It’s time now, after many months of watching the Obama disaster before our eyes, to define what looks like “The Obama Doctrine”, his ideological belief system now put into practice.
First off, Barack Obama frequently downplays American Sovereignty. We have:
On the surface these treaties with an international flair may seem quite admirable on the surface but digging deeper into Obama purpose always reveals more. These treaties leak into American domestic affairs and not on the positive side.
Recently submitting its “Report of the United States of America” to the UN Human Rights Council (HRC), whose dubious members include Cuba, Russia and Saudi Arabia, not necessarily stalwarts of human rights discipline.
In the report the Obama administration attacks Arizona immigration law which attempts to provide law enforcement where the Federal government is failing. This is not a human rights issue but the administration woefully portrays the Arizona law as an infringement on human rights. In the end, this attack upon Arizona is an attack upon American Sovereignty. Certainly, enforcing immigration law and border security upholds the US Constitution and is not violating anyone’s human rights.
Donald Rumsfeld used the term “light footprint” when the US invaded Iraq to liberate its people. Barack Obama wishes to reduce American power to “Soft-Power” to demonstrate to the world that American exceptionalism is nothing and we are all equals on God’s green earth. Upon taking office in 2009 Obama said “[if] countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us.”
However, French President Nicholas Sarkozy has a different view of the world:
“We live in the real world, not a virtual one… President Obama himself has said that he dreams of a world without nuclear weapons. Before our very eyes, two countries are doing exactly the opposite at this very moment… I support America’s ‘extended hand.’ But what have these proposals for dialogue produced for the international community? Nothing but more enriched uranium and more centrifuges.“
Some like the Taliban, al-Qaeda and Iranian tyrant Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cannot be persuaded to lay down their arms under a doctrine of soft power and they prove that each day.
Further, Barack Obama wishes to Restrain American power by reducing its nuclear armaments. Sadly for Obama he states:
“Whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower.“
Obama actions speak louder than words. Funding has been cut for the F-22 fighter jet and the administration is now looking into terminating the development of the next generation Navy Cruiser with missile defense capabilities.
A strong and vibrant US Military is not only about fighting wars. Setting a perception to the world about American military power provides what Ronald Reagan emphasized – Peace through strength. American security is most reliably assured by having military forces that are fully trained, equipped and ready to deter or defeat the nation’s adversaries. If the world has a perception of American weakness it becomes a destabilizing force across the globe.
How can we forget Obama’s Apology Tour and his Top Ten apologies to the world?
10. Apology for Guantanamo in Washington: “There is also no question that Guantanamo set back the moral authority that is America’s strongest currency in the world. … Rather than keeping us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security. It is a rallying cry for our enemies.”
9. Apology for the Mistakes of the CIA: “So don’t be discouraged by what’s happened in the last few weeks. Don’t be discouraged that we have to acknowledge potentially we’ve made some mistakes.”
8. Apology for U.S. Policy toward the Americas: “Too often, the United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors. We have been too easily distracted by other priorities, and have failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas.”
7. Apology before the Turkish Parliament: “The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history. … Our country still struggles with the legacies of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.”
6. Apology for Guantanamo in France: “I don’t believe that there is a contradiction between our security and our values. And when you start sacrificing your values, when you lose yourself, then over the long term that will make you less secure.”
5. Apology for the War on Terror: “Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. … In other words, we went off course.”
4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders: “I would like to think that with my election and the early decisions that we’ve made, that you’re starting to see some restoration of America’s standing in the world.”
3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas: “While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms. … So I’m here to launch a new chapter of engagement that will be sustained throughout my administration. The United States will be willing to acknowledge past errors where those errors have been made.”
2. Apology to the Muslim World: “We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”
1. Apology to France and Europe: “Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
Obama has only been able to portray the United States as weak. Jimmy Carter apologized to the world for America’s “excessive fear” of Communism. After Carter spoke the Soviet Union embarked on the invasion of Afghanistan and Iran took American’s hostage.
Woodrow Wilson demonstrated America as weak by proposing an “ethical” foreign policy and a “concert of nations.” America didn’t fend off World War I with Wilson’s weak America stance and we actually took on an isolationist policy during the 1920s and 30s which ultimately led to World War II. We waited to get bombed at Pearl Harbor before entering the war.
