Krauthammer: No Hillary. Assad is NOT a "reformer"
2011-04-01
Takes the Hammer™ to Sec. Pantsuit's characterization of Assad and Obama's fecklessness on both the anti-Syrian demonstrations and last year's anti-Mullah demonstrators. In both cases, We treat our enemies better than our friends. All due to Oblahblah's narcissist belief that he can talk the enemies out of their behavior

#3  Who's out there that matches that description?

John Bolton. He's got the stones AND the mustache.

#2  I said before and I will say it again:

The obama (he's such a lightweight, I'm not capitalizing his name anymore) administration has no foreign policy. There is no consistency, no coherence, no logic or rationale to anything the administration does.

I am not a fan of Hillary as a SecState but she probably has a better grip on international affairs than obama. John Kerry does also but the overarching theme is that the obama administration is a fractured dysfunctional mess in foreign policy. Otherwise the French and the Brits would not have grabbed the initiative. They knew obama wasn't going to do anything.

So much for being complex and nuisanced. It's just an excuse to obviate and procrastinate.

It is tragic, the next President will have to work very hard to fix the damage. We will need a SecState with an iron will and iron balls to make it work. Who's out there that matches that description?

Where are the hard nosed no nonsense negotiators and representatives of American foreign policy?

#1  Yeah, Hillary, Assad is a reformer. If he can't reform you to his way of thinking, he kills you.
