Defense Secretary Hagel has apparently been trying to get in contact with his Russian counterpart, but he (Shoigu) won't return Hagel's calls.

President Barack Obama had said at a townhall meeting yesterday that Malaysia must give equal opportunities to non-Muslims to continue prospering. –

A controversial statement made by US President Barack Obama yesterday that Malaysia must ensure non-Muslims in the country also have equal opportunities as its Muslim majority if the country wanted to continue prospering was conspicuously left out from the coverage of the president's visit in Umno mouthpiece, Utusan Malaysia, today.

Instead, the Malay-language daily higlhighted the president's comments on the dangers of sidelining the Muslim minority in Myanmar. However, there is no mention that the US leader had also expressed the same concern over the fate of the non-Muslim communities in Malaysia.

Utusan Malaysia, which ran an article in its foreign news section titled "Obama beri amaran Myanmar menuju keburukan" (Obama warns Myanmar heading for bad times), reported the president as saying that Myanmar's democratisation process was in danger, and that there was bound to be conflict when people organised themselves along ethnic and religious lines.

It further quoted Obama, who attended a town hall meeting with Asean youths yesterday, as saying that Myanmar would not succeed if the Muslims in the country were oppressed.

The US president was also quoted as saying that in the Myanmar crisis, the fate and rights of the Muslim minority was not protected.

Meanwhile, in its local pages, a report titled "Malaysia contoh pendukung hak asasi" (Malaysia an example of a human rights champion) quoted Obama as saying at the town hall meeting that no country can succeed if a group of its people was sidelined or discriminated against.

Does anyone really believe that Obama's foreign policy is working? How can anyone argue that, in the last 3-1/2 years, things have gotten better in the Middle East? I think the era of pandering is over since that was a huge failure. Let's try something else, shall we? ...

"run through the Executive Branch?" This is what Obama stated today in his press conference after Netanyahu's speech.Since when it is ONLY the President who makes decisions on foreign policy? Hasn't it always been Congress to decide and isn't it their job to decide funding, arms, or anything else with regard for foreign policy? This is the impression I got on that statement.

Remember 2008? One of Obama's weak points was foreign policy....he had NO experience in foreign policy. A lot of people don't want to vote for Romney because he doesn't have any foreign policy experience. To those people, I would love to know why they would vote for a candidate that had no foreign policy experience one year and four years later refuse to vote for someone because they don't have any foreign policy experience? Doesn't make sense to me. This post really d ...

He hasn't done a good job at foreign policy himself. In response to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s criticism of his Iran policy, President Obama suggested that the presumed candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination “bone up on foreign policy.” In other words, anyone who disagrees with the president on Iran’s nuclear program, or any other national security issue, is just not knowledgeable enough to understand. Of course, there is a very ...

Excerpt from the SLC Tribune's endorsement of President Obama for reelection: "Obama’s foreign policy record is perhaps his strongest suit, especially compared to Romney’s bellicose posture toward Russia and China and his inflammatory rhetoric regarding Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Obama’s measured reliance on tough economic embargoes to bring Iran to heel, and his equally measured disengagement from the war in Afghanistan, are examples of a nuanced approach to i ...

I may be all wrong here, but I'm wondering if having a weak president has led to all these scandals, e.g., IRS, NSA, F&F, Benghazi and now the VA (have I left any out?). Would the scandals have happened anyway, or did people think they could get away with stuff because this president is weak? I, for one, am becoming more and more convinced that government is too big. A lot of government entities should be privatized. Sign me,Recovering Democrat ...

What an embarrassment! With all that is going on, though, the president is once again off campaigning or golfing in Palm Springs or whatever.

He tells us that he can't speak for all of his fellow graduates, but he and his friends are not thrilled with the speaker. Can't say I blame the young people. They know what they're headed for unless there is a regime chan ...

Not really surprising how much of it goes to Muslim or Arab countries, but what the money is actually used for was an eye opener for me. Most Arab countries are oil rich....so my question is, why can't they take care of their own military and police forces and let us put some of those billions against reducing the deficit? Or...why not use that money to fund some of the programs people seem to think they can't live without within THIS country instead of ADDING to the deficit? ...
