Obama caused the evaporation of America's credibility and stature in the world.

Barack Obama is willing to sacrifice the America's integrity and reliability in order to come to an absurd agreement with Iran, which would jeopardize the whole free world.

The Iranians know Obama has no backbone and they are taking advantage of it. During the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis, Iran took advantage of Jimmy Carter's weakness and kept the hostages for 444 days, but within hours of President Ronald Reagan swearing-in, Iran released the hostages. The Iranians knew President Reagan would use extreme force to release the American hostages. The Iranians did not want to start with the Reagan administration. Dealing from strength is the way to win arguments and conflicts and not cowering to the Iranians or any other leaders or country that want to take America to the task and test America's resolve.

It is as if Obama wanted the Iraq war to fail intentionally so that he would not face a citizenry with the staying power to pursue its international responsibilities.  Thus, he would be free to transform America without distraction.

How can a nation be credible when it is led by a man who fears his base more than he fears the rising domination of a nuclear Iran being armed by a Russian thug on the ascent?  After six years in office, Barack Obama has no idea what he is doing or how to fulfill his responsibilities as leader of the free world.  He does know how to run from confrontation as quickly as he can find the door, irrespective of what becomes of our national security or our relationship with our allies.  And he has succeeded in destroying our credibility on the world stage.

As the 9/11 tragedy with its horrific pictures, it is not just the memories of that fateful day and the loss of 3,000 Americans that come rushing back.  It is the feeling of dread that the Democrats who are running the foreign policy show are taking us back to those pre-9/11 days, when the terrorists were left unchecked and emboldened.  And that will be Obama's legacy -- not the legacy of what Iraq could have been, but of what it turned into once Obama entered office.  This legacy has nothing whatsoever to do with diplomacy versus military strength and a war-weary country.  It has everything in the world to do with the evaporation of our nation's credibility and stature in the world.
