Jed Babbin: Inside the Obama Doctrine for American decline

This article by Jed Babbin gives the facts on the Obama Doctrine for American decline which sends chills up your spine. Find it hard to fathom that Obama lectures and scolds leaders of foreign countries when they don't do what he says. He apologizes because the United State is a dominant power as he doesn't want us to be. What kind of warped thinking is that?

Obama systematically is trying to destroy the the dominance of the United States. His actions since that fateful day in January 2009 when he took the oath of office, have been to dis our allies and be overly friendly with our enemies. Between Obama and Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, strutting around the World, our allies have to wonder what happened to the United States as they both are selling us out to dictators, Muslims, Socialist, and Communist.

The lapdog media has spent countless hours defending Obama and his Administration but even now some members of the media are finally removing their rose colored glasses as they are witnessing what is happening. Maybe they are finally concerned about the part of the Constitution that guarantees Freedom of the Press. They need to think long and hard about what they have done to protect Obama and this Administration and ask themselves if it was all worth the price of turning their back on journalistic integrity. Maybe they have decided they don't like being dissed by Obama and Gibbs, his puppet, posing as the Press Secretary who gets nasty or laughs when a reporter wants facts instead of spin.

This is about the security of the United States and time the American people who voted this unknown into the highest office also take off their rose colored glasses and realize the man in the White House is not acting in the best interest of the security of the United States and its citizens.

The people who understand National Security and what is at stake are coming out more and more against Obama and members of his Administration. It is time We The People listen carefully to what they are telling us because it is in our best interest to make sure that on November 2nd, 2010, we elect the people to Congress to fight against what is being done to our national security by Obama and members of his Administration including the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

This article gives the details of what Obama is doing and it is frankly scary that this man with his background was elected President.

Every world leader's foreign policy goals comprise what the press and historians label his "doctrine." What is the Obama Doctrine?

At the end of the recent nuclear summit, Obama spoke of nuclear proliferation and the Middle East, saying, "It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because, whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower. And when conflicts break out, one way or another, we get pulled into them."

The Obama Doctrine seeks to avoid the burden of the latter by reducing America from the former.

Obama's utopian goal is a world without nuclear weapons. And though U.S. lives are being spent to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan, Obama said last year that the war in Afghanistan isn't about victory:

"I'm always worried about using the word 'victory' because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur." (Hirohito didn't walk the deck of the USS Missouri, his ministers did.)

Obama acts in disregard of historical fact and fails to pursue America's best interests. In too many instances, he has chosen to cower, in others contravening every principle America has stood for since July 4, 1776.

Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to the Islamic states' position that, until Israelis and Palestinians are at peace, there can be no peace anywhere else in the Middle East. Obama now hopes that, if he can force Israel to agree to the creation of a Palestinian state, an Arab coalition will help him pressure Iran to give up its nuclear program.

But with the exceptions of Jordan under King Hussein and Egypt under Sadat, the Arab states have never recognized Israel's right to exist. The fact that the Palestinians have never renounced terrorism and continue to insist that Israel has no right to exist makes peace impossible until they do.

Nevertheless, Obama seeks to force Israel to cease settlements in Jerusalem and the West Bank and agree to an independent Palestinian state. When Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the White House in March, he was treated as if he were a rebellious teenager.

When Netanyahu tried to explain why he wouldn't agree to a cessation of settlements, Obama walked out on Netanyahu to eat dinner, telling him to advise Obama if he had changed his mind. Netanyahu left without having been accorded the diplomatic courtesies Obama grants America's enemies.

If Obama wanted to generate an Israeli-Palestinian agreement, he would insist that the Arabs and the Palestinians recognize Israel's right to exist as a precondition to negotiations. But he won't, because he has decided Israel is the obstacle to peace.

Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai is no Thomas Jefferson, and Obama is no Henry Kissinger. Kissinger used back-channel private communications to considerable success. Obama is a public scold.

At the outset of the Afghanistan troop surge, Obama set a date for the beginning of the end of the counterinsurgency in Afghanistan: July 2011. Obama must know his political deadline is unattainable, but he continues to insist on it.

When Obama visited Karzai in March, he ripped the Afghan president for corruption and for failing to match America's military effort with rapid political progress. And then leaked all of that to the press.

Nationalist Karzai replied in belligerent speeches, condemning the foreign presence in Afghanistan, even threatening at one point to join the Taliban.

