O's Foreign Failures

Ralph Peters is every bit as impressed with Obama's foreign policy as the rest of us.

AMERICA'S enemies smell blood and it's type "O."

All new administrations stumble a bit as they seek their footing. But President Obama's foreign-policy botches have set new records for instant incompetence.

Contrary to left-wing myths, I wasn't a fan of the Bush administration. (I called for Donald Rumsfeld to get the boot in mid-2001.) But fair's fair. Despite his many faults, Bush sought to do good. Obama just wants to look good.

Don't worry about the new administration's ideology. Worry about its terrifying naivete.
