The record is
clear that the impact of Bush foreign policy both politically and economically,
resulted in nothing good for America. The only tangible outcomes were
destroying the government of Iraq under false pretense, disrupting the standard
of living for tens of millions, tens of thousands Americans dead or permanently
maimed, hundreds of thousands dead Iraqis, the entry of al Qaeda into Iraq
where prior they had never existed, and hundreds of billions in wasted tax
dollars.
Unfortunately,
President Barack Obama, although in the beginning he made a point to continuously
reinforce that he had no interest for interfering in the affairs of other nations, his foreign policy actions seem to out Bush, George W. Bush. Just this
week he confirmed this for the entire world. In his address at West Point,
Obama provided a picture of how after five years, he sees his foreign policy
efforts, and in all aspects, it is troubling, neocolonialist, and in tone reminiscent
of the Rumsfeld Cheney bravado of the previous administration.
Now I cannot
blame Obama singular for this, in fact most of the blame should be placed on those
who voted for him, for they never read his policy positions prior to running
for President, or read his speeches delivered to groups like AIPAC in 2007. They never concerned themselves with his
limited, if any foreign policy experiences with the exception of a brief stint
on the foreign relations committee or him having no military experience at
all.
He embraced the
joint special operations view of pre-emptive war and expansionist foreign
policy as manager in chief of the U.S. imperial empire. Rather than exploring
who he actually was, progressives, whether because he was a democrat, or if he
were black, or that he made promises that any pragmatic person would not believe
based on his past statements, turned a blind eye towards the reality of his prism
of executive action.
Several statements
stuck out which may be a looking glass into the remaining years from a foreign
policy purview for the standing commander in chief. The first was: “The United States is the one indispensible
nation.” I can only say the question would be, in what manner? By
definition, the President is stating that either the United States or he is
absolutely necessary. I personally disagree, unless necessary is correlated to
causing trouble around the world, incessant practices that reflect the
violation of international law, human rights and the basic respect for others
to do as they please without U.S. interference. This position in word actually
brings him closer in line to the prior administration for as it is stated in a
basic Theorem of trigonometry: the same named trigometric ratios of conterminal
angles are equal (conterminal angles in this case being a democratic or
republican commander in chief).
The President
also added, that “It is impossible to
ignore sectarian conflicts, failing states and popular uprisings.” This
also makes one cringe with his understanding and implementation of U.S. foreign
policy, national security and U.S. interest in terms of priority. History under
the present administration has lucidly indicated that the President has a
problem with reading the pulse of both the American people and the world around
him. The way he went about dealing with
Egypt is just one example. First he supported the democratic elections which
brought Mohamed Morsi to power, albeit a member of the Islamic Brotherhood and hesitantly
supported the popular uprising against an autocratic dictator named Mubarak.
All because it was evident the present administration did not have a pulse of
what was going on in Egypt in real time and had allowed their unconditional support
of Mubarak, even amidst his long record of human rights violations to cloud
their understanding of what the people of Egypt wanted and had experienced
under the man the U.S. supported.
Strangely,
after giving support to the democratic desires of the people of Egypt albeit
late, an Islamic fundamentalist theocrat was elected whom Obama placed full
support and validation behind. Next we saw protest again in Egypt, but this
time there was a coup, in which the Obama administration said nothing, did
nothing and even gave the new government (coup) billions in military aid
justifiably, by not referring to the overthrow as a coup. So although he openly
said this in his West Point address, the fact assert otherwise. Now the Egyptian
people hate the U.S. more, and channels of cooperation have increased between
Egypt and Russia. This is a strange statement seeing that near the end of his
address President Obama revealed: “America’s
support for democracy and human rights goes beyond idealism – it’s a matter of
national security.”
The President
also said [It]...is not whether America
will lead, but how we will lead, not just to secure our peace and prosperity,
but also to extend peace and prosperity around the globe.” The how is
evident. The Obama motto follows the Bush playbook like an AFC coach
discovering the West coast Offense. Leadership via the Obama doctrine is dividing
and conquering at home and unilaterally destroying and disrupting sovereign
nations, even if against international law. This is no more visibly seen than
what occurred in Libya in 2011.
There was no
reason or compelling U.S. interest to go into Libya unless it was on the behalf
of what I have called the military police industrial complex (MPIC). This is
just all of the big banks, big corporations and big lobbyist that make sizable
piles of loot on war, incarceration, insider trading and media manipulation.
Not only would war make them loot but they would be able to use their neocolonial
desires to destroy one of the world’s last state own central banks in Libya.
Fact is we followed France and Germany and didn’t lead at all with respect to
Obama’s intervening into Libya. But like a good politician, reasons we
contrived and lies even told. The
biggest was human rights, protecting civilians, and people believed it although
we can’t even help the innocent civilians we promised to aid in Haiti after their
earthquake and even supported the U.N. to say that although Cholera never was
in Haiti until U.N. troops arrived, they can’t even suit the U.N. to clean up
the water and pay for the lives of 40,000 people who died as a result. Meaning,
it is visible how we lead.
Libya is the
perfect example of the Obama doctrine. If a nation is doing good for its region
or country, then it must be destroyed because their success is a threat to U.S.
national economy because Bush and Obama has fucked ours up miring our economy
in debt for war. At no time was it mentioned by progressives that Gaddafi gave
Libya the highest human development index in all of Africa, or that he stood in
the forefront of the struggle for Africa against U.S. supported apartheid in
Israel and South Africa. This mean
nothing to neo liberals and neoconservatives, because investment under neocolonialism
only increases the gap between rich and poor nations, which in simple terms
means foreign capital is used not for the people, but rather for the
exploitation as opposed to the development of the undeveloped world.
So those who
agree with this approach, or worse stay silent, are progressives who are in
reality procolonialism. No matter what one says, Gaddafi was pan African and
pan Arab and desired such to make all of Africa independent from the West.
Now the President
also dropped that he wanted to continue his Libya model in other places. For in the Obama worldview, whether military force will be
used anywhere, is for the president alone to decide. In the speech he noted “America’s failure to act in the face of
Syrian brutality or Russian provocation not only violates our conscience, but
invites escalating aggression in the future.” First how can a Nobel peace prize winner
that has used drones to kills thousands of women and children in Yemen, Afghanistan,Pakistan, and Somalia know anything about conscience, when by practices his foreign
policy is to escalate aggression without invite whenever he feels, or needs to buttress
his approval rating? As he said in the same speech, we know this is already the
case given he said [The] “United States
will use military force, unilaterally if necessary, when our core interest
demand it.”
Obama’s foreignpolicy beliefs are clear. He said “The
issue of transparency is directly relevant to a third aspect of American
leadership: our efforts to strengthen and enforce international order.”
This is how he perceives his role as commander in chief. Foreign policy is basically
using counter-terrorism to stunt the economic growth of other
nations and deepen their citizenry into poverty while making U.S. plutocrats
even wealthier. He has established a large covert presence in North Africa in
total secrecy (transparency), away from democratic debate, and without any
Congressional approval or oversight. This is what he means by transparency.
In sum, Obama uses military force whenever he wants, wherever he wants, and without anyone's permission. He ignores as Lincoln wrote, "The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress, was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons. Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object.” Obama's ongoing use of military force in multiple countries ensures that the posture of the US for the foreseeable future will continue to be one of endless war. This my friend, is the Obama doctrine in a nutshell.

Arguably your best post in a year!
Everyone knows that war fuels the economies of the world. Hence, the the axiom, superpower that is based more on weaponry instead of international commerce. So we can expect to see wars and hear rumours of wars into the foreseeable future of the world.
