Krauthammer On Obama's Foreign Policy: 'The Strategy Is To Do Absolutely Nothing' August 28

Charles Krauthammer ripped President Obama's foreign policy Thursday on "Special Report with Bret Baier," blasting the president for holding a news conference at which he said, "we don't have a strategy yet" for dealing with ISIS in Syria.

"The president of the United States, in the middle of a real crisis, a few days after the beheading of an American...gets in front of the world and says, I don't have a strategy," the syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor said. "If that is true, don't say anything. Why do you announce you don't have a strategy?"

Why do you announce you don't have a strategy?"

answer: To send a clear signal to the Jihadists that we are not going to do anything, as long as the waste of oxygen is President.

“If that is true, don’t say anything. Why do you announce you don’t have a strategy?”

And people say he isn’t transparent...

Oh being prepared IS the job of the President,
so this should tell us all we need to know about
his fitness as a leader.

The only thing worse than having no foreign policy is having 0bama’s foreign policy.

The dithering IS the strategy.

No real American would have to take more than three minutes to formulate a strategy concerning ISIS.

Then again, we don’t have a real American as President.

“Valerie is in waaaay over her reptilian head.”

I wonder whether she is as willing to accept (facilitate through inaction) the advance of Islam as her Principal, BHO, appears to be.

While doing nothing can be part of a strategy, if that is the ONLY tool you have in your kit bag, that isn’t good.

I wonder if Obama has come to the realization that everything that might work has been done by Bush and that all he had to do was follow up with an equally strong foreign policy. Bush screwed up but attempted to correct his errors even with an impossible congress. ISIS won’t wait around for the Obama dithering, they’ll attack.

He has a strategy. It’s “Don’t do stupid shit.”
