The feckless foreign policy forays of our President beg for some critical understanding. His initiatives have not only left America more vulnerable than since Pearl Harbor or Sept. 11, but they have sent terrible signals to friends and encouraged provocation from our adversaries. The most recent diplomatic normalization with Cuba once again tells the world that he either doesn’t understand terrorists, or seemingly has some measure of guilt or sympathy for those who deride American interests.

President Obama has been consistent. He has demonstrated deference, apology, and weakness time and again, from appeasing Iran, changing his mind on Syria, standing down on missile defense, lowering our Army and Navy readiness force, no meaningful commitment to Ukraine, and now Cuba.
