If you have enjoyed the clusterf*cks that were Iraq and Afghanistan under Bush, you’re going to love the reamng we are going to get when we invade Iran (for no reason) under Romney. Remember, the Iranian people like America. They do. Under Romney, Iran (and the rest of the world) will hate us more than they ever did under Bush/Cheney.
skipping several opportunities…@99%….Obama is the epitome of HOW NOT TO CONDUCT FOREIGN POLICY.-Bush got Congress’ approval for fighting back against the global jihadists that committed 3000 murders at 9/11/01,then Bush got the UK and 33 allied nations to join in the new War Against Terror that Clinton refused to initiate after 2 US embassies were attacked….and Bush set the Hunt for bin Laden in force……Bush didn’t have a Pakistani doctor to turn in bin Laden during his term in office. Obama kept Bush policies in place….O’s “new” policies of treating terror as “street crime” has proven to be totally inept, bankrupt, and ineffectual and did not prevent 9/11/12 Benghazi and 4 more dead Americans.-the Obama foreign policy stands today in ashes and smoke.O’s illegal “war” in Libya has borne “fruit” and it is bitter for America. Obama aided and abetted the Muslim Brotherhood (parent of bin Laden and al Qaeda) to gain control of North African governments and MB Morsi in Egypt will use Obama’s continued $billions of aid to export Jihad to the rest of the Arab states.
“Benghazi” was more like the Gabby Giffords assassination attempt, under-secure, yes. Stevens WAS in a much more dangerous position to begin with, yes, by HIS choice. The Libyans said, “stay at the EMBASSY in Tripoli, where we CAN protect you.”
Now going back to “W” following the Netanyahu approach to foreign policy, “bomb now, ask questions later”, is not the answer. In fact, “W” actually said, bomb now, on lies, and never answer questions later." “Oh, and let someone ELSE clean up the mess I’ve made, and failed to complete the only REAL mission!”
“Leading from behind” means, for instance, quietly arming the Syrian rebels from an intelligence hub in Benghazi so our involvement doesn’t become an issue in their revolution. Which works until GOP congressmen hold a public hearing in which they reveal classified information and not only mess up the operation but endanger the lives of the people aiding us on the ground. Yes, Gary, much better to blow trumpets and get American kids killed by “leading from the front.”

Gary, your ’toon is misleading. Obama is a much better foreign policy leader than GW Bush was.
