What Ive been saying all along: Kennedy tossed Diem under the bus - TopicsExpress



          

What Ive been saying all along: Kennedy tossed Diem under the bus in 1963 to look tough on communism; Obama throws Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan to the wolves to placate his base. Says historian Mark Moyar: Presidential subordination of U.S. foreign policy to partisan politics has occurred all too frequently in recent years. Journalists such as Bob Woodward and former Obama administration officials such as Vali Nasr have shown that partisan operatives within the current U.S. administration have dictated national security policy based on approval ratings rather than the national interest. The complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, the abbreviation of the Afghan surge and the rapid downsizing of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan rank among the most baleful consequences of this politicization. online.wsj/news/articles/SB10001424052702304527504579169480315956614
