If we killed everyone in Al Qaeda tomorrow, we would still have a problem that  Obama, Hillary and the Washington foreign policy establishment refuse to  recognize. There is a tyrannical political force in the world that is waging war  on us wherever it can—both politically and militarily.

On Obama’s watch,  the Islamists have done very well.  They have taken over Egypt and are set  to take over Syria and its chemical weapons arsenal without a change in US  policy.  They look ahead to the day U.S. forces leave Afghanistan—which  Obama has conveniently announced to them.  And in the country where modern  Islamism first came to life at the nation-state level, Iran, the government is  set to gain a nuclear weapons capability—another Obama legacy.

Hillary  ought to park the plane and understand that diplomacy—or more accurately  statecraft—ought to be about recognizing and fighting these problems.   Pageantry, apologies and photo ops are obviously not getting it done.
