I like that, it explains why the current administration’s foreign policy is so ineffective. No matter what we do in foreign affairs we are going to accumulate new enemies. For each new in-road the President tries to create in the Middle East, he ends up burning another bridge or aggravating someone who just doesn’t like us. But all the friends he tries to make are predictably fickle, and they go as quickly as they come.
A better strategy is to stand firm with your most trusted friends and make sure your enemies are too afraid to challenge the group.

Wasn’t that one of Obama’s stated goals from the campaign? To diminish the power and reach of the United States vis-a-vis the rest of the world?
The solution is obviously more guns. Hey, that’s change this cowboy can believe in.
Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate….
