What are Obamas Foreign Policy Achievements?

5 years out of the way. What can Obama boast as his foreign policy achievements? I can only think of the following:

His "Pivot towards Asia" has successfully filled a vacuum that the Chinese and hoped to fill in and around the South China Sea, effectively preventing China from claiming the disputed territory for themselves at the expense of 7-8 other countries.

Any other nominations?

He let the Seals kill the Head Lunatic Muslim. That's about it. And that's not foreign policy...its just all I could think of.

The most embarrassing was that Reset Button with Russia. Putin realized right then that he was dealing with rank amateurs....and he has toyed with them ever since.

The most damaging will likely be the deal he has made with Iran. Its not surprising that he would make it. He will tell the American people that Iran must not be allowed to have a nuclear bomb...but that is exactly what he means to allow. He is a Liar you see.

He particularly likes to lie to the American people. He has learned that they are stupid enough to believe him.

Tough three years coming up with America's foreign policy.

He kept our troops out of Egypt, Libya, and Syria.

That's a big step up from the previous administrations foreign policy of finding any reason they could to put our soldiers into danger.

But to be fair, Obama... wtf are we still doing in Afghanistan?

 

[MACAULAY]

Why are we still in Afghanistan?

Give it back to them and let them live in the 9th century like they want to. I feel sorry for the women though.

Yeah. But in such a destitute and barren land what can anybody really do?

Egypt;

Obama foreign policy is to support terrorists. Terrorists lose.

Libya;

Obama foreign policy sends newly armed terrorists into Mali. Obama rescued by the French.

Syria;

Obama foreign policy draws red line with chemical weapons use against civilians. Obama trips over red line.




These policies are actually extra-terrestrial, not just foreign.

If your foreign policy is defined by what "bad things" you didn't do, then you don't really have successful foreign policies to brag about.

Neither do republicans

Constitutional law 101. The Executive branch of government and the Legislative Senate control foreign policy.

Republicans are not charged with running foreign policy at the moment now are they?

Yes I think those laws might've also applied to the last administration

I am sure that somewhere in USMB archives is a thread entitled: "What are Bush's Foreign Policy Achievements?"

That noted, a foreign policy achievement that Obama has is;

Obama Signs 3 Trade Deals, Biggest Since NAFTA | Fox News

Responsibly?

Who's running weapons through Iraq right now? Iran
Who's taken over the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi? AQ
Who's using Iraq as a safe haven to mobilize against Syria? The Syrian Rebels
Who's drilling in Iraq right now? The British and the Chinese.
Who has Iraq turned to geopolitically? Iran

Got rid of Khadafi? Indeed he did. But there was a time when we should have gotten rid of Khadafi. After he started to cooperate with the United States because he feared Bush was not the time. Libya is more dangerous to US interests today than it was before we intervened and it will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

Iran to the table? Iran is playing Obama for the weak fool he is. This is the classic difference between liberal and conservative foreign policy. Liberals actually believe that if you tuck your tail between your legs and nicely open your heart to brutal regimes they will get a warm fuzzy and give up their nasty ways. The last president who held such a foreign policy was Carter. It didn't work for him and it wont work for Obama. Obama is liked around the world. He is not respected. People like those they can walk over. People respect those they can't.

Got our good name back in the world? Once again, revert the previous statement. Obama is liked, not respected.

Inspired democracy's? Where?

 

[francoHFW]

INSPIRED DEMOCRACY EVERYWHERE, DINGBAT...LOL

So, is the terrorist Assad AND terrorist SYRIA BOTHERING ANYONE, ANYMORE...LOL...


EVERYTHING will improve when this Pub world economic disaster ends, and jihad is no longer a good career move- so get the feg out of the way of the recovery, mindless, brainwashed obstructionist a-holes.

Thank you.

So Iraq ended up how liberals predicted and Obama is liked not respected. That's what I got from your post.

"Liked and not possibly not respected" is better than "hated and openly disrespected" so whatever the next administration is it should have a better starting point than Obama had.

 

[francoHFW]

We'll see about Iran, but McCain or Romney would've probably started another stupid war. They're ready to be a lot different...the youngest, best educated country in the ME...SCREWED BY THE WEST FOR 70 YEARS, HAVEN'T ATTACKED ANYONE IN OVER 2000...

Obama cranked out f Iraq with the understanding that it would be blamed on Bush if anything went wrong yes. Bush, however, would have broke some noses getting the Status of Forces Agreement, of which, Obama wanted (Because he knew it was necessary) but failed to achieve. The current state of Iraq is his foreign policy failure.

Whatever you think of Bush, he was respected. Whatever you think of Obama, he is liked. Liked is not good when seeking your foreign interests! In fact, it is very bad! Worse than loathed and worse than hated (because you can respect someone you hate). If you are liked it means people are walking all over you and getting you to complete their interests over your own.
