President Obama's "peace and harmony" foreign policy is more reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain than Winston Churchill. In typical do-gooder fashion, this inexperienced leader either naively believes we can truly have "peace in our time" through dialogue with our enemies, egotistically believes he can win over our enemies by apologizing for our "past, misguided leaders," or is trying to undermine this nation's superpower status.
The president on Thursday addressed his plan to close Gitmo and ban "torture" methods used in the Bush years to extract key information from terrorists that saved the lives of many, many Americans during the past 7 1/2 years. Apparently, Obama is more concerned with this country's reputation in the world than with its security. What he doesn't seem to understand is that no matter how we try to get foreigners to like us, the rest of the world will always hate us. Just read "Hating America" by John Gibson.
Obama called the Gitmo problem a mess left him from the previous administration. It's getting tiresome hearing everything being blamed on Bush. He isn't president anymore; Obama is the man. He needs to heed his own words, quit looking to the past and just do his job. He needs to admit he made a mistake by hastily calling for Gitmo's closure without a detailed plan to handle all the inherent problems.
But then, it has become very clear, even in just 100 days into his presidency, that Obama can't --- or won't -- admit he's wrong about anything.
