The Patriot Post® · The Tiger's Back

Historian Victor Davis Hanson: “The president seems determined that America should become unexceptional, and his five-year-long efforts are now bearing fruit. The result is that no one knows where global violence will break out next, much less who will stop it. … Obama has misled over Benghazi, flipped and flopped over Syria and Egypt, and deceived the American people on the Affordable Care Act. When the American secretary of state has to assure the world that its proposed military action ‘will be unbelievably small’ while the president is forced to explain that our military doesn’t ‘do pinpricks,’ we appear hardly credible or formidable. … Riding the tiger’s back was always risky, but not as much as jumping off and allowing it to run wild. The world now wants someone to get back on – but is unsure about who, when, how and at what cost.”
