OK, what he actually said was "we don't have a strategy yet." He was referring to ISIS (the "JV" team), but he unintentionally described his entire foreign policy. What our esteemed community organizer has conducted is what Peter Wehner, writing in Commentary magazine, called "a Monty Python foreign policy." It simply has not been serious. Besides, it interferes with his golf games.

Barack Obama understands that there is evil in the world. But, like so many "progressives," he thinks it resides not in Islamic jihadist terrorism, Vladimir Putin, or Iran, but in Fox News, the Tea Party, and the Little Sisters of the Poor.

His worldview was formed by his early life and education in Muslim Indonesia. While not a Muslim himself (I suspect he's actually either agnostic or atheist), he clearly identifies with Islamic culture and that affects the way he thinks. Remember he once said that the Islamic call to prayer was one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. Add in his radical leftist upbringing and we get a man who has difficulty standing up for America because he doesn't really believe in America. In his heart, we are the Bad Guys.

And then there is his mind-boggling ineptitude. Obama wants to "degrade and destroy" ISIS while simultaneously making it into "a manageable problem." So we have this non-war war in which he insists that we will not have "boots on the ground" even though we'll clearly have to if we are to win. And that reflects the fundamental flaw with the Democratic Party's foreign policy since Vietnam. Democrats focus on ending wars rather than winning them, a guarantee of failure. As Obama said in 2009, "I'm not concerned about victory."

Here are just a few examples of how he has made FUBAR his standard operating procedure:

• Insulted Great Britain, our closest ally, several times. Take a look: http://tinyurl.com/yldxmjh
• Sided with Marxist Honduran president Manuel Zelaya, a Hugo Chavez wannabe, who tried to make himself president-for-life in opposition to his own country's constitution.
• Did nothing to support the Iranian popular revolt against the jihadist mullahs
• Supported the Muslim Brotherhood (Al Qaeda) in Egypt
• Declared a "red line" in Syria then backtracked when Syria ignored it
• Refused normal military resupply to Israel during heavy fighting in Gaza and had John Kerry try to force a Hamas plan on Israel as a "compromise"
• Benghazi
• Threw away the victory in Iraq by not getting a status of forces agreement, the result being chaos and the rise of ISIS
• Ignored the resurgence of Russia
• Effectively erased the US-Mexican border
• Continues to gut the American military; plans to reduce the Navy to eight carrier battle groups and the Army to 1940 levels, stopped Tomahawk missile production, fired over 40 top general and flag officers
• And did I mention Benghazi?

British Prime Minister William Gladstone once said, "Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home." Clearly, we don't have that. It's been one scandal after another. Why should we expect anything better from Obama's foreign policy? Just look at his September 10 speech in which he finally explained, sort of, his ISIS "strategy" – sporadic air strikes and "working with our allies," whatever that means. Of course, he had to be dragged kicking and screaming into saying even that. So now we have this kinda sorta war with the not-exactly-a-coalition and it belongs to Obama no matter how much he tries to blame it on Bush. Most importantly, it would be unnecessary had he shown any kind of effective leadership before now. We can only pray that, while he is asking our military to take on this new war, he won't continue gutting it. Degrading ISIS will be easier if he first stops degrading our own armed forces. As JFK once said, "domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us."
