Obama's worst foreign-policy mistake
Washington Post ^ | Tuesday, July 6, 2010 | Mitt Romney

Posted on 07/05/2010 8:55:26 PM PDT by Pan_Yan

Given President Obama's glaring domestic policy missteps, it is understandable that the public has largely been blinded to his foreign policy failings. In fact, these may have been even more damaging to America's future. He fought to reinstate Honduras's pro-Chávez president while stalling Colombia's favored-trade status. He castigated Israel at the United Nations but was silent about Hamas having launched 7,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip. His policy of "engagement" with rogue nations has been met with North Korean nuclear tests, missile launches and the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel, while Iran has accelerated its nuclear program, funded terrorists and armed Hezbollah with long-range missiles. He acceded to Russia's No. 1 foreign policy objective, the abandonment of our Europe-based missile defense program, and obtained nothing whatsoever in return.

Despite all of this, the president's New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New-START) with Russia could be his worst foreign policy mistake yet. The treaty as submitted to the Senate should not be ratified.

"We celebrate the principles that are timeless, tenets first declared by men of property and wealth but which gave rise to what Lincoln called a new birth of freedom in America -- civil rights and voting rights, workers' rights and women's rights, and the rights of every American. And on this day that is uniquely American we are reminded that our Declaration, our example, made us a beacon to the world."

Why, I believe he gave a speech from the balcony overlooking the South Lawn, of course.

Obama rolls over to show his soft underbelly to the wolf.

What possibly could go wrong?

These are not mistakes. They are accomplished to create crisis so that Obama can take total control of America as a dictator in fact, with absolute power in his hands, justified astensibly by the crises he so "mistakenly" invites.

We have a government that is treasonousm betraying its own people, and destructive of the Constitution. That requires America to reject Obama and his ideology of fascism.

These are therefore not mistakes. but a very well thought out plan of destruction.

Yes, when you see a crane operator swinging a wrecking ball against a building it is rather silly to assume that he just doesn’t have enough experience to know how to make real improvements to the building.

Remember back when giving the Queen some crappy DVDs seemed like the dumbest thing he could do?

Yeah, that seemed almost like the good old days. We’ve taken a ton of additional abuse since then. Every day it’s a new pile of sh_t.

Just please wake me up when it’s time to handcuff the First Fraud and we get to march him off to jail.
