Obama's Broken Promises and the McChrystal Factor

Obama isn't listening to 'the commanders on the ground' in Afghanistan. He promised that he would.

Read about this latest broken promise and its broad ramifications in my column today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

The war in Afghanistan is quickly deteriorating. And the President's apathy and inattention are making matters worse.

Will Netanyahu Crack Under Obama Pressure?

The intense and underhanded pressure from the Obama Administration may be leading Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to consider a '2-state solution' to Middle East tensions.

Read why this would be an absolutely terrible course of action for the Israelis, at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

Obama is actually setting up Netanyahu to fail no matter what choice he makes--a most despicable policy, given that our charlatan-in-chief told the Muslim world that the U.S. has no right to 'impose its values' on any other nation.

So, why is he doing that very thing with Israel?

Obama's Policy on Iran Blames America

Within his first two weeks of office, Barack Obama has made a series of glaring blunders with regard to U.S. foreign policy. One of those blunders involves a change in U.S. policy toward Iran.

As Middle East expert and world-renown journalist Caroline Glick notes,

The most sympathetic interpretation of Obama's desire to move ahead with diplomatic engagement in spite of the mullocracy's preconditions is that he has simply failed to countenance the significance of Iran's demands. This means that Obama remains convinced that the US is indeed to blame for the supposed crisis of confidence that the Islamic world suffers from in its dealings with America. By this reasoning, it is for the US, not for Teheran, to show its sincerity, because the US, rather than Teheran, is to blame for the dismal state of relations prevailing between the two countries.

Thus, the 'Obama Doctrine' is that America, not the terrorist regime in Iran, is to blame for the dismal state of affairs between the 2 nations.

And therefore, according to Glick, Israel will be forced to change its policy accordingly:

And under these circumstances, Israel's next government - which all opinion polls conclude will be led by Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu - will have to adopt certain policies.

First, in keeping with his campaign rhetoric, Netanyahu will have to make preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons his most urgent priority upon entering office.

And second, to withstand US pressure to allow the Obama administration time to develop its ties with Teheran, (time that Iran will use to build its first nuclear bomb), Netanyahu will need to form as large and wide a governing coalition as possible. All issues that divide the Israeli electorate between Right and Left must be temporarily set aside.

In the age of Honest Obama, Israel is alone in recognizing the necessity of preventing Iran from acquiring the means to destroy the Jewish state. Consequently, Netanyahu's government will need to proceed with all deliberate speed to take whatever actions are necessary to prevent Israel's destruction.

This is serious, life-and-death stuff about which we speak here. Be sure to read the entirety of Caroline Glick's stunning analysis of the dangers to come here.

Obama to Israel: 'Open Border with Gaza'

Signifying a major shift in Middle East policy, President Barack Obama on Thursday pressured Israel, fresh from its response to years of terrorist bombs from Gaza, to open up its border with the area.

If Israel's leaders have one single ounce of rationality left in their bodies, they will simply say, 'No, thanks, Mr. President,' to the Obama plan.

The mere suggestion that Israel consider opening borders with one of the most dangerous and deadly areas on earth is cause to wonder if the new President has taken leave of the entirety of his senses.

To their credit, Israel's response to Obama was measured. Without flatly refusing to consider the proposal, the Israeli leadership merely stated that they would never consider opening the border if the result would be the strengthening of Hamas, which is precisely what such an action would do.

As long as the Palestinians allow Hamas to continue to send rockets into Israel, and as long as residents in the area continue to spout their sentiment that Israel has no right to exist, then the Jewish state would be well within its rights to tell the American President to kiss off.

This is the kind of pie-in-the-sky, liberal knee-jerk type of foreign policy that will get the entire Middle East blown to bits in the long run.

"Confirming Fears"

That didn’t take long.

As we observed throughout the campaign, Barack Obama gave indications that his election would mean a return to the September 10 mentality, a national-security outlook marked prominently by its lack of seriousness about the terrorist threat. In choosing Eric Holder to be his attorney general, President-Elect Obama has taken a step toward confirming those misgivings.

The editors of National Review have written a frightening assessment of Barack Obama's foreign policy plans, as the excerpt above depicts.

If, indeed, September 11, 2001 changed everything, as most of us said at the time, then a pre-September 11 mentality is not a step forward but a gigantic leap backward to a time when we assumed we were safe from catastrophic terrorist attacks on our own soil.

If Obama is a major danger to the nation with regard to domestic issues, then his foreign policy mentality is lethal.
