Does anyone know what it is?

President Obama expands and continues the Surveillance Act. Expands and extends the Patriot Act. Gitmo remains open....and open for business conducting military tribunals on detainees denied due process. He has built a massive prison(Parwan) that holds more detainees than does Gitmo. 60,00 troops remain in Afghanistan. Egypt and Libya by Hillary's own testimony have, in fact many regions of the African Continent have growing, serious, and obviously deadly Islamic extremism issues. Syria the great uncovered story by the media is a disaster. The Middle East is still an absolute matchstick, Iran by proxy just as much if not more an unstabling factor in the ME. What is the policy towards Iran and/or North North Korea? Nuclear proliferation? Israel or our European partners? Is anyone even paying attention?

The President coming out tomorrow with sanctions against China....to what end? They're obviously hacking and what do they fear from this President? Sanctions? Here is the President....offering trillions more in debt....that will be purchased by the Chinese, he's gonna sanction China?

Does anyone know.....can anyone explain direction or any cohesion concerning our present day foreign policy?

Can you imagine the shivering Chinese leadership watching our President tomorrow attempt to slap them on the hand. Barack fresh off the golf course, all refreshed. No doubt prepared to confront all of these issues currently unraveling abroad....with a US economy stagnant and about to have a health care debacle unleashed on them. Quivering with fear no doubt.:eek:

Congratulations to our constituents. For taking a measured approach last November, for walking up to the polls aware and with command of the real issues facing this nation both domestic and abroad. It's a three ring circus, I'm afraid our Captain may not be up to the task. So I want to personally thank those responsible.

American policy remains what it has been since the War - Imperialism. What's the poroblem?

The White House is expected to announce a new series of sanctions against China which is suspected to be behind cyber-espionage attacks on major US companies and more than 140 cases of hacking can be directly linked to a Chinese military unit based in Shanghai. China is increasingly active in its cyber-espionage operations, which coincides with its hawkish stance on the issue regarding the disputed islands off Japan and the Obama administration's soft image may be a contributing factor to China's reckless behaviour in the last few years because Washington has been too fearful of China's financial clout to do anything about it.

I do not know the details of our policy...nor do I need to.

My impression in general, is that we have backed away from the bully status, and become something worse, to both our enemies and ourselves.

Instead of walking around with a sledgehammer...we will simply kill you in your sleep.

Instead of sending an Army you can see...we send something more lethal and invisible.

Instead of falling asleep wondering if we will send the fleet...you no longer sleep, because the bug outside might not be an insect.

1) Barack Obama has been fittingly called "George Bush II" (see below) and in many aspects is worse than Bush when it comes to usurping our civil liberties. While Bush was as easily lead puppet, Obama is a corporate tool.

2) China and Iran are the least of our worries when it comes to security against domestic terrorism and North Korea, for all its sword rattling, is years away from developing an delivery system capable of threatening the continental US.

3) When it comes to China, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Corporate US sold out this country, relocating hundreds of thousands of jobs in China and we like sheeple, buy their second-rate, often dangerous goods,

4) The instability in the ME has been furthered by the US oil cartels and their surrogate, Barack Obama. In this article "Destroying a Nation State: US-Saudi Funded Terrorists Sowing Chaos in Pakistan" it relates how the US and Saudi Arabia are funding terrorist groups such as al Qaeda in order to overthrow the Pakistani government. However, those groups are funneling some of that money to Mali, where the French are fighting Islamic extremists.

Bottom Line; We are allowing the government and corporations to sow our own seeds of destruction.

Yup - if they take their money home you are in deep trouble.

I shouldn't bet on it. People remember things, and the Chinese may smack your bums on their behalf.

You really buy into that myth? China is a power in it's own right now (not sure why people keep going on about America being the only superpower) but they have nothing on America. They're poorer, have inferior tech, a smaller economy and don't own our debt.

So like his energy policy, or his policies on entitlements, no one knows what we're trying to do abroad either?
