Check out this post over at Powerline for a perfect summation of Obama's disastrous foreign policy. He's already being mocked by Iran's government spokesman:

US President Barack Obama's offer to talk to Iran shows that America's policy of "domination" has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday. "This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed," Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.

"Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change," he added.

This surprises no one except Obama's faithful disciples, who rocketed him to the Presidency based on the color of his skin. Period. What was the term Colin Powell used? Oh yes, "electrifying." Well, Mr. Powell, is this what you had in mind? As a military man and someone supposedly well versed on foreign policy, does this surprise you? DId you honestly think when you gave Barack Obama that boost right before the election, that he really was man enough to stand up to tyrants like Ahmadinejad? Or were you just looking for some face time on T.V.? This is the most unforgivable to me. I think Powell and others like him KNEW that Obama couldn't handle the job, but just like Democrats, put themselves above the safety of the nation. And Lieberman? I have nothing but contempt for the man. He tried to sound like he would stand on principle against the Democrats during their unwavering assault on America's security in the name of power, but where is he now? Yup. Still caucusing with the Democrats. Empty words, empty souls. They make me sick.

We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.
