Re: Richard Holbrooke’s decline and fall, as told in Hillary Clinton
Nothing in it surprises me very much. Much as I like Obama otherwise, I never thought that his foreign policy and the White House foreign policy team accomplished much for the United States.
A major reason for the emergence of the Islamic State and its many early successes, as well as its success in recruiting thousands of foreigners, even from countries like the U.K. and France, is the naive and timid White House policy on the Middle East.
Future historians will lay this and other unpleasant world events (Ukraine, etc.) at Obama’s feet and thereby tarnish the many good works of his presidency.
“Many good works”…………….???????????????????????????????
