The new administration's first order of business was to close Quantanamo and to order US troops out of Iraq within 16 months. The message to the Islamofascist:: (1) We are guilty of torturing murders and mass killers; (2) we have a presidential time table to walk away from the war so be be patient; and (3) Israel bombed the Gaza when Bush was in office and stopped on inauguration day which means our only ally in the Middle is now at risk. President Obama wants the Israelis to negotiate with the NGOs.
The Israelis and the ungrateful world is safer today because of what the Israelis did in Gaza. However, President Obama will undo whatever good was done by withdrawing American power and arms from the Middle East and admitting as much guilt as is humanly possible in order to ingratiate ourselves with every two bit terrorist regime in the Middle East.
And so begins a four year decline in our safety and security. The Saudis, like all good sharks, smell blood in the water and Al Qaeda or some new incarnation of it will be back for the feeding frenzy.
