In addition, and most importantly, George W. Bush was a conviction president on foreign policy matters, driven by a clear sense of the national interest. President Bush emphatically made his case to the American people and to the world, explaining why he believed the use of force was necessary, and dozens of countries decided to follow him. In the case of Barack Obama, whose foreign policy has been weak-kneed, confused and strategically incoherent, the president hasnt effectively made the case for military intervention in Syria, and has made no serious effort to cultivate support both at home and abroad. President Bush may not have been greatly loved on the world stage, but he was respected by Americas allies, and feared by his enemies. In marked contrast, Obama hasnt generated a lot of respect abroad, and he certainly isnt feared."

I have this pic in my office at work..drives the Libs nuts!!!
Oh God how I miss Bush!!
(3, 2, 1 ...here comes the FR anti Bush mavens!)
What makes the author think it’s naivite and incompetence, rather than deliberate actions? Nobody can be this incompetent — he has advisors.
In every action he takes, radical Muslims come out ahead and the US is worse.
As Sherlock Holmes said (paraphrased): When you eliminate all possibilities except one, that one, however improbable, must be the truth.
a) the title is about twice as long as it needs to be
b) anyone with an ounce of sense came to this conclusion at least four years ago
“Like a monkey playing with a hand grenade”- Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin
You’ll note the lack of screams from the leftist mainstream media over this obviously racist remark.
Can you just imagine the 24/7 TV outrage we’d be treated to had a Republicanm said that???
Just because he hates America and is trying his best to destroy it doesn't mean that he is competent. What kind of fool stages the same bogus chemical weapons attacks, time after time as a casus belli for war, only to be slapped down and exposed each time. Still, the incompetent boob has managed, with the support of the media, to do great damage to America. On the bright side, he is the laughing stock of the entire world.
Obama knows what he’s doing. The idiots in the Western leadership and media have yet to figure out that he’s a Muslim and radical aiding and abetting the jihadists and leftists in their cause to bring the Great Satan (US) and little Satan (Israel) down. They have been too busy licking his stinky toes.
The best Kerry picture was the NRA ad with Kerry’s head on a poodle’s body with the caption “That dog won’t hunt.” I almost peed my pants when I saw that one!
Methinks there are few situations more dangerous than a tyrant exposed as a coward - with weapons at his disposal...
What does anyone expect.?
He was elected because he made a legible speech at a Convention. The speech was written and he read it.
Then he was elected President.
His body language is a dead giveaway of his pansy self
I haven’t read the article, but the premise is way off base, Obama and his fascist minions are doing exactly what they intended to do and are succeeding every step of the way.
It saddens me that so many continue to underestimate Obama and his horde of thug fascists.
Bush would have gotten us involved in Syria’s Civil War if he were still around.
The McCain-Graham squad cheerleading for intervention is the George W. Bush squad.
Let Allah Take Care Of It applies to the RINO’s of the Bush variety as well.
He has been an embarrassment from Day ONE.
Maybe so. but did you know he isa historic embarrassment?
He is the first black embarrassment the US has ever had
I don’t miss RINO leadership that gave us two more no-win Vietnam style wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama proved to the world that he is a joke...and I pray that our enemies will not take advantage of this foolish weakling.
