From Ace of Spades:
- We Must All Keep Opposing The Iran Deal
David Weinberg says the deal has to be made politically toxic, and also points to Obama's view of America: For decades, two tenets have informed U.S. policy in the Middle East. The first is that U.S. interests there are best served by the position...

- Obama To Grads: Reject Voices That Warn About Government Tyranny
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up...

The Obama Doctrine
From Ace of Spades:
- It seems that the Obama Doctrine is basically strictly non-interventionist, informed by 60s/70s romanticization of "peasant warriors" leading "people's revolts;" in this context, any entry by the First World Oppressor America taints the authenticity and righteousness of the cause.
- Of the three major revolutions which occurred slowly enough that the US could have intervened in some small way (I exclude Tunisia as having occurred too quickly), it can't be helped but be noted that the Obama Administration actively supported the anti-American (and therefore "authentic") Mullahs in Iran, eventually turned against the US ally Mubarak and begin making very foolish, very confident-sounding pronouncements that they had solid information he was about to be deposed, and is very hesitant to aid the rebels against another anti-American tyrant.
- The lesson seems to be that if you like your tyranny, you can keep your tyranny, so long as your tyranny is anti-American. If you're a friend to America -- watch out. What incentives this "doctrine" is intended to create, I don't know.
