-- segment tonight is president Obama's foreign policy helping or hurting the country simple question complicated issue -- several watching -- Fox News political analyst Charles problem.
So you yeah it not agreeing with me here I mean I think overall I give him an Obama -- First of all let's -- us you heard the Pakistan thing I think the president's got to come out publicly assailant yet -- this -- you said.
I say the Pakistan thing exactly what you said.
Makes my case what's more important in the war on terror you have just said.
We've demonstrated to the -- that anybody on the globe.
Who helps the United States in the war on terror we're gonna abandon.
And they gonna be left out there hanging on only if there are two reasons why this guy's in trouble number one.
The fact as you pointed out the administration.
Has started to represented the king pointed out.
Talks about these operations why because it wants a political.
Credited talks about it and away.
That is unprecedented unconscionable I had to if it -- -- -- if it wasn't a direct Leakey was all they stay there oh yeah so anyway but that was a big mistake that the -- sailor got this guy anyway but it was a big mistake.
And then we'll have but but they got it on our authority from the highest authorities.
Number two another example.
We just had these double agent in Yemen.
Who discovered a new high -- underpants explosive right -- it takes you know and I know that the hardest thing to do an espionage.
He still plans to double agent.
And here we went in because -- administration wanted to dance on Michelin.
And spike in the end zone he -- the guys covered.
He had to be withdrawn.
And we lost all the future information we would've gotten.
That's an operation that could review that information -- -- oh yeah.
It's OK so basically you're saying then that the President Obama is more interceding getting political currency.
From the things that he does well.
Then really advancing the cause of of espionage and intelligence.
Overseas said that he doesn't really care about the long term he just wants to be a self Baghran dies.
I'm not -- saying here and are -- showed it okay all right now.
Overall.
Right that aside those mistakes aside.
What it is president Obama's biggest foreign policy blunder.
In -- it.
I would put that in the top three the other two are.
-- in 2009 we were given a historic.
And I'm deserves historic opportunity.
-- -- biggest adversary in the world in the region particularly in the Middle East.
Iran was hanging by a thread the regime is and by a thread how popular revolution we had nothing to do -- Erupted here what's it -- opportunity.
To change the entire strategic relationship in the Middle East and what did Obama do he did nothing what should he have done.
What -- what should we have done that first of our nation has spoken out on behalf of the demonstrate -- decision and all right out and said we support.
The people who are going up against the mall as we support that what else but he did worse than that.
He actually supported the mowers for that reason that he wanted to keep the regime in our office in power so you got somebody to negotiate with.
On the nuclear program under the assumption that because he is who he is that he could sweet talk of the arriving in -- bullish doesn't make any sense Charles.
Why would he want a pro western government if that's what took over making a lot easier to negotiate.
Nuclear then with these crazy miles.
That is exactly the question that history is gonna ask him.
How could there have been graffiti in the street.
By the democratic demonstrators who were getting shot and tortured that says Obama which side are you want.
That's the secret as he had done except -- -- -- -- could have done a lot of things rhetoric is one thing and not to support legitimacy of the regime.
Clandestine operations why do we have fifty.
Billion dollars in secret operations in the CIA.
If not for an opportunity right for this he was hands off he didn't mean nothing and we -- one of the great opportunities in history.
And the other policy I would look at is Russia.
The famous reset.
This is where he gave Russia everything they want it.
-- nuclear treaty -- -- any and they wanted.
They got accession to the World Trade Organization they've -- for that for years and they got a complete cancellation.
Of the missile defense system we had worked out.
Under the bush administration of the polls in the checks.
So he cancels it without even telling the -- wouldn't get an advance.
Don't even really thought -- -- -- got nothing -- given on the drone strike.
I've given him the -- and give them a.
