When Sundown Joe takes office on Wednesday, the old gang will be back in the saddle again: the foreign policy establishment hacks who have done nothing but fail, fail, and fail again, and in response keep getting rewarded not with dismissal and a forced return to private life, but with honors, awards, and promotions. AFP reported Saturday that Biden has appointed Wendy Sherman, whose chief claim to fame is negotiating the notorious Iran nuclear deal, to be deputy secretary of state. It’s a classic example of failing up.
Biden said of Sherman and anti-Russia career diplomat Victoria Nuland, whom he named undersecretary for political affairs, that they “have secured some of the most defining national security and diplomatic achievements in recent memory. I am confident that they will use their diplomatic experience and skill to restore America’s global and moral leadership. America is back.”
Well, that may be overstating the case, but there is no doubt that the disastrous State Department “experts” are back. Sherman is getting her promotion nearly two years after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled 55,000 pages of documents and 183 cds demonstrating that “Iran did not come clean about its nuclear program,” and that it pursued a program “to design, produce and test five warheads with 10 kiloton of TNT yield for integration on missiles.”
When Iran’s leaders denied that they intended to construct nuclear weapons, Netanyahu said, they were “blatantly lying.” He charged that “Iran lied about never having a secret nuclear program. Secondly, even after the deal, it continued to expand its nuclear program for future use. Thirdly, Iran lied by not coming clean to the IAEA.”

.......anti-Russia career diplomat Victoria Nuland, whom he named undersecretary for political affairs......
Oh boy! NOODLEHEAD is back!!!!
Like I’ve said,every worst nightmare you could think of is coming down the pike.
So when all the good news comes rolling in, just remember: they cheated to be there and the swamp endorsed it.
Interesting times ahead!
Biden is hell bent on being everything both sides hated about Bush II, Obama, and Trump together in the first 90 days. Our side knows it, theirs does not. Yet.
D.C.
No. It is not. Communism has been the cause of millions, if not billions of deaths World wide.
When you're really working to assure the Iranians gain power and control over the entire Middle East, you didn't fail at all.
If that's your goal, then pallets of cash and turning a blind eye towards what they spend it on sounds like success, not a failure.
Making enemies with Russia again and giving back nuke capabilities to Iran. Slow China Joe hasn’t even taken office yet and his foreign policy is already a failure!
Exactly. I’m surprised Mr. Spencer is so naive.
Boondoggle Biden
OBAMA/Hillary/Kerry foreign policy was a long list of failures. Basically whatever they touched, it turned wrong.
Probably the worst foreign policy team ever.
But it will be back. More failures.
Our enemies are looking forward.
I know it’s disgusting. But here we are.
Bush is right in there also just because he is Republican his foreign policy SUCKED!!!
LOL Biden
Obama foreign policy failures - where to start?
Personally the worst was letting good crisis go to waste. They have an unique opportunity. The Arab spring was a wast movement which could be steered into great peaceful and democratic middle east. The Obamas showed incredible ineptitude, and let it deteriorated so badly that it is a lot worse there than before. ISIS, Syrian civil war, Libyan civil war, Yemen civil war, Egypt Muslim Brotherhood, Benghazi ... All started because Obama ineptitude. Some skillful diplomat could negotiate great solutions during that crisis, but what could anybody expect from Hillary?!
Iran. There was a wave of protests there, they ignored them and then they got totally corrupt atom deal.
Junior varsity, red line.
Apology tour.
Bribing our enemies.
Paris agreement.
Reset with Russia (huge embarrassment!). Apparently Putin keeps that reset board in his office and looks at it when he is depressed!
Venezuela. Nicaragua. Afghanistan. China, North Korea...
One plus - Hillary negotiated some kind of deal in Myanmar, which was touted as her only foreign accomplishment, but eventually it seems it turned sour too.
All Obama cared was that they (our friends and enemies) liked him. Of course, if you give away money and apologize, they will like you, (and laugh at you).
The Bengazhi coverup gang is . Nuland, Rice, bring back Marie Hard...
The liars triumvarent..
This animal is dead. (USA). Now come the vultures.. :(
