President Obama is a master of diplomatic relations; that is, if false equivalence, bowing to foreign despots, alienating traditional allies and waging wars without Constitutional authorization strike one as statesman-like.
The president made one of the more questionable statements on U.S. foreign policy since he lamented his lack of felicity with the Austrian [sic] language. Here is a transcript via the Examiner:
“So I think it’s important for us to work through this process, even if there are irritants on both sides,” Obama said. “The Israelis have concerns about rockets flying into their cities last night. And it would be easy for them to say, you see, this is why we can’t have peace because we can’t afford to have our kids in beds sleeping and suddenly a rocket comes through the roof. But my argument is even though both sides may have areas of strong disagreement, may be engaging in activities that the other side considers to be a breach of good faith, we have to push through those things to try to get to an agreement — because if we get an agreement then it will be very clear what the nature of that agreement is: There will be a sovereign Palestinian state, a sovereign Jewish State of Israel.”
