The Obama DoctrinePosted on Apr 16, 2009By E.J. Dionne Let’s face it: If the rescue of Capt. Richard Phillips had failed, the foes of President Obama’s foreign policy would have thrown the Book of Handy Jimmy Carter Epithets at him. Obama would have been called every name in that book: “feckless,” “weak,” “naive,” “powerless,” “irresolute,” “supine” and “spineless.” We know this because all those words had already been hurled at the president even before the Somali pirates grabbed Phillips. Two days before the rescue, John Bolton, President Bush’s U.N. ambassador, told Fox News that the episode offered “a clear case for the use of force by the United States,” then added: “I am very concerned, however, that both the administration and many of our friends in Europe have fallen into the trap of seeing this as a law enforcement question, which it most certainly is not.” This rote argument that conservatives have been using against liberals since Sept. 11, 2001, just happened not to be true. Obama didn’t say much. He just relied on the skill and bravery of our Navy SEALs. But if Obama’s critics were briefly silenced, they won’t stay quiet for long, and not just because the pirates, as they showed Wednesday, are not going away. The truth is that the president is moving American foreign policy in a new direction, and conservatives dislike what is becoming the Obama Doctrine. His doctrine departs from the previous administration’s approach by embracing a longer tradition of American foreign policy. Obama insists that the United States can’t achieve great objectives on its own, even though it is “always harder to forge true partnerships and sturdy alliances than to act alone,” as he put it in Strasbourg, France.This may break with George W. Bush’s style—particularly at the level of rhetoric, and especially during Bush’s first term—but it is in keeping with the traditions of Roosevelt, Truman and George H.W. Bush. Obama insists that we do not have unlimited resources to do whatever we want, whenever we want to. We have to make choices. Thus is his buildup in Afghanistan premised on a gradual withdrawal from Iraq. And the Obama Doctrine seeks to regain the world’s sympathy by acknowledging that while the United States is a great nation built on worthy principles, we are not perfect. Obama’s willingness to point to our imperfection drives many conservatives crazy. Writing on Commentary magazine’s Web site, Peter Wehner, the director of strategic initiatives in the 43rd president’s White House, expressed his discomfort with “the ease and eagerness with which he [Obama] criticized the country he represents.” Wehner said he got “a queasy feeling” from “the growing sense that Obama is willing to denigrate America in order to boost his own personal popularity in other countries.” That Obama would run down his country for his personal benefit is a serious charge. It also ignores what Obama actually said and did. In his Strasbourg speech, Obama spoke of times “where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” Is he wrong about that? Has everyone forgotten about “freedom fries” and “cheese-eating surrender monkeys”? But Obama offered his apology as a prelude to criticism of a European “anti-Americanism that is at once casual but can also be insidious,” which failed to recognize “the good that America so often does in the world” and instead chose “to blame America for much of what’s bad.” Obama wasn’t aggrandizing himself. He was making a shrewd pro-American argument: We’ll acknowledge our mistakes, but you need to admit yours. If I have qualms about the Obama Doctrine, they have to do with the relatively short shrift it has so far given to concerns over human rights and democracy. The United States cannot impose democracy everywhere, but we should stand up forcefully for democrats, political prisoners and human rights activists anywhere. Yet on the whole, Obama is simply paying heed to Reinhold Niebuhr, a thinker admired both by the president and by conservatives. Niebuhr warned that some of “the greatest perils to democracy arise from the fanaticism of moral idealists who are not conscious of the corruption of self-interest” and also that a “nation with an inordinate degree of political power is doubly tempted to exceed the bounds of historical possibilities.” The Obama Doctrine is a form of realism unafraid to deploy American power, but mindful that its use must be tempered by practical limits and a dose of self-awareness. Those are the limits that defenders of the recent past have trouble accepting. E.J. Dionne’s e-mail address is ejdionne(at)washpost.com. © 2009, Washington Post Writers Group Elsewhere: .

Bob,
I have been a frequent commenter on TRUTHDIG. I have tried to bring some value added insights to your site by having an opinion much different to those that I have called the ones who post the most.
You know who they are and the number is few but they consume 30 to 40% of those commenting or maybe more.
They attack like craved wild dogs when someone as me comes along with another opinion. They reinforce their aggression with behind the scenes communications with each other to lay out an attack plan.
Thus I will leave at this time because of those reasons. I have much more to do than I have time. I enjoyed the subject matter presented and felt like in a normal forum the results towards solutions for these enormous problems we all face would be better than it was.
My concern is for you. I have listened to your words and have seen some of your deeds and I will never believe that you led these few folks to become rampant proponents against all common sense and reason in doing in your name.
Last thought, when cynics are allowed to control debate in any type of civil forum all hell with break loose. Unless moderated closely.
I e-mailed you the concept of We the Peoples Advocacy today. When you have time read it then if interested in helping in any way let me know.

