The Soros Doctrine in Obama Foreign Policy
By
Kyle-Anne Shiver
President Obama is rapidly replacing the Bush Doctrine with the Soros
Doctrine, implementing the
foreign policy tenets of the principal financier of the
American left.
When Charlie Gibson
peered pedantically
down his nose at Sarah Palin last fall, asking "Do you agree with the
Bush doctrine?," I could
not help but wonder whether anyone in our esteemed mainstream
media would have the intelligence or the temerity to ask candidate
Barack Obama whether he
agreed with the Soros doctrines.
Too late now.
Soros doctrines reign in the Obama White House and we're about to learn
firsthand whether they
represent the ideology of choice for a safer U.S.A.
Or whether they were just the cockamamie delusions of an aged, amoral
currency manipulator put
in play by a neophyte politician with a staff-scripted teleprompter
glued to each hip.
But first, a little review of the Bush doctrine and its track record.
This is for you, Charlie Gibson.
In a piece titled,
"Charlie Gibson's Gaffe,"
Washington Post writer, Charles Krauthammer offered the most succinct
summation of the Bush
doctrines (There were four.), stating emphatically that Gibson's
smug definition came up quite short of the mark.
Krauthammer (who was himself the first to use the term, "Bush doctrine")
delineated four
distinct and superceding elements to Bush foreign policy:
block quote
#1 (pre-9/11) - unilateral withdrawal from the ABM treaty, the Kyoto
protocol and other
international initiatives, which were deemed by President Bush harmful
to U.S. interests.
#2 - the "with us or against us" speech to Congress nine days after
9/11, which quickly resulted
in the 7-point ultimatum given to President Musharraf of
Pakistan, demanding his withdrawal of support for the Taliban.
#3 - in the wake of our invasion of Iraq, President Bush gave his
justification for preemptive
war for defensive purpose.
#4 - enunciated in President Bush's second inaugural address, that the
fundamental mission of
American foreign policy is to aid the spread of democracy
throughout the world.
block quote end
The bottom line for America is that we know for certain the Bush
Doctrines kept us safe for
seven whole years, kept our IslamoFascist foes magnetized in
Afghanistan and Iraq and kept other enemies balanced on their toes with
the full knowledge that
any belligerent move would be met with U.S. force.
Say whatever you will, Charlie Gibson, the cowboy kept us safe.
Soros, the Anti-Bush
block quote
"I have made rejection of the Bush doctrine the central project of my life."
-- George Soros,
Wall Street Journal; March 3, 2004
block quote end
The relevant question here would seem to be, Why? What was it,
specifically, about the Bush
Doctrines that so roiled George Soros?
Soros published his own book on the subject in 2003: The Bubble of
American Supremacy: The
Cost of George W. Bush's War in Iraq. The Soros Doctrine boils
down to a short list of simple tenets:
list of 3 items
. President Bush's reaction to 9/11 was an extreme over-reaction. The
Wars in Afghanistan and
Iraq have been counterproductive in the world scheme of things,
causing far more harm than help.
. The Global War on Terror was ill-conceived, ill-fought and ought to be
dismantled, the sooner
the better for international relations.
. The desire to spread American democracy to other regions is based on a
false set of documents,
namely the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
Soros' belief that there is no such thing as a universal truth, that all
things are relative and
all moral systems are essentially equivalent leads him
to conclude that our founding documents are fundamentally flawed in that
they claim to rest upon
"self-evident truths."
list end
These might be called more accurately, anti-tenets, as they merely serve
to refute the Bush
Doctrines. But any careful observer would be inclined to make
special note of Soros' ever-present insistence that American foreign
policy be formulated in a
way that puts international objectives ahead of U.S. objectives.
Soros expects the U.S. to subjugate herself to what he believes will
help the whole world, not
merely us and our interests.
So, what doctrines does Soros specifically advocate?
list of 5 items
. The United States should use its position of financial and military
might to "lead a
cooperative effort to improve the world by engaging in preventive
actions of a constructive character."
. The United States should increase foreign aid to all who need it.
Soros believes that by
giving grants, as opposed to loans, to developing countries,
we make friends and give people what they need, thereby decreasing the
incentives for making war
against us.
