result. Obama could be impeached by the Democrats.

Folks. Obama’s doctrine is doing precisely as he intended. His doctrine is not collapsing.

His doctrine is meant to collapse the US as a viable player on the international scene...and he is succeeding.

He is not inept, he is mot mistaken...he is going about doing exactly what he promised. Fundamentally changing America...in every way he can possibly do so.

“...I understand he’s not the most popular political figure in the country, but Bush isn’t winning any style points or doing the country any favors by being a gentleman and keeping his mouth shut...”

RE Cheney: I always liked the guy. The fact that he made lib heads explode at the mention of his name was always a bonus.

RE Bush keeping silent: He’s doing what he always did. And that was a sore point with me. You HAVE to fight back.

I am amazed at the propaganda out there that still blames President Bush for just about everything....and tries to defend the defenseless Obama. A bit of HISTORY (Bush warned this would happen in Iraq)

I can see your point, but there are still movers and shakers today. Nobody seems to be taking a stand against this guy’s treasonous acts.

Jeff you are 100% correct....this was his plan and he told us he would 'fundamentally change America' and Michelle echoed with something like..."Barry will remove some of your traditions..." or words to that affect. He announced we are no longer a Judeo-Christian nation....leaning noticeably towards Islam. Many Americans still refuse to admit they were hornswoggled by this Kenyan and his cadre of like minded.

No he does. It’s called “get back at whitey”. That’s all
it’s about, that’s all it’s been about and that’s all it’s
going to be about until he’s evicted.

Obama hates America. To him America is white people and he’s
going to bring it all down so the commies can take over. To
him, this would be social justice.

“Bush isn’t winning any style points or doing the country any favors by being a gentleman and keeping his mouth shut.”

I would beg to differ. He just might be doing us a favor
by keeping his mouth shut. He has a lot to do with the
Obama getting in. All the while he was in the White House
he set there and did nothing while this anti conservative
rhetoric built up. In other words he helped pave the way for
an Obama presidency. He’s gone away and he should stay there.

“Dick Cheney has no credibility on this issue. His own boss was so thoroughly discredited on these stupid military campaigns by a constant drumbeat of lies,
exaggerations, and downright libel by the mainly slime media by 2008 that the people ballot-stuffing demonrats of this country elected a Kenyan exchange
student to replace him.”

Well that’s what happens when your too scared to stand up
to bullies. Bush should stay wherever he is, there is nothing
good he can do here. If there was or he had the balls to,
he would have done it a long tome ago.
Bush is gone, let him stay gone.

Well, my point was that President Bush had low approval ratings because the media attacked him for some petty
nonsense or other, sometimes just made out of whole cloth, very nearly every day of his tenure as President.

My second point was that Obama was selected president, not elected, but installed via massive voter fraud, not
only in 2008, but also in 2012. Example: Obama got 110% of the vote in some precincts here in Ohio, with 0%
going for Romney in 2012. Not only is that an impossibility, but it is also evidence of the aforementioned fraud.

Today, Obama’s approval rating is 40%, disapproval 54%.

"The “mission accomplished” sign had nothing to do with Bush."

Yes, I left that out. If I recall, the sign was put up by Navy staff, not Bush's people. I was reminded of another Bush smear the other day when I was leafing through former Defense Secretary Gates's book "Duty." How many times did the press tell us that Bush was "uncurious" and never read any books? Over and over. The fact is - attested by many, including Gates - is that Bush was - and is - an avid reader. But the press never let the facts get in the way of a useful stereotype. (I remember right after Obama was elected, Paul McCartney said, "It will be nice for America to have a president who can read," or something to that effect.) And guess who is bi-lingual - Obama, or Bush? The "moron" Bush, of course, not the "genius" Obama.
