That's a quote from Obama when talking about his foreign policy approach to reporters on Air Force One on his recent trip to Asia. David Rothkopf takes apart this "policy" in a fairly lengthy article. As Rothkopf sees it, this is just another step down from the early days of the Obama rise, days when he was praised for his speeches at Cairo, Prague, the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rothkopf is terribly disappointed with Obama and proceeds to take apart many of the foreign policies of the Obama administration: the Afghanistan 'surge', the growth of the NSA, the Syria fiasco that was bailed out by Russia, lack of planning re Libya, focus on al Qaeda and ignoring the rise of other terrorist organizations, failing to reach a decision re Egypt, the celebration of the Berghdal transfer.
