Kids, I'm pissed off. This administration has been particularly underwhelming when it comes to the field of foreign policy, especially these past two months with events in the Middle East, but enough is enough- news that we asked the Saudis if they could airlift weapons to the Rebels in Eastern Libya just really rubbed me the wrong way. We've got ships- a shitload of 'em right off shore. Pick up a phone, contact someone and send a damn boat full of weapons to Benghazi.
Why, why, WHY are we bowing and scraping to the Saudi Royal family? Jesus, I'm all for a humble foreign policy and I don't think it's especially neighborly to crash around the world slapping our national genitals into the face of every country we feel like, but this is getting ridiculous. We've got boats, planes and the best military in the world. If we're going to arm these people (and we should) then fuck the damn Saudis, load up the guns and get 'em to Benghazi already!
Can we have a foreign policy, please? Can someone in this administration grow a damn backbone and make a damn decision already? If we're going to arm them, then arm them! If we're going to take out Colonel Nutbag's air force- then what, I'd like to know are we waiting for? I believe in diplomacy and I believe in international cooperation- but those carrots are only effectively if you're willing to decisively and without hesitation use a stick when necessary. This is starting to degenerate into a national farce and I'm getting seriously tired of it.
Mr. President: stop waffling and do something.
