The Collapse of Obama’s Diplomacy

[2banon]

16. This reads like a bloodthirsty Neo-Con rant, to me.

I have deep criticisms of our U.S. foreign policies and geopolitical machinations, but I don't see it from this writers perspective at all.

A Succession of Failures and Concessions

The Arab revolutions, supported by Washington, foundered with the sole exception of Tunisia. The United States will have seen in passing their Egyptian, Saudi, Turkish and Israeli allies distancing themselves or turning their backs on them. And what to say of their mistakes and of their impotence, finally, regarding the torturer of Damascus, Bashar Assad, in spite of their proclaimed will to see him leave office? And of the announced “red line” regarding the use of chemical weapons against its civic population? There has been more saber rattling and constant concessions regarding the Iranian nuclear program. The difficult negotiations in progress in Geneva should allow an agreement of frontage with Tehran, and the end of economic sanctions against a control of the Iranian nuclear sites because the White House wants an absolute success. But it will simply be a facade without the dismantling of the Islamic republic's secret military program of nuclear armaments. Since the beginning, the parties involved in the negotiations have acted as if it didn't exist.

As an aside, I tried to figure who this "Watching America" organization was, impossible from it's website, claims to be "neutral" when obviously it isn't. I noticed a "Blue Republican" logo sponsor which I've never heard of before. I suspect it's a Neo-Conservative organization.. or tied to that milieu of Neo Cons tied the Foreign Relations Council etc. Could be wrong.
