Boston Herald Cover Says It All



Back when Obama sent soldiers to rescue Bergdahl there were people who wondered why he would do so for a deserter.

Over a year later it's been confirmed Bergdahl was indeed a deserter.

So. Now we assess the decision and the trade; just like we do in sports.

Can anyone with a straight face now claim this was the right thing to do considering the U.S. released some really bad dudes and soldiers lost their lives bringing his sorry butt back?

If Obama's negotiating skills bring him to such decisions, can he really be trusted to make a deal with Iran?

Think of this for a second. Iran is the leitmotif of Mid-East politics. The Americans had no diplomatic relations with a country whose terrorist tentacles reach all corners of the globe.

Moreover, you can't deal with Iran by ignoring or even chastising Israel - to say nothing of sophomorically meddling in their affairs. Israel voted for Netanyahu and that was a clear signal of where they want things to go and Obama would be wise to consider this reality.

They have every right to have a say in the matter; especially given the Obama administrations dubious foreign policy record.

Obama is embarking on something that makes me wonder if it's above his pay grade so to speak. I have yet to see any shred of evidence he's up to the task to have the United States of America entangled with Iran and Israel.

Worse, he seems willing to antagonize Israel (as he's done with allies like Poland in eastern Europe) to get what he wants.

More on 'Smart diplomacy' in my Daily Round up coming up.
