Faith, Freedom, and Foreign Policy: GOPs Dissect Obama Record

Christie: Obama’s “pulling back of American influence and American ideas across the world is having catastrophic effects.”

WASHINGTON – Republican lawmakers at an evangelical conference this month lambasted the Obama administration’s handling of recent global events, highlighting what they called a lack of leadership.

“All of these things are happening, in my opinion, because of a lack of clarity and principle in American leadership in the statement of who we are,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” event.

He said leadership abroad requires making sure “our friends know who our friends are, and that our adversaries know who they are as well.”

#BRINGBACKOURFOREIGNPOLICY - OBAMA’S FOREIGN POLICY OF RETREAT

“From the Halls of Montezuma

To the shores of Tripoli . . . ”

Two hundred and nine years after Marines visited those shores, dispatched by President Jefferson to punish Barbary pirates for attacking U.S. vessels in the Mediterranean, Marines are again in that sea, poised to return. If they are sent ashore, their mission will be to rescue U.S. citizens from the consequences of U.S. policy. Then they might have to do the same thing in Baghdad.

The House Select Committee on Benghazi should not consider the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, its sole or even primary topic. Rather, it should begin at the beginning, with the U.S. military intervention in Libya’s civil war 18 months before Benghazi.
