National security expert: Obama’s naive foreign policy putting America at risk
Allen Roth, president of the foreign policy advocacy group Secure America Now, believes the average American has a sounder understanding of security and foreign policy issues than those in government.
In this three-part video interview with The Daily Caller, Roth discusses how President Obama’s policies put American security in jeopardy.
According to Roth, our president’s disengagement policy has “diminished America and its people in the eyes of the world” and “created a vacuum” that other powers are maneuvering to fill.
His organization aims to inform people on all sides on the issues, who, he says, mostly agree on national security issues. Roth disapproves of the previous, more adventurous foreign policy that attempted to impose American values with force, but he also spares no criticism toward this president.
Obama is, according to Roth, in the process of dismantling decades of bipartisan foreign policy consensus aimed at maintaining security for America.
Obama’s policies have made victims of Christians in the Middle East and the American people, according to Roth. Roth says that “the way terrorists are treated in this country, the movement of hardened terrorists out of Guantanamo is not something that doesn’t have consequences. It has huge consequences.”
Roth says that the enduring lesson of Benghazi is that “the American government, from Hillary Clinton to the White House made grievous errors, and in some cases covered up the truth about Benghazi.”
“The message that sends to our enemies is we don’t care about our own people,” he continued.
Beyond embracing a dangerous naiveté, Roth says that the Obama foreign policy team “marches to a different drummer than the average American.”
He continues, “This administration has not only reflects what I would call the immoral beliefs of a lot of the cultural elites, but stokes their agenda, supports their agendas, whether it’s at the United Nations or whether it is at other international institutions. They have in fact encouraged them, given them power, legitimacy of the United States of America. That’s not the American people. That’s the Obama administration.”
Wild Thing’s comment………..
Obama only favors Muslims and not Americans. I bet he never had one sleepless night about the deaths in Benghazi.
