Commentary By Ron Beasley
Daniel Larison says the GOP foreign policy elite still clueless.
Republican criticism of President Obama's foreign policy is increasingly divorced from reality. David Frum's recent column outlining
Obama's alleged failures is a prime example. Indeed, it's part of a
pattern of behavior in which Republicans have tried to transform their
greatest weakness�the conduct of foreign affairs�into a political
weapon against Obama. It is scarcely nine months since the end of an
era marked by some of the greatest foreign policy failures in postwar
history. Yet the perpetrators and their supporters are now condemning
Obama's attempts to undo the damage. Even when these critiques are not
factually false, they reflect the bankruptcy of mainstream Republican
foreign policy thinking and demonstrate that many Republicans still
have no idea why the country turned against them.
Of course he's right but what he fails to do is look at the very nature of the so called "GOP foreign policy elite". We are talking neocons here. They are Zionists whose primary concern is what they perceive to be in the best interests of Israel and/or international bullies who think US foreign policy should result in the rest of the world being very afraid of the United States. The GOP foreign policy elite will remain clueless until the elites are replaced.
