Cheering crowds in Tehran, and Obama's delusions
If Obama does have a coherent foreign policy it is one of non-intervention, and fear of military entanglements. Certainly the US, as Saudi Arabia has made clear, is no longer a leader in Middle Eastern affairs

Obama's Iran deal and a pattern of incompetence
Obama's limited experience and lack of serious interest in anything other than getting the US out of foreign wars was always going to create some serious shortcomings in US foreign policy

An Iran deal brokered by EU's Catherine Ashton, former apologist for communism, has to be suspect

Obama's four point, blundering plan on Iran

Who's afraid of Barack Obama?
