Absolutely agree. But to understand the problem and see the potential for disaster we need look no further than Bengazi. IMO the O administration is addressing foreign policy much in the same way that Carter did. We will not see any direct action on the part of the US. However, we will continue to see DoS F'ups like we see in Bengazhi, a continued communication of the wrong message by down-sizing our Navy and its ability to project power as a preventive strategy. Rather, the O administration is thinking that a reactionary force capability is all that is needed. O will look for another "yes" man at DoD and CIA. O will avoid direct confrontation and will rely on DoS/CIA to manage covert ops to protect US interests and influence outcomes in unstable theaters that are believed to be in the strategic interest of the US. This approach has been tried before and the outcome is predictable.