Some people have to be born again because there was a serious brain defect when they were born the first time. And there is no way that anyone else can “get it” unless they obey them and do exactly as they say. Because there is no god but god and Mohammed is his prophet, or Christ is his only son, or his name is unknowable, or some other patriarchal warmongering twaddle. I hope all you religious zealots lay down your lives to kill each other off as soon as possible, for there may be no other way to rid the earth of your infestation.
I apologize for feeding the troll.

How could somebody be totally unaware that calling others cowards and belittling their manhood because they don’t want to “lay down their lives,” is NOT “Beating the tools of war into plowshares,” but fanning the flames of war?
Mark you cannot understand until you get it. And to get it you must be BORN AGAIN. And in your words you refute that from being a part of your life.
But I will try to explain again———-JESUS IS KING NOW——we are mere mortals now—-HE has at his disposal all the power that has been and ever will be——SO
“When two or more are gathered together in HIS NAME [KING] what ever they ask not amiss will be done for them.” And then following “Whosoever believes in me and the works that I do will never die”
Now the depth and scope of those words to a pagan gentile mind makes no sense whatsoever. That is the reason most maybe all of JESUS APOSTLES AND DISCIPLES WERE KILLED AND BECAME MARTYRS.
The brute pagan gentiles when hearing them speak those words “SAID AH HA WE WILL SLICE THEM TO PIECES AND SHOW THEM WHO IS BOSS.”
So there you go——if you get it—-so be it——if not at least—- you have been informed—-now all are not called to WORK the WORK in HIS KINGDOM. The remainder of humanity will some day live again before GOD to be judged by HIM how they obeyed their innate conscience known as the Noahcide laws.
And to that end what more can I say that has not been said that should put your mind at rest.

Dwight Baker, the highly credentialed, wrote:
“For it has been known since mankind came on the scene no greater love could be shown—-THAN ONE TO LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A BROTHER…..that is just who you are——a convoluted cynical coward. Not a real man at all.”
And now writes, “That is what brings us joy in knowing we have been chosen to WORK HIS WORK. Beating the tools of war into plowshares.”
How could somebody be totally unaware that calling others cowards and belittling their manhood because they don’t want to “lay down their lives,” is NOT “Beating the tools of war into plowshares,” but fanning the flames of war?
Believers are not sane people. Once having trained themselves to, as Lewis Carroll’s Red Queen put it, “believe six impossible things before breakfast,” they are ready to believe anything—that war is peace, that the bureaucracy we call government, which was instituted by rich, slaveholding, founders of this country to ensure that the rich would always rule and the people would never have a voice, might count their votes or heed their petitions, even that credentials can substitute for common sense.
Isn’t there something in the patriarchal religions that says that a camel can sooner pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man enter the gates of heaven? Everyone in Congress is rich. None of them are going to any patriarchal heaven (even if they believe that they are forgiven), and yet fools continue to vote for them, petition them, and in many cases lay down their lives for them and for their big corporate donors.
General Smedley Butler said that war is a racket. Millions and millions of people have died in wars during my lifetime, and the world has not improved at all. The wars continue, fools continue to kill the innocent and to lay down their own lives for corporate profits, and evangelicals egg them on, mocking their manhood and calling them cowards if they don’t.
Those who cannot think logically and who constantly contradict themselves, really should refrain from making ad hominem attacks on others. But in their confusion and desperation, they may not be aware of what they’re doing, and therefore cannot apologize.

Introduction with #1 #2 to follow
You put me in a box. Not unlike many in history. Most of the tyrants like to label put in boxes the when ferreting out makes the executioner job easier. IBM made millions in WWII making a way for Hitler to put Jews and the other less others in boxes. And you are following the same precept with your rage against me, and you have done nothing more than labeled me into a group where you think I come from. Yet Mark you are not right you are wrong. For what your lacks is MY TAKE you do not read then decide you decide then read so you can chide and deride.
Nothing new about that coming out of OLD SAN FRANCISCO the culture or subculture of folks there leads me to read with a notion of trying to understand what the real beef is.
And to this day I still believe the drug culture allowed there [that took the life of one of my nephews] has permeated many folks lives in San Francisco and has put blinders on them that makes all things that are common sense and reason a thing to be shunned.
Report thisFurther more after commenting on DON HANZEN AlterNet for some time the many dissent there were raising up the banner everyday let us take our hate to the streets. And I shouted them down and they much like you sneered and jeered calling me all things but what I am. My wife and I will not advocate for any in our neighborhood once we have assessed there agenda is fake. And their words and deeds do not commingle to form a core of a real person. So we go on or way with open arms and willing hearts to help all, and daily that is done for that is our mission. That is what brings us joy in knowing we have been chosen to WORK HIS WORK.