Other US Presidents held a different vision for America:
American exceptionalism shows an indispensable nation in the defense of liberty around the world. The Obama Doctrine demonstrates the opposite – nations will look elsewhere for help and our adversaries will see the United States as weak and powerless. The Obama Doctrine creates a more dangerous world by emboldening our enemies. Indeed!

Reflecting on the feckless Barack Hussein Obama concerning Iraq and watching the impotent Obama today as 21 more US soldiers fall in Afghanistan in 48 hours.
Obama, wrong then, wrong today. Indeed!

It would be easy to just write – “Barack Hussein Obama” is a total failure” but let’s get specific and off the economy and his total domestic agenda for a while.
Today’s Wall Street Journal is filled with commentary on Obama’s Oval Office speech tonight proclaiming an end to fighting in Iraq. Yes, combat troops left Iraq but nearly 50,000 more combat troops in non-combat assignments remain. If they are attacked, how long will it be before they go into combat mode?
One thing we shouldn’t expect is for Obama to give credit to George W. Bush for the successful surge in Iraq. We should expect Obama to declare victory in Iraq demonstrated by his withdrawal with violence still percolating.
But no, Obama telegraphed his intentions from his expensive rental have at Martha’s Vineyard this past weekend and the operative word was his favorite first person singular pronoun I.
“As a candidate for this office, I pledged I would end this war. As President, that is what I am doing. We have brought home more than 90,000 troops since I took office.”
“End of combat” is nice for a talking point and to satisfy your Leftist base but the truth is, combat on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan is not at an end, it is not gone, it is not over, it is growing. What is really happening is Obama proclaims and “end to combat” for he is really snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
On August 12, Iraq’s top military leader, General Babaker Zebari, warned that Iraqi security forces will not be able to fully secure their own country until 2020.
“If I were asked about the withdrawal,” he said, “I would say to politicians: The U.S. Army must stay until the Iraq Army is fully ready in 2020.”
Under Obama policy in Iraq, al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and its affiliated groups have made a comeback and continue to slaughter policemen, government officials, and civilians on a daily basis. Nearly 500 civilians were killed in July, the highest monthly death toll since 2008.
Last week insurgents launched a campaign of terrorist attacks across the country, killing hundreds of innocent civilians, police, and government officials. On Wednesday—the same day insurgents launched coordinated attacks on 13 cities and towns throughout Iraq that claimed 51 lives—an insurgent Web site proclaimed:
“The countdown has begun to return Iraq to the embrace of Islam and its Sunnis, with God’s permission.”
Instead of declaring victory Obama should stop feeding the terrorist beast with timelines. Obama has repeated that he plans to remove all troops in Iraq by the end of 2011 and in Afghanistan; he still maintains that he will begin drawing down forces by July 2011. This is not a military strategy but total and unequivocal incompetents at the highest level. Indeed!

Serbians were bombed by the Clinton administration in an “antiseptic” war lobbing rockets to destroy a country because of ethnic cleansing of Muslims. I certainly don’t support ethnic cleansing but examining what has occurred in Kosovo, which was taken over by Albanian Muslims with few Serbs left is significant and not something discussed in the press.
While Muslims wish to build a 14-15 story Mosque at or near Ground Zero in New York City, already having a Mosque within a few blocks of that site and at least 100 known Mosques in the city, the left would like to discuss freedom of religion and tolerance. So lets talk about freedom of religion and tolerance, in Kosovo.
Kosovo has changed hands and been in territorial dispute for hundreds of years. However, many Orthodox Serbian churches were built in the territory known as Kosovo. What is happening to those churches and monasteries now?
Over 150 churches and monasteries in Kosovo, Serbia have been destroyed or seriously damaged over the last 6-7 years. Now authorities project to turn the hull of one sanctuary into a nightclub. The Church of Christ the Savior in Pristina has been turned into public toilet.
