"Don't Do Stupid Sh*t"

[The Rabbi]

That, believe it or not, is the foreign policy of the U.S. under Obama. I'm not making that up, that's from Obama himself. This is a teenage administration, complete with drama queens, selfies, hashtags, and other paraphernalia of juvenile life. Remember when the adults were in charge? I miss those days.
Here's The Architect laying out Obama's many many failures in foreign policy.
Karl Rove: Obama's Foreign Policy Fails His Own Test - WSJ

'Don't do stupid sh—." That is the description of President Obama's foreign policy, as crafted by White House message mavens and articulated by the president himself during a recent off-the-record press briefing aboard Air Force One in route to Asia. Mr. Obama reportedly exhorted reporters to chant it back to him.

A crude, meaningless phrase cannot substitute for statecraft, and the administration's actions—or often enough, its inaction—fail to meet his own test.

It was unwise (we'll avoid using "stupid") for Mr. Obama to say in August 2011 that Syrian President Bashar Assad should go—without having a plan to force him out. A year later in August, Mr. Obama declared that Mr. Assad would cross a "red line" if he used chemical weapons. When Mr. Assad did just that, Mr. Obama didn't take immediate action. Today Mr. Assad is more entrenched than he was.

It was also unwise when Mr. Obama refused to arm the moderate Syrian opposition in 2011. Now that the opposition is weak and radicalized, he has suggested that he is considering arming them.

Then there was the Iranian "Green Revolution" of 2009-10, when Mr. Obama gave comfort to the mullahs, not those seeking freedom. It was not smart to later weaken sanctions on Iran in return for vague promises to rein in its nuclear program.
