Murphy Hits it on the Nose -- Obama-centric Foreign Policy



I am so angry and so frightened and so furious about the attacks yesterday on our diplomatic corps -- not to mention the murders of an Ambassador and his staff -- that I am tongue-tied.  I am so angry and so frightened and so furious that those attacks took place on the anniversary of 9/11 that I am red-faced.  So, since I can't clear my head enough to write about the whole thing, go over to Lagniappe's Lair and read Murph's take on those abominable (or perhaps I should say Obamanable) travesties.  Here's a little taste of Murph's post that is so spot on, and so very scary:

The reality is that they know exactly who they are messing with. They know that Barry Obama, for all of his willingness to use the power of the US Government against us citizens here to make us live as he deems proper, would sooner sell his wife and daughters in the Sudanese slave markets than risk making the world muslim community angrier at him personally.  And that last bit is important. Obama doesn't care if the world hates America as a nation; he has gone on record plenty of times hating it, too. Obama doesn't want the world hating him personally. It's always been all about him in his mind and that's how American foreign policy has been conducted since he took office. That's how we got to this point today and why it's only going to get worse for America until he's gone.


That's the heart of the matter, isn't it?  We're living with an Obama-centric foreign policy. 

I fear Israel will get tired of waiting around for the International Atomic Energy Agency to deal with Iran -- especially after being snubbed yet again by the White House -- and take drastic, irremediable action. 

In that case we may as well roll out Dr. Strangelove.

See you in the mineshafts.

  1. I was thinking that earlier. Israel is going to have to go it alone, and if things get dicey, the nukes they're not supposed to have will come into play. And, ultimately, we could have prevented it.

    As for the attacks, I'm in the same boat. I don't yet have the words.

  4. I read a bit about the attacks yesterday and again this morning... there's a LOT to read on this subject. I share your frustration and outrage over the acts themselves, and maybe more so when it comes to the garbled and contradictory responses (multiple) from Obama and his minions. And then there's "the press" their Romney-baiting. Good Lord.

  5. Yeah, Buck. And I haven't heard anything from "the administration" about the attack today in Yemen. Something big is in the air.
