Sadly, the Iranian debacle is not the only example of Team Obama's all-hat-no-cattle foreign policy. A small sample of the most important of such behavior would include:

 

• A reset with Russia that has amounted to nothing more than a serial give-away to the Kremlin on missile defense, on nuclear deterrence and the political cover the Russians' persist in providing rogue states like North Korea, Iran and Syria. One can only imagine how much worse this will get if the President gets reelected and can be even more "flexible" on such matters than he has been to date.

• Ignoring the strategic implications of the impending demise of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. The President's participation at the Summit of the Americas over the weekend could have been an opportunity to forge a hemispheric commitment to democracy in Venezuela.

• Perhaps most worrying of all is Team Obama's recent and intensifying engagement with the virulently anti-American and anti-infidel Muslim Brotherhood. Far from contributing to democracy in Egypt and regional peace with Israel, the prospect for either, let alone both, have become substantially worse, thanks to the administration's appalling conduct.