However MY TAKE the story of GODS GREAT COSMIC PLAN and HIS PLAY clearly recorded in the Biblical Text and rabbinical thought is clear to many others and us as well. Yet to understand the full scope one must first be born again as JESUS CHRIST THE CREATOR OF US said must be done for those that are chosen to WORK HIS WORK and we have. Obviously you have not, that does not mean that you will loose any rewards now except for your adamant and hateful way you have punished us the willing that WORK HIS WORK.
Now I am not stupid nor do I need to be connected with any group to make my life have sense. What we do and how we do what we do does not depend on any human taking up arms to fight the fight of taking over and causing the BEAST OF MANKIND to be put down. With close study prayer and consultation with the one and only GOD JESUS CHRIST revealed to us it has become crystal clear and is taught by us that we need to form communed groups with petitions and pleadings unto HIM in heaven and give our own judgments who HE SHOULD TAKE OUT what ever way he chooses the best way. In acts that HE is known for—- called divine interventions. And that is what is taught to the ones willing in the DR CONGO. For in the Congo the French laid waste to them for they were thought to be still to have a residence in them of APE MAN. So what those missionaries really did was set back that culture founded on good acts of conscience 1000 years. While coming in the premise of working for GOD but the real deal was theft of the resources that GOD had given the indigenous in HIS acts of creation. http://infomotions.com/etexts/gutenberg/dirs/etext04/7gor210.htm the source to read TWO TRIPS TO GORILLA LAND AND THE CATARACTS of THE CONGO. By Richard F. Burton 1876.
Before I end and go about with my work, to change our Rich and Abundant America the many that are from 3 to 5 million strong in numbers and are not inane to the cruel political games must become united to reach out and teach those hungry to understand that they too have rights to life and we want to represent their voices and votes on all issues to those in CONGRESS. But not as a slacker or a bar room thug but as a group fully funded by us and those willing to join in as part of the group and hard charge with power packed punches of truth into Washington DC to bring down the BEAST imbedded all around. The Advocacy will not set forth any kind of a religious agenda or any political agenda as well. No need to. Our GODLY agenda is show the American people the BEAST WITHIN.
The essence of our generation of life right now clearly is to stamp out the BEAST OF MANKIND in all ways using our voices heard by HIM then HE bringing them down how ever HE wishes. That is the reason HE chose MOSES, ELIJAH, ESTHER, KING DAVID, NEHEMIAH, AND THE OTHER GOOD GENTILES THAT has reached summits of understanding that GOD IS GOD and we are not and that HE DOES WHAT HE DOES and that is that.
NOW HE waits patiently for all of mankind to take a stand against the evil that takes away the rights of life for all in their community of existence. That was the ultimate goal in being born again as HE became the second Adam. No fear of the sting of death and to have our voices filled with the oracles of the LIVING GOD for all to hear.

And as soon as you started yammering about people laying down their lives, you proved my case.
Don’t your missionaries in the Congo try to evangelicize the youngsters so you can sell them to the militaries as child soldiers? That’s what other evangelicals and NGOs do in the Congo.

I am indeed a dissident and a rebel, Dwight. Those who think that voting or petitioning Congress will get them anywhere, haven’t been paying attention.
What I wrote was, “Patriarchal religions are basically a breeding and recruiting tool for patriarchal militaries. Patriarchal militaries are at the service of governments, which are at the service of multi-national corporations. Have you ever read General Smedley Butler’s, ‘War is a Racket’?
All evangelical religions preach peace, but once they hook a sucker, what they offer is ‘not peace but a sword.’ There is no religion that preaches permaculture and turns swords into plowshares.”
And as soon as you started yammering about people laying down their lives, you proved my case.
Challenging their manhood to get them to kill strangers and risk dying themselves to make the Rockefellers of this world richer, works pretty well on teenyboppers, but it doesn’t work on people my generation who remember WWII. If you’re such a big man, why haven’t you laid down your own life yet, Dwight?
Somehow, I rather doubt than you could bully Scheer into laying down his life for Christ or Rockefeller either. Don’t your missionaries in the Congo try to evangelicize the youngsters so you can sell them to the militaries as child soldiers? That’s what other evangelicals and NGOs do in the Congo. Older people are a lot harder to persuade, often having seen enough people lay down their lives, with no perceptible improvement in the world to show for it, over and over and over and over. But if you think that a few million more unnecessary deaths will make Christ or Rockefeller happy, be my guest.
I’d say, “peace,” but I understand that’s against your religion, so I won’t insult you. Insults are another thing I leave to the young ‘uns.