Thousands of Islamics committed the sacrilege. Three thousands soldiers of the Bundeswehr Germany Army stood by in Prizzen and did nothing to stop the carnage. They did not shield a single sanctuary from destruction. It was, however, their obligation to ward off the fanatics. They did nothing of the sort.
Not one political leader has spoken in defense of the Christians. Not one has castigated the Allah-crazed Islamics. Not one has accepted responsibility for this Muslim murdering madness.
Mosques, in the meantime, are being constructed all over Kosovo. Allah be praised. The Koran be honored. Mohammed be crowned.
Vice President Joe Biden paid a visit to Kosovo in 2009, considered an independent state by many, leaving a deep split in the Serbian church. The diocese overseeing Kosovo, which the church considers the cradle of Serbian Orthodoxy, issued a strong statement condemning the visit.
“The U.S. vice president is visiting Kosovo as an independent state, to confirm forceful secession of Serbia’s territory and its hand over to Albanian terrorist who were not punished for numerous crimes against Serbian people, Serbian property and Serbian cultural and religious heritage,” the diocese said in a statement. “Does Joseph Biden want to confirm with his gesture that Decani is an American base in Kosovo, the same as Camp Bondsteel?”
“The Decani monastery unfortunately has become known for its acts against Serbia’s interests, becoming in a sense a base for anti-Serbian acting in Kosovo as confirmed by this visit.”
Joe Biden once called to “put Serbs in concentration camps”, should mind his own business and stay out of Serbian affairs.
The ancient churches and monasteries of the Serbians have been destroyed for the last decade. MakNews.com reports in 2009:
On November 17, 2002 UNMIK police reported that the Serbian Orthodox Church, St. Basil the Miracle Worker of Ostrog (Sveti Vasilije Ostrovski) in Ljubovo village between Istok and Banja near Pec, had been totally destroyed with explosives, with only the front façade still intact. In Djurakovac, 30 miles west of Pristina, a second Serbian Orthodox Church was bombed/mined and heavily damaged, the Church of All Serbian Saints. The interior of the church was gutted following three explosions. This brought the number of Orthodox Churches destroyed or damaged since NATO and the UN occupied Kosovo to 112. This has been an unprecedented act of genocide. The planned and systematic destruction of the Christian history of Kosovo-Metohija under US/NATO/EU sponsorship. Churches that had survived for over 500 years under Ottoman Turkish rule were reduced to rubble under the protection of 30,000 NATO troops.
On December 2, 2002, 46 tombstones at the Orthodox cemetery in Kosovo Polje and Decani were destroyed following celebrations of Albanian Flag Day held on November 28 near the Visoki Decani Monastery. The KFOR troops did nothing to protect the cemetery. The Orthodox cemetery is one hundred meters from the Italian checkpoint and the KFOR base. The Serbian Orthodox Church representative stated that “the cemetery is now completely desolate with not a single grave intact.” These acts of vandalism and wanton destruction “threaten to erase any trace of Serbian presence in the region.”
This is the tip of the Muslim genocide against Serbians and Christian churches and it’s nearly impossible to find reporting from the mainstream media.
We are asked to invoke the US Constitution and freedom of religion so a Mosque can be built war Islamofascists attacked America. We are asked to allow Sharia law to stand with the laws of the United States. We are asked to be tolerant yet Mosques are all over New York City. This isn’t about tolerance, it’s about sticking a thumb in the eye of free religion other than Islam.
Where is the Muslim tolerance around the world? Where are churches and synagogues in the Middle East? Where is the world standing up for Serbians and there religious heritage? It doesn’t exist!
The video below shows the Serbian monastery called Manastir Devic, built up in 1434 (XV century). Albanian terrorists have started their first attacks burning and destroying this monastery since 1949. Finally, after pull out of the Serbian army and arrival of NATO and UN to make peace in Kosovo and Metohija, this monastery has been completely destroyed, 17 March 2004.
Unfortunately, this monastery shares its destiny with over 274 Serbian churches and monasteries that have been destroyed by Albanians since 1988.
Why are Albanians still supported by America, Britain, Germany and most of EU counties to take Kosovo from Serbia (even though by every single international law Kosovo is and has been Serbian for centuries.
Is this what American politicians so proudly call democracy?
