With all the scandals surrounding this administration, it is difficult to determine what direction this country is heading internationally and what plans our President has for this country in dealing with terrorism in his last term of office. Evidently I am not alone in my questions or doubts concerning the direction we are heading as a nation. Stanford University Professor and writer Victor Davis Hanson also is concerned. I have excerpted below a paragraph from his recent article entitled, “Obama Who? (http://pjmedia.com/victordavishanson/), which eloquently summarizes my thoughts on the matter.
Quote: What does the Arab Spring conjure up? Or “lead from behind”? Or “reset”? (If only Obama could envision Putin as George Zimmerman, we might get real on Russia.) Or an “OK” from the Arab League to act? Or CIA gun-running in Libya? Or the military non-response to Benghazi? Or the incarceration of Mr. Nakoula, the supposedly evil filmmaker? Or “al-Qaeda on the run”? Or the successive flip-flops on Mubarak, Morsi, and the Egyptian military? Or serial “deadlines” to Iran, or consecutive “red lines” in Syria? (If only these threats abroad carried as much weight as Obama’s promises to “bankrupt” coal companies and send our power bills “skyrocketing.”) Or the “peace-process” with the Palestinians? Or closing down the embassies of the Middle East? (If only Islamists were Republicans, they might be on the receiving end of real presidential threats like “punish our enemies.”) What do all these misadventures abroad have in common? I think the answer is nothing and everything: no consistency other than confusion.” End of quote.
