Unreported: A Critical Failure in Foreign Policy

As if the domestic situation is not bad enough with an extremely poor economy, a massive and rapidly growing debt, and a very poor job situation, our current foreign policy is equally bad. President Obama began his presidency with a worldwide apology tour exhibiting a naivete that this somehow would gain respect and place America in a more positive stead internationally. Just the opposite. Our two staunchest allies are Great Britain and Israel. He insulted England early on by returning a bust of Winston Churchill, but even worse he has continually insulted our vital ally in the Mid East, Israel.

Most critical to our foreign policy is the Mid East. During an Iranian uprising, President Obama failed to say one word in support of the Iranian people while they were being slaughtered in the streets. This was a loss of a major opportunity. Although some undesirable dictators were in place in Egypt and Libya, there was at least some degree of stability. Any attempt at change should have had a plan for assurances that the situation wouldn't actually become worse. Obama had no plan, yet went ahead supporting the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt and Gaddafi in Libya, even though there was a distinct threat of very radical anti-American Islamic leadership taking over. The most highly organized are the Muslim Brotherhood with clear strains of radical Islam. The naivete was further exhibited when Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, and the Obama administration, attempted to dispel any radical aspects of the Muslim Brotherhood and painted them as an innocuous "boy scout" like group, simply interested in democracy. Not so.

Obama's solution to the Israeli - Palestinian conflict, out of the blue with no consultation with the Israeli Prime Minister, was to declare that there should be a return to the borders before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. A shocked Prime Minister,Benjamin Netanyahu, called this "indefensible". Obama has continually insulted our strong ally, Israel, and the Prime Minister. At the same time Obama had no problem with inviting the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House.

We now have an extremely volatile flash point with Iran fast approaching nuclear bomb capability. Not only has the Obama administration been weak and unclear on their opposition to Iran, Obama has refused to meet with Prime Minister, Netanyahu during this time. Unbelievable! Yet Iran has repeatedly stated that their goal was to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. This critical situation, as Obama does nothing, could lead to a nuclear conflict and the possibility of World War III. What greater failure in foreign policy could there be?

We are beginning to see the early fruits of Obama's foreign policy in the Mid East. Our embassies are under attack with Americans murdered. Radical elements are beginning to take over in the vacuum created by the administration's foreign policy. The Muslim Brotherhood, just as most Americans suspected, are not "boy scouts", but very radical Islamists, that hate America.

The foreign policy of the Obama administration is not only a total failure, it is in the process of placing the United States and the world in great danger. This needs to be factually reported by ALL media sources.
