Obama’s Failed Administration
Barack Obama is destroying America’s standing in the world. We used to be considered the leader of the world in promoting freedom and democracy. But recently we’ve paved the way for anarchy, extremism, and terrorism in the Middle East because of Obama’s indecision and insistence on consensus building with people that want nothing to do with cooperating with the West and want no part in democracy. Instead of providing support for those demanding freedom and democracy in the Arab world, we’ve taken a wait and see approach and allowed extremist organizations to take over the Arab Spring and install increasingly radical, oppressive governments in areas where democracy was once demanded. The Syrian opposition has pleaded for help and we tried to build consensus in the UN while the army crushed a peaceful opposition. When we finally decided to provide support, the arms we sent ended up going to Al-Qaida and other radical, violent islamists which overwhelmed the moderate opposition with the arms we gave them. The level of incompetence in this administration is unfathomable.
After the fall of Gaddafi in Libya, instead of helping to set up a democratic government and the rule of law, we took a hands-off approach and the State Department refused repeated requests from Ambassador Stevens for increased security because he saw how strong Al-Qaida was getting. The tragic result of the Obama Administrations dismissal of his concerns was the death of the Ambassador and three other American at the hands off radical terrorists.
Libya and Syria are falling into the hands of well funded terrorists at the grave expense of freedom and democracy that their people have fought so hard for.
Soon Iran will have nuclear weapons and the Arab world will be rife with radical, oppressive regimes. The world is becoming a much more dangerous place than it was before Obama took office.
