Oh boy. Another FOX opinion piece. I wonder what their slant will be? Hahahahaha!
Hmmm, This about the author
Robert C. O’Brien is the California Managing Partner of a national law firm. He was a senior foreign policy advisor to Governor Mitt Romney
You don't actually think that Mr. O'Brien is a partisan hack do ya?
Did you read the article in the Daily Beast?

Nah, better to say it is a case of Obama throwing someone under the bus than to realize it is a rather well balanced article representing both criticism of Patterson and Obama.

I think that being the "foreign policy adviser" for a guy who went on an "embarrass America" tour isn't much of a credential. I wonder if O'Brien was the one who fed him this (from another Blaze article that Barble won't read):
Thus one of his advisors recently warned that we need to do more to defend “Czechoslovakia” from the “Soviet Union.” Neither country still exists. Romney himself won’t say himself how long he would stay in Afghanistan, and on the issue of a possible conflict with Iran he said in a Republican primary debate: “You sit down with your attorneys and they tell you what you have to do.” He opposed going into Pakistan to track down terrorists and observed that finding Osama bin Laden wasn’t “worth moving heaven and earth.” After the bin Laden raid—inside Pakistan—he gave credit to the Navy Seals and begrudged the President who had sent them to kill or capture the mastermind of 9-11.

They would only speak to the Muslim Brotherhood, they rarely if ever met with any other opposition group that is why we are now having such a credibility problem in Egypt and the region.
Since day one, these guys have been in over there heads and the President is clueless, he will go down in history as the great empty absent suit.

The Presidents entire foreign policy amounts to ONE seal team raid...and what exactly?......What is his foreign policy?..........
This administration is a joke.
There are books and websites devoted to exploring the Obama administration's policies. Anyone responding to a goofy post like yours is just wasting their time if you are completely unwilling to do your own research.
The Seal team raid would amount to a tactic, not a policy.
Yeah, we'd have been way better off with Romney helping defend Prague against the Soviet army.

Translation: HE HAS NO POLICY.
(he does not even have the least bit interest in it or the rest of the actual job for that matter.)
Ask anyone what President Obama's Foreign Policy is the first thing they bring up "ummm duuuuhhhh ummmm he got Bin Laden"....which you just admitted was a tactic.
Thanks for coming.
I have a far better understanding of policy, strategy and tactics than you seem to admit to. I've read the relevant administration web sites and both the criticisms and analysis. You have not. Because you are uninformed does not mean that policies don't exist. Because you do so little research on your own, I'm not inclined to do it for you.
Thanks for going....
Yes we would have.
right.

You got me. It's much better to do what we are doing, pretending that Russia is not reasserting itself on the national stage, that are allies in Eastern Europe are not concerned about it and that they themselves have all the confidence in the world in President Obama. We can also keep pretending the current leader of Russia respects and takes seirously our current President as demonstrated by his actions in Syria and with our long lost buddy Snowden.
We will keep pretending these things but the reality is this Adminstration is a joke. It's easier to pretend.........just click your heels together and repeat " hope and change, hope and change" and ignore the smell of that rancid smoke.

That is sad. You assume I have not because in your world "how could anyone possibly disagree, they must not have seen what I have seen........"
Very sad.......

You can pretend that is what Romney's advisor meant when he referred to countries that no longer exist....still seems like the guy is clueless...and Romney's own web page did not offer details that support your opinion....
On the other hand, I did not talk about whether or not I agree with you about Obama's policies....it had to do with your statement that Obama has no policies. Since you don't care to research them, there is not point in attempting to educate you....the administration website and numerous others have enough reading to keep you busy, but you prefer to pretend they don't exist.

I wasn't talking about Romney or Romney's chief of staff I was referring to what is going on today. If you think this Adminstration has an actual flushed out foreign policy that it following you are kidding yourself.
They don't even care about it, you don't want to talk about Russia, lets talk about Egypt....they only spoke to the Muslim Brotherhood. They never had any substantial talks with any other opposition group but them and now we have a credibility problem with the people of Egypt because as far as they are concerned we installed Morsi.........
I think you would be hard pressed to find a Goverment on the planet that does think our President as weak and ineffective.
1. You do not and should not know of any contacts with groups that were opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood. It would have been idiotic to publicize any support for them (or for the resistance in Iran). What the people of Egypt think is related is interesting...the supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood say Obama has interferred, the opponents say that Obama has not interferred enough.
If you recall there was little known at the time of Reagan's support for the Poles when they were about to establish a democracy in Poland.
2. What do you base your idea that every government on the planet sees Obama as weak? I'd bet Gaddafi would disagree with you.
