Indeed, I’ve always said that if the folks living in the Arab nations didn’t have the United States or Israel as an enemy, then they would be busy fighting amongst themselves.

Some of President Obama’s political opposition insist that his administration’s current foreign policies are insufficient, unwise, and potentially dangerous for the future of humanity. Depending on your political persuasion you might agree or vehemently disagree, such is politics. For those who charge that the President is too busy playing golf, or playing hooky when it comes to intelligence briefings, I’d say such charges might not be very well founded. Nevertheless, the record does speak for itself. Consider, the most recent events around the world.