And you’re following very un-patriotic view of NOT BEING A BONDSERVANT to your fellow Americans leads me to believe you might be a CIA operative.
For it has been known since mankind came on the scene no greater love could be shown—-THAN ONE TO LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A BROTHER. And if you should like to study HISTORY look at the great cost of life and limb was paid by those fighting against the most cruel of mankind and did it willing with out pay.
So get off your self-elevated HIGH HORSE and JOIN IN the human race and do what is just and right and shun the wrong in all ways.
And those that are being massacred in the CONGO now eclipse the number in the last genocide. So that again tells all of us you have a twisted and callus less than human will to function in a sane and sanguine society.
HATS OFF TO NIGHT GUANT
Good comment———- that is a thought we must push——we need to only make about 3 to 5 million aware then we can go about with the power pack force in Washington DC to bring down the BEAST and lower them to the state where they should reside PRISON. Or once tried and if found guilty of crimes against mankind and nature make a spectacle of them suffering judgments in open air and viewed by the world courts of justice.
MY TAKE on some of your choice words added a few of mine
This shows what things have degenerated world-wide to such a point at least among all governments that seek like powers found in America for the last fifty years that they have been attracted to join forces for now in the first great con among mankind theft of our money supply propelled by Americas BEAST that must be stopped in its tracks. NOW ——-And if that means President Obama must be impeached the so be it.
Yet what soon awaits each one of them [other rulers of other nations] is a sudden demise as is the ONE FOR US unless you and I stop it. For at the core of every gov’t where power collects at the apex, the psychopaths and megalomaniacs (sometimes one-in-the-same) will be attracted to join in with forces with those found in our rich and abundant America that has been allowed to reach Saint Hood in the minds of the many less others. But to that end our CIA and MILITARY COMPLEX——TOOLS OF WAR SCARE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF MOST. And that is known by the lesser nations even with greater population than us thus they bow down behind closed doors to the AMERICAN BEAST OF MANKIND.
These people are very dangerous and will do great harm that could lead to the downfall of all of known mankind reducing the working class to what has been called re-animalized man. And that term can be resourced on google.
Be aware of it first—————————then remedy it fast.

KDelphi, what we in America usually call neo-conservatives, are called neo-liberals by most of the rest of the world. Different terms but the same animal. By their expansionist, militarist, and predatory capitalist actions shall ye know them.
Dwight Baker, I suppose it has never occurred to you that some people do not wish to be bondservants, neither of Christ nor man, and that we have no business being in the DRCongo.
Did you look at that video of the preacher who was beaten by the Border Patrol?
Very confused guy. He doesn’t seem to understand that the purpose of patriarchal religions is to teach submission and obedience to authority, and that by defending his Constitutional rights and defying the Border Patrol, he is failing to render unto Ceasar and setting a poor example for his sheeple.
We cannot export democracy because we have none to export. We cannot export financial stability and acumen because we have none to export. We cannot export religion because none of the evangelical religions follow the Golden Rule: do not try to convert others to your beliefs unless you would wish to be converted to their beliefs.
For believers, both religious and political, when things go right it is proof that their beliefs are correct, and when things go wrong, it is a test of their faith. So no matter what happens, believers continue to believe.
I suggest you read Colby and Dennett’s book, “Thy Will Be Done the Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil,” and explore some of the writings about managed inequality in Africa by Keith Harmon Snow on his website, http://www.allthingspass.com/
I lived for almost five years in Afghanistan, and one of the most interesting things I learned was the origin of the word “guru.” It has come to mean teacher or mentor, but originally it meant “we look.” For people in different circumstances, the answers are different. This is not a “one size fits all” world. We are not the chosen people, we do not have the one truth, and unless we learn to abide by the Golden Rule, and to treat others, their customs, their religions, and their cultures, with the same respect that we would want from them, there will never be peace.
Patriarchal religions are basically a breeding and recruiting tool for patriarchal militaries. Patriarchal militaries are at the service of governments, which are at the service of multi-national corporations. Have you ever read General Smedley Butler’s, “War is a Racket”?

