Lack of respect you mean willing to kill any terrorist anywhere in the middle east. Then yes you are right.
Not quite sure what you are saying here. My point is that BHO is neither respected nor feared as a leader in the middle east and as a concequence neithe is the US. In that area of the world a state and its leader need one or preferably both. It is a world that has a tottaly different metric than Europe, or Asia or the Americas. It is a 12th century world with 20th & 21st century tools. The states and people expect a strong and ruthless leader and when they see BHO waffle and let others lead in crisis the assume he and we are weak. That will leave the US in no position to effect the outcome of the upheavals that are occuring and will happen. Has BHO used drones and seals to kill people? Sure but he hasn't shone any purpose or resolve in confronting the situations and issues that are confronting the middle east & leaders. He only alienates them by lack of a clear policy and determination to see a policy through. This will lead to no good for the US.
his policy is clear, dont start new unnecessary wars and kill terrorist with new age covert warfare and not give a fuck where they are located. Why should we have to confront their problems it just compounds ours. Your post is bi-polar. A guy willing to approve action into a sovereign country and kill the number 1 terrorist in the world, doesnt seem weak to me and I seriously doubt he seems week to other countries who harbor those people.
Make your case, I don't think you have one. He's a huge step up from the widely disrespected George W. Bush. When exactly did that happen? Be specific. Total nonsense. He set about to get us out of Iran militarily and carried it through. We are on track to do the same in Afghanistan. He set about to step up the covert war on Al Qaeda and carried it through with successful attacks in five countries. He set about to support the Libyan revolution without US ground troops and carried it through. He ordered the rescue of Somali Pirate hostages including the killing of the pirates. He stopped food aid to North Korea after they violated treaty agreements. He stepped up sanctions to isolate and weaken Iran. He signed a new START treaty with the Russians. And more. How and when exactly has he "waffled"? In what matter has he shown a "lack of determination"? What examples can you give of his "failing to show resolve"? Put up or shut up time, Dad.
