Costello: Obama Can’t Make A Deal

Should we trust Barack Obama to forge an acceptable uranium enrichment agreement with Iran? If past results are any indicator of future performance, Obama's past judgments should leave us skeptical. Just recently, the U.S. Army recommended charges against Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Bergdahl spent years keeping company with Taliban terrorists after walking away from his post in Afghanistan. Last year Obama showered himself in praise after exchanging Bergdahl for five of the most dangerous terrorists incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay. Susan Rice, whom Obama previously assigned to lie on every news talk show about the Benghazi terrorist attack, praised Bergdahl for serving with "honor and distinction." The problem that Obama overlooked was that Bergdahl had deserted his post and far better men than he died attempting to recover him. The terrorists who Obama released are likely to kill again.That deal was just the latest in a lengthening series of misjudgments and missteps that have become the hallmark of his Middle East policies. Let's look at just one year of his failures/Michael Costello, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
