Hat Tip, The National Interest, & The Heritage Foundation, by James Jay Carafano:

Obama's Sloppy History Problem

The massacre of Americans at the US consulate in Libya made that Obama effort the poster-child for the failure of on-the-cheap-foreign-policy.

In Afghanistan the White House is racing towards zero, while civilian deaths at the hands of the Taliban racing in the opposite direction.

And Syria is looking like an endless war.

Assuming that Johnson’s problem was fighting a long war is lazy history. Some long wars must be fought. Johnson’s problem was he fought a stupid war.

A less superficial history of the Vietnam conflict suggests that the progressive way of war is anything but the practice “smart” power. Johnson actually started out acting much like Obama, trying to do just enough to avoid being accused of doing nothing. This approach—doing as little as possible to get by—is called the “incrementalist” strategy.

The problem with an incrementalist approach is that the enemy pretty quickly figures out your strategy—and responds by incrementally and repeatedly upping the ante. Johnson got sucked into doing more and more until he was in too deep. Then he lacked the judgment to fight the war in a manner that would lead to a responsible conclusion.

The only difference between Johnson and Obama is that, in trying avoid being another Johnson, Obama is even more cautious and risk averse. In reality, however, he winds up in the same place—failing to defend U.S. interests and leaving the world convinced that America is in retreat.

When it comes to foreign policy, Obama’s sloppy history is feeding his penchant for failing often and early.

James Jay Carafano is vice president of defense and foreign policy studies at The Heritage Foundation.

It doesn't seem to matter how inept he is to his adoring fans (Whose ranks are dwindling). As conservatives have always known, he is a f**e. A f**e president, a f**e leader, a f**e man, you name it, he's a f**e.
Why are our Republican leaders so afraid of him? Even I have enough on him to impeach him!

No, actually. Most of them are owned by the Bilderberg group. They are the ones that own most of the national media outlets. They have also bought most newspapers too.

While they say they have no agenda, it is believed they have and are directing events around the world through finance & networking with governments on a global basis.
As to what end, there is much speculation, however, it probably isn't good for the rest of us.
Really too much too type out. Check it out for yourself.
Come to your own conclusions.
