Reader comment on item: The One-Minute Guide to Obama's Foreign Policy
in response to reader comment: Confused Am I

Submitted by Dianne (United States), Oct 16, 2015 at 23:45

I agree with Barry and had the same thought (about Obama's policy and consequences) before I read Barry's comment. But I think the consequences/results are not a surprise to Obama. I think he knows what he is doing and what results he is hoping for, which is helping Iran to become a nuclear player on the world stage. I think he is a brilliant ideologue , with a successful foreign policy if you happen to be an islamic muslim, and an unsuccessful foreign policy if you happen to be an American.

I don't think there is a little bit of both in it at all for either case. If there is, speaking to any country, not necessarily Iran, what exactly is the successful part of his policy for the United States?
