Obama doesn't HAVE "foreign war policies", other than making 'damned if you do and damned if you don't' judgments about developing situations. Hitler had "foreign war policies"....and to a lesser extent, Bush had "foreign war policies". Obama is juggling 14 balls, and trying to counter asinine criticism at home while he tries to decide whether to drop balls 9 & 12. Gee... why doesn't he just read Mudcat and see that several local experts have it all figgered out!

And you are correct, Kucinich and Ron Paul would have "foreign war policies"...one policy fits all. Slogan: "stay out of everything unless we are directly attacked". Very neat...and wouldn't various forces & countries around the world LOVE to hear that they had at least 4 years of Paul or Kucinich "foreign -non-war policies" to bank on? Like that diplomatic blunder when we 'indicated' to Saddam that we "had no interest" in what happened to Kuwait. KaBOOM!

If you armchair pundits were getting the daily briefings that Obama is, you 'might' see it ain't that easy.
