O's Foreign Failures
New York Post ^ | March 25, 2009 | Ralph Peters

Posted on 03/25/2009 6:48:27 AM PDT by Sergeant Tim

Pakistan: With viral corruption throughout and Islamist fanatics sweeping half of its territory, Pakistan's coming apart. Its Dem-adored prez tries to ban opposition parties and gut the judiciary. It has nukes and seethes with hatred of America. And Islamabad controls our primary supply route into Afghanistan, using it as an extortion tool.

Obama's response? Billions in new aid for Pak pols to pocket. We'd be better off handing the money to AIG to pay out more bonuses.

Afghanistan: Obama's Vietnam. Am I the only American who remembers that candidate Obama had a plan to capture Osama bin Laden and fix our previous "mistakes" in Afghanistan? President Obama doesn't have a clue.

Iran: Obama tried to reach out, to talk. After all, talking got him to the White House. But America-bashing is what keeps Iran's leaders in office, it's their political essence. After 30 years of fierce hostility, hasn't anyone figured out that the senior mullahs need us as an enemy? Without the Great Satan America to blame, they'd have some real explaining to do to their homies. So O got the left-hand finger.

He wanted to chat with the Taliban, too. They told him he could stick it where the sun don't shine.

But look who he is making friends with. Iran, Pakistan, Gaza, Russia, China. All of these will turn against us eventually. Just look at history. Do we ever learn? This guy has no idea what he is doing....or....he knows exactly what he is doing and plans on ruining this country.

Friends? Not and never were.

Turn against us eventually? Long ago and still.

Reading the list of 0bama’s foreign policy gaffes from Russia to Poland to China to S. Korea to Iran and we’re barely 2 full months in. This guy is moving with unbelievable speed to screw things up on both the domestic and foreign policy fronts.

I wonder from where on the international front the first big challenge comes? I’m guessing Putin will be the man but I don’t know if he’ll move to the south into the Middle East hooking up with Iran or he’ll look to bring those disobedient Eastern European states back into compliance with energy and later direct military threats. The generals in the Kremlin have got to be chomping at the bit given this golden opportunity to gain control of Middle Eastern and Caspian Sea energy supplies and yank Europe into line.

Hey fellow freeper.

Please put Ralph Peter's name in the title, as there are many of us here who will jump on reading his essays.

Thanks for posting!

Please put me on your poing list.

Here's why I love Ralph:

AMERICA'S enemies smell blood and it's type "O." All new administrations stumble a bit as they seek their footing. But President Obama's foreign-policy botches have set new records for instant incompetence.

Contrary to left-wing myths, I wasn't a fan of the Bush administration. (I called for Donald Rumsfeld to get the boot in mid-2001.) But fair's fair. Despite his many faults, Bush sought to do good. Obama just wants to look good.

Vice President Dick Cheney was arrogant. Vice President Joe Biden is arrogant and stupid. Take your pick.

Don't worry about the new administration's ideology. Worry about its terrifying naivete.

In the last 30 seconds, he betrays his real concerns.

I despise this POS.

We don't need Iran calling the U.S. the Great Satan - Hilary did a bang up job of reinforcing that belief when she stated that Mexico's violence problems are our fault.