. Terrorists have always been with us, Soros insists, and terrorism
requires "police action,"
not wars based upon "imperialist intentions."
. Only an international body (such as the U.N.) can solve the problem of
terrorism as it is an
inherently international problem.
. The Bush Doctrine of holding host nations responsible for their
support and protection of
terrorist entities shuts down the necessary diplomatic channels,
which would otherwise lead to joint solutions.
list end
The bottom line is that George Soros is an internationalist; he always
has been. He has even
said that the only thing the U.S. does for him is issue his
passport, which is itself an obsolete instrument of the even more
obsolete nation-state concept.
Soros Doctrines and President Obama
President Obama's Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has begged the
Chinese to support our debt,
while sloughing off human rights abuses by the communist
regime and has praised the environmental efforts of our Mexican
neighbor, while making no
mention of the flood of Mexican illegal immigrants invading our
southern borders. Madame Clinton has finger-wagged our Israeli allies,
while securing $900
million in American aid to the beleaguered Palestinians (read
Hamas) while there are no demands on them to stop firing rockets into
Israel. Madame Clinton
has additionally pledged a $200 million scholarship fund
for Palestinians.
Buying friends is a staple of Soros foreign policy. Greased palms, he
seems to believe, provide
a great deal of "cooperation."
Candidate Obama echoed this view in his Berlin citizen-of-the-world
address
, stating,
block quote
"Partnership and cooperation among nations is not a choice; it is the
one way, the only way, to
protect our common security and advance our common humanity."
block quote end
Adhering to Soros doctrine again, President Obama has declared that the
United States is no
longer engaged in a "Global War on Terror." We are now conducting
"overseas contingency operations." For seven long years, George Soros
vociferously attacked
Bush for declaring war on terrorism, calling the Global War
on Terror a
"false metaphor,"
which inevitably resulted in catastrophic civilian casualties, in turn
creating more terrorists
for the future.
In addition, Obama has echoed Soros' objection to Gitmo and has declared
that it will be closed
within the year. Obama seeks to revert to the failed Clinton
policy of treating terrorism as an international policing problem, and
plans to rely on the
Soros doctrines of cooperation, international law and law enforcement
actions that do not use military force except for police functions.
Interestingly, President Obama's intention to deploy 21,000 additional
troops to Afghanistan
falls into what Soros counts as a police function. The original
intention of Operation Enduring Freedom (War in Afghanistan) was to
capture Osama bin Laden,
destroy al-Qaeda, and remove the Taliban regime which had
provided support and safe harbor to al-Qaeda. If bin Laden is ever
captured, then presumably
the Afghan "contingency operation" will end and President
Obama will work out a peace accord with the
"moderates"
of the Taliban, as
Pakistan
has done.
When President Obama announced last week his intention to add 4,000
troops to the earlier
declared 17,000 additional forces to Afghanistan, he added that
he intends to garner Congressional approval for a $15 billion aid
package for Pakistan. The $15
billion for Pakistan's leaders will most likely be approved,
in spite of our own intelligence evidence, which
concludes
the Pakistan government is using our money to finance the Taliban in
Afghanistan. The Taliban
is killing U.S. soldiers, using our own money, funneled
through the middleman, Pakistan.
One must surely wonder whether Soros and Obama have ever read the Koran.
It certainly appears
that they have not.
At this point, a mere 2 months into the Presidency of Barack Obama, it
seems painfully clear
that we have not only elected a deceitful knave, but one intent
on the complete dismantling of our own defenses, with seemingly very
little concern for the
consequences.
The icing on this poisonous cake would seem to be that we ourselves will
pay for our own
destruction.
Boiled down to the dry pot, we must conclude that President Obama, his
entire Administration,
the Democratic Congress and their favorite benefactor, George
Soros, have an evolved form of slavery in mind. It's a type of slavery
whereby the productive
class is held shackled to the political class's outlandish
worldview that there isn't a single problem under the sun, which cannot
be swiftly solved with
our money, produced by the sweat of our collective brow.
They consider our wages and the wages of our children and grandchildren
to be their own
property, to be squandered in whatever manner they see fit.
And I believe this has a name, even though we modern folks have long
forgotten not only its
name, but the centuries of toil and buckets of blood that went
into dismantling the system than enthroned it. It's called, I believe,
serfdom.