Frank Gaffney: Arsenal of Roguery

We believe the last paragraph of Frank Gaffney's article today may be the one that hits home the most as some voters for Obama begin to wake up to the Hope and Change they elected. The idea we are dissing our allies and playing up to our enemies under the Obama Doctrine is not going over well. The article is wake up call for all Americans as to what is happening in the real world not some made up world of Obama where we all join hands and sing kumbyya. His world doesn't exist but the real world filled with danger from the Russians is reality.

History will show that the metastasizing danger of the Russian arsenal for roguery's world-wide operations has been greatly compounded - if not fundamentally enabled - by the assiduous application of the Obama Doctrine: "Embolden our enemies. Undermine our allies. Diminish our country." If the latter doctrine is not swiftly corrected, and the former not effectively thwarted, America and the rest of the Free World may soon find themselves confronting threats even greater than those at large when first we rose to the challenge of being the indispensable arsenal for democracy.

Do you trust this man?


We certainly don't. Anyone thinking the former KGB Putin is not calling the shots in Russia needs to face reality and that includes Obama and his cronies who believe they have pushed the reset button with Russia. The seem to think that Putin will listen when he has to be laughing at Obama and Hillary for being so naive. He has both of their numbers. Look at Putin's eyes in this picture and tell us they are not cold and threatening.

Arsenal of Roguery
Center for Security Policy Apr 26, 2010
By Frank Gaffney, Jr.

Sixty years ago, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt announced to the nation in one of his famous "fireside chats" that America must be "the great arsenal of democracy." It was a visionary and, at the time, controversial declaration that a nation dead-set against becoming entangled in the war then-consuming Europe must nonetheless help arm democratic nations fighting for their survival. This initiative proved critical to Britain's defense in the run-up to Pearl Harbor, at which point the United States became decisively not just the Free World's armory, but its savior.

Today, we find another country putting its formidable military-industrial complex in the service of others around the globe. The arsenal is Russia's, the recipients are virtually without exception the world's most dangerous enemies of freedom. This practice is making a mockery of President Obama's much-touted "reset" of relations with the Kremlin - including, notably, the new, bilateral START Treaty. It also increases exponentially the dangers associated with his policy of "engaging" rogue states, a practice that is simply affording them time to buy ever-more-advanced and -deadly weapons from Moscow.

Consider just a few examples of the Arsenal for Roguery at work, and its implications for our security, and that of what's left of the Free World:

Even as the President continues to claim that the Russians are willing to be more helpful in getting tougher UN sanctions on Iran, the Kremlin is allowing the nuclear reactor it previously sold Tehran to be brought on line. It is pledging to complete the transfer of advanced S-300 air defense systems, which will greatly complicate - if not effectively preclude -- aerial attacks by the Israelis or U.S. forces aimed at destroying that facility and others associated with the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

Russia is also selling the S-300 to Syria. This is important because the Syrians have justly been put on notice by Israel that they would be subjected to retaliatory strikes in the event Russian-designed (and perhaps -supplied?) Scud missiles transferred recently by Damascus to Hezbollah in Lebanon are used against the Jewish state. Such Russian protection may embolden Syria to believe that it can unleash with impunity death and destruction on Israel (perhaps by using Scud-delivered biological or chemical weapons) via its terrorist proxies - and Iran's.

The Russians have also been marketing to international customers a family of deadly sea-skimming anti-ship cruise missiles with air-, surface- and submarine-launched variants. These Brahmos rocket/ramjet missiles were jointly developed with the Indians and can fly at up to 2.5 times the speed of sound. The proliferation of such missiles constitutes a serious threat to American naval and other vessels given the difficulties of defending against a weapon with these flight characteristics.

Then, there is the up-to-$5 billion in arms sales that Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin claims to have concluded with our hemisphere's most dangerous dictator, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. What exactly is on offer is unclear. But the purchase reportedly includes T-72 tanks and S-300 missiles. This comes on top of Chavez's earlier acquisitions of 100,000 Kalashnikov automatic rifles, helicopters, fighter jets and submarines. Evidently, a Russian nuclear reactor is also being promised.

But, not to worry. According to the Associated Press, Putin declared during his most recent sales visit to Caracas earlier this month: "Our objective is to make the world more democratic, make it balanced and multi-polar. The cooperation between Russia and Venezuela in this context has special importance." Feel better?

We definitely do not feel better under the Obama Doctrine. In fact, we believe Obama is making the world more dangerous with his playing up to the Russians and Chavez and refusing to take a hard line stand on Iran while he goes after Israel with attacks when he talks.
