If you want peace...

When Horace said, "Ignorant of the way to make life secure, he diluted war with peace," he must have been thinking about Joe Biden.

Top Ten Barack Obama Foreign Policy Strategies

Photo source: US News

Now that America is respected around the world again, I have to marvel at the skill with which President Obama brought that about. In order to gain insight into how he did it, I compiled a list of Top Ten Barack Obama Foreign Policy Strategies:

#10 Cement relations with our allies by returning a bust of one of their most cherished prime ministers.

#9 Further cement relations by being too busy to meet with them.

#8 Set timetables for troop withdrawals.

#7 Support anti-government demonstrations in countries friendly to the United States, but go out for ice cream during demonstrations in countries hostile to the United States.

#6 Never act without permission from the UN (permission from Congress is optional).

#5 Denigrate, during speeches in foreign nations, the moral sense and national vision of the United States (the “Apology Tour”).

#4 Promise our rivals that we’ll be more flexible after the election.

#3 When the Pakistani government imprisons and tortures the doctor who helped you locate bin Laden, ask for “clarification.”

#2 As a hostile country ruled by radical Islamists approaches completion of a nuclear bomb, give them a stern talking to.

And the number one Barack Obama foreign policy strategy…
#1. Bow.
