Two successful assassinations — those of al-Awlaki and bin Laden — have persuaded some that President Obama, whatever his domestic failures, has presided over a successful foreign policy. This is way too generous. In fact with the exception of targeted assassinations and the surge in Afghanistan, the president seems to conduct foreign policy based on seat-of-the-pants responses to events,... 

The Obama administration must take stronger steps than just sanctioning five Iranian individuals, as it announced today, in response to the alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi envoy in Washington, Sen.

Clinton was responding to a question from Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) about the administration’s response to any effort by Congress to exercise its war powers, according... 

On March 28, President Obama delivered a speech for the purpose of explaining his decision to use military force in Libya. Although the President gave multiple justifications for the U.S. intervention, it appears more and more that his philosophical basis for ordering the use of force by the United States is based on a doctrine known as “the responsibility to protect” (R2P). Relying on the R2P...
