President Obama has proven decisively masterful in Middle East national security matters, much to the private (and not-so-private) dismay of 2012 Republicans presidential candidates. Not one of the three top Republican contenders possesses even a scintilla of foreign policy experience.
Obama has dismantled conservative's decade-long effective use of fear-mongering and national security scare tactics over al-Queda, Osama bin Laden, the Taliban and several Middle East despots to terrorize Americans into supporting Republicans at the polls.
- Remember President Bush's misleading, pre-Iraq War 2003 State-of-the-Union assertion that Saddam Hussein was attempting to procure ingredients for weapons of mass destruction?
- Remember Condoleezza Rice's deliberately terrifying 2003 statement that "... we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud"?
- Remember Dick Cheney's sneering threat that a 2004 vote for Democratic John Kerry would be guarantee "that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States"?
President Obama has also deftly destroyed the false notion that Republicans are superior to Democrats in keeping America and Americans safe. Turns out that compared to President Obama, Bush and Cheney were the bumblers... and in the process, their Middle East follies and ideological misadventures have cost the American taxpayers far more than $1 trillion.

Yeah, right! Just wait until this new Lybian government goes the way of Iran. Then Obama’s support of the rebels will sure make the GOP quake in fear of his leadership.
So you believe that Obama ought to be competing with the GOP as to who can be the biggest jingoist or who can drop the most depleted uranium weapons on Islamic children?
“Just wait until this new Lybian government goes the way of Iran. ”
You mean, like ‘Iraq’?
