President Obama seems to be betting that closing GitMo and ending involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq will be seen as a “butt out of their business” sort of.
The global economy and the market for oil has made such political posturing hollow and “good faith” gesturing short sighted.
What will the folks taught to fear Al Qaeda, and subject to the rule of the Taliban think? How will this gesture affect them and eventually us? I hope there is more to this than what we have seen, thus far, but I fear not. Without further proof I must conclude that President Obama is a bigger fool than I thought possible. He is not ready for the position he is in. He doesn’t even appear up to the challenges of the “adults” in his congress.
This will be a rough four years, and I do not believe there will be a reelection of this disaster.
