The recent achievements of US Foreign Policy under Obama
Posted on 22:54 by Unknown
Pakistan has gone from 25% of the population in 2005 who consider America to their enemy to 92%.
The reason most often cited in polls is the drone warfare program.
Egypt went from a secular state to one ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Update 10/02 (Neither Obama or McCain were overjoyed when the Muslim Brotherhood were overthrown in July 2013 by a popular uprising of 20 to 30 million Egyptians protesting on the streets.
People Power can still win - but it takes tens of millions of Moderates actually doing something tangible and visible and becoming Activists in the real world, not cyberland.)
Libya has gone from a secular state to one now ruled by Islamic Extremists.
The civil war in Yemen has been greatly exacerbated.
Yemen is fertile recruiting ground for Jihadists. It has a large population of unemployed young males.
As the recent Yemeni witness to Congress stated - the Jihadists had been trying to turn his village into their supporters for many years and failed.
One drone strike did the Jihadists job for them.
The Syrian "rebels" are almost exclusively comprised of Islamic Extremists.
Many other Muslim countries have seen a rise in support of Islamic Extremists and a fall in support for America.
The drone warfare program is a primary recruiting tool for the Jihadists.
At least 176 children have been killed in Pakistan alone.
While the pictures of the horrific injuries are hidden in the West, they are widely used as recruitment posters by the Jihadists.
The wars are being expanded into West Africa - starting with Mali.
Algeria and Nigeria are obvious next targets to increase support for Islamic Extremism.
Libya now serves as a secure base for the Islamists.
Obama is moving US troops into 35 more African countries in 2013.
He has already agreed to set up a drone a base in Niger with their government.
The legitimate government of Mali was overthrown in a US/French sponsored military coup in 2012.
The civil war in Syria is being exacerbated.
The US is supporting the FSA against Assad.
As reported in the NY Times and several other places, the FSA is almost completely comprised of Islamic Extremists.
It also contains a significant proportion of foreign Islamist fighters - including a fair few from Libya who fought against the Americans in Iraq.
The US has been arming the Islamists for quite some time - both directly from Gaddafi's Libyan arms stores and via their proxies - Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
John Kerry is eager to start bombing Syria - he wants to get started immediately. The Pentagon pushed back.
Kerry sounds more war mongering than even John McCain.
The US has moved more troops into Jordan to stir up the unrest in Syria.
Both Jordan and Lebanon are being unsettled by the events in Syria.
Syria is of strategic importance - it lies on the route of gas and oil pipelines.
Particularly the proposed gas pipeline from Arabia to Europe via Turkey.
Around 200 million more supporters of Islamic Extremism have been recruited as a direct result of the drone warfare program (nearly 100 million in Pakistan alone).
Tens of thousands of new Jihadists have been recruited from the ranks of those 200 million.
The primary purpose of Obama's drone warfare program is to recruit lots more Islamic Extremists and Jihadists and that is exactly what it has done.
The people in the American government are not stupid - if they didn't want to create more conflict and hatred around the world; and lots more Jihadists and Islamic terrorists they would do something different.
But where would the Military Industrial Complex be without enemies to fight?
