Last week during the State of the Union, the President painted a rosy picture of our foreign policy that is remarkably at odds with reality. By the President’s lights, ISIS has been stopped by U.S. air strikes, Russia has been cowed by American policy, and Iran is on the cusp of forfeiting its pursuit of a nuclear weapon. It is one thing for the President to outline an approach to foreign affairs that is consistent with his left-of-center ideology; it is quite another see the world through rose-colored glasses that filter out facts that are inconsistent with that ideology. On Friday, I went “On the Record” to discuss the collapse of Yemen, which the president hailed just a few months ago as the model for his counterterrorism strategy.