FOR SOME THE DAY-TO-DAY POLITICAL PLAY IS JUST TOO COMPLEX WHY?
DOES IT SEEM TO YOU TO BE BY HAPPENSTANCE
IF SO——ARE YOU JUST ONE THAT HAS FALLEN INTO THAT TRAP?
The Robber Barons planed their moves to cheat lie steal and kill the American People decades ago. As seen today—-many sit back and say foolishly gosh what went wrong?
Then many others in the MEDIA VIEWS begin to mumble some untenable bunch of crap and at the end of the day WE THE PEOPLE are more confused than before they began to speak.
However many in America in the white collar working class joined ranks with the Robber Barons when they began to play poker with them on Wall Street. But to most dismal surprise the little bottom feeders have no way of getting much other than 2-3-4-9-8 in their hands. While the Robber Barons keep turning over Aces, Kings, Straight Flushes etc. WHY they have the cards marked.
So to the point at hand boldly as I can tell—- these terrors in horrors from the BUSH BUNCH MORONS were planned decades ago and their moves to mark the cards where all would loose but them has been planned out to the ‘T’. It all began when the CIA was created and Yale University was used to train the train robbers for the OLD LINE OF ROBBER BARONS. And since the creation of the SKULL and BONES secret society all has been going according to plans.

While watching an old flick recently——a bank robbery was planned——must start a fire on the other end of town——all will run off—-leaving the bank robbers an easier task at hand.
PRIORITY NUMBER ONE
Now before I go on PRESIDENT OBAMA is MY MAIN MAN. He can survive in the long haul if he gets to cleaning up the 5 to 7 thousand of the BUSH BUNCH still in [not seen power] in the Pentagon and Political circles in DC.
President Obama is now being annoyed with harsh words by many [not inane political and financial folks] in the USA that see him as inept at running off the many BILDERBERGS on staff and as advisors that is trying best they can to cause a financial wreck to come to our county. Or just THEFT. IE: ROBBER BARONS.
So Rob Emmanuel job is to secure the fate of the Obama administration. And ole Rob knows how to do that from experience, maybe some genetic history passed on from dad. So in the BUSH YEARS OF TERROR we all learned to look beyond the smoke to try the bank robbery going on.
So now another diversion Drug Lords In Mexico——as if none of us knew about that——then let us not forget———Pirates from Somalia——- big deal——-what is new about that crazed and starving bunch. I have a deep respect for all mankind for I am one of them too. But those that hard charge me in error I will do what I can to stop them anyway I can.
Now the CIA works wonders in deception in espionage then sabotage and they make things look one way but they are not. Now ole Rob knows those tricks of the Political trade well so now folks just think.

E.J.Dionne seems to believe that it is a good thing that “The Obama doctrine is a form of realism unafraid to deploy American power, but mindful that its use must be tempered by practical limits and a dose of self-awareness.” One must marvel at this dose of rationalization [if not self-delusion] of a liberal interventionist regarding the role of a president who is also a liberal interventionist. One also suspects that the Afghans and the Pakistanis would take issue would Mr. Dionne’s characterization of Obama’s use of practical limits and self-awareness especially when they involve air attacks against innocent Afghans and Pakistanis.
Obama’s claim as being an agent of hope would certainly not seem to apply to any hope given to those Afghans and Pakistanis who have had their loved ones blown to bits by liberal interventionists like Barack Obama despite Mr. Dionne’s protestations to the contrary.

Gee, you make it sound like killing three teenagers who were trying to help stop the illegal fishing and toxic waste dumping off their coast by developed countries, was a good thing.
Just like you tried to make Obama’s plan to give more money to insurance companies instead of having the single-payer health care system most Americans want, is a good thing.
Do you also think Obama’s bailouts are a good thing?
What about his increasing the defense budget?
Do you approve of Obama’s defense of illegal wiretapping?
I don’t really understand what a right-winger like yourself is doing on TruthDig, E.J. Dionne, but right-wing policies are not beyond criticism just because a Democrat does them.
Obama voted for the Bush/Cheney agenda as a Senator, and is continuing and expanding upon that agenda as President. Are you simply opposed to freedom of speech and believe that no matter what a President of either party does, they should not be criticized, or are you okay with criticizing Republicans, but not Democrats, for the exact same policies?
