Closing the barn door after the animals are out is an idiom or analogy that I’ve heard most of my life and to me is synonymous with lack of foresight, execution and futility. Which to me are just key words for the Obama administrations Foreign Policy.
To say that the Administrations responses to events around the world are just short of catastrophic and certainly a comfortable fit amateurish and disinterested. Only now, with the combined lack of response to Japan’s crisis, our own fuel cost crisis and the domino effect in the Middle East are drawing some form of notice from the rest of the world and the synchophantic US media.
The animals are out of the barn Mr. Obama, especially in Libya and as Col Gdaffi is on the verge of suppressing the rebellion with Tuareg tribesman from Mali (seasoned guerrilla fighters, Syrian and Eastern European mercenaries, Team Obama finally moves to make some feeble show of support for military support.
Who are you going to support directly now Mr. President? Best you can hope for is now a protracted ground war, atrocities and much civilian death. So now it seems you are not only closing the barn door after letting the animals out, but you are going to strafe the animals as well.
Another fine success for the big O.
