That's a pretty standard Faux News view of the world. Let's turn back to reality.
OK Jeff, lets “get back to reality”.
1. Libya and Tunisia are actually mostly successes. Low loss of American life (4), no American soldiers on the ground and reasonable Islamic democracies.
-Are you serious??? The torture/murder of Mr. Kaddafi and four Americans is reflective of a "reasonable Islamic democracy"? The four deaths were somehow acceptable? The Obama administration has in no way acted nobly here and they are still trying to craft their story as to what happened.
2. In Egypt, the Egyptians elected the Muslim Brotherhood. Are you saying we should overthrow their democratically elected regime? Is that your position? I don't think what Obama has done there is any different than any other President would have done. Our only option is to continue to fund the military as a counterbalance to the Brotherhood.
-You’re erroneously editorializing my comment. Mr. Obama botched this from the outset and “led from behind” in Egypt trying to pick a projected winner to support.

And as I’ve noted previously with the “execution by drone” policy of Mr. Obama, compliance with law isn’t a constraint felt by Mr. Obama. You accuse me of wanting to overthrow Mr. Morsi but haven’t expressed any concern over the Obama administration’s support of the overthrow of Mr. Mubarak as well as Mr. Assad in Syria. Both have been "democratically elected". (I’ll save you a response on this one- “Yea like George Bush was in 2000”.)
You want to “… continue to fund the military as a counterbalance to the Brotherhood.” Jeff, Mr. Morsi is the brotherhood’s candidate and his imposition of dictatorial powers in support of their aims is what’s causing the current unrest.

3. Iraq? Keep troops there? No. And 10,000 troops would have stopped nothing. A clean break was needed, and we got it.
-Wrong! This could have been a turnaround (unlike Mr. Obama's "good war" in Afghanistan) similar to South Korea. Do you think for a moment that without U.S. troops there the North Koreans would have stayed on their side of the border for the last fifty years? Like South Korea, there is both culture and resource infrastructure in Iraq that could have made it a future economic power. I've been there and Mr. Obama screwed the pooch on this one with the failure to secure a SOFA. Geopolitically with the instability in Iran and Pakistan and our dependence on the security of SWA, like Korea, a stabilizing force would have been in the U.S. and Iraqi national interest and Mr. Obama pissed away the opportunity.
The place we have no business in is Afghanistan. You can read my previous post on the matter if you are so inclined.
4. In 4 years, we've wound down one war, are starting to wind down another, have repaired our relationships with our allies in Europe, and managed the Arab spring.
-"Managed the Arab Spring"????? Hint: Libya is a disarray of tribal factions, the Egyptian ruler seeking to impose Sharia Law has rioting in the streets, Hamas has won a major U.N. victory (over U.S. objections), Israel is resumed building settlements on the West Bank (over U.S. objections) and HAMAS has launched more missiles at Israel THIS YEAR than Hitler did to the U.K. in all of WWII. Oh yea, Mr. Assad is weaponizing Sarin nerve agent for use on his own people.
That is a "Qualified success for the President on that front"???? Yikes!
Forget Fox News, you need to quit watching Al Jazeera. You are obviously in the tank for Mr. Obama but come on...
