I Am Not A Neoconservative. I Am

I Have Looked At Public Opinion Polls In France In The Late 1940s And Early 1950s During The Height Of Marshall Plan Aid. They Had A Very Negative Attitude Towards The United States Then. There Were Negative Attitudes Towards The United States Because Of Vietnam. There Were Negative Attitudes About The United States When Reagan Wanted To Deploy Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles. I Don't Think The President Should Base His Foreign Policy On American Public Opinion Polls, Let Alone Foreign Public Opinion Polls.

Swapping Bergdahl For Illegal Enemy Combatants (terrorists, In Common Parlance) Signaled Unmistakably To Taliban And Al Qaeda That Obama Is Determined To Withdraw From Afghanistan No Matter What The Cost To The United States Or Those In Afghanistan Fighting To Remain Free.

Iran Has Essentially Mastered All Of The Complex Science And Technology That They Need To Have A Completely Indigenous Nuclear Weapons Program. That Means That Our Options On Iran Are Extremely Limited, To Regime Change Or As A Last Resort, The Use Of Force.

It's Very Personal In Its Politics, Very Bitter And Very Negative.

My Priority Is To Give The United States The Kind Of Influence It Should Have.
