The most serious "weakness" of Obama's foreign policy,

[G_j]

shielding the previous administration from being held accountable for their crimes and abuses. (and then, of course, continuing many of those policies)

8. Just read a bit of this and scanned the rest to read later. OH! It's no wonder

9. it's just submerged--using proxy forces rather than Boots'na'Ground

heck, we even funded Shabaab for a while (then pulled the rug out from under them)--Libya, Syria, Baluchistan, Honduras, Ukraine, Venezuela (since Latin America's full of ultraconservative "student unions" that are just on-campus enforcers for the FFAA)
