Edward Cox: Obama’s Indecision, Inexperience Doom Foreign Policy

President Barack Obama is so hopelessly inexperienced in foreign policy that he is careening from position to position on the Mideast chaos, just like Jimmy Carter did when he led the United States into disaster in Iran, New York State Republican Committee Chairman Edward Cox tells Newsmax.TV.

Obama’s scattered approach is unlike that of President Richard Nixon, who believed the United States should take a strong leadership role in the world, based on a thought-out strategy — and executing that plan even amidst opposition, said Cox, who is a Nixon son-in law.

Nixon demonstrated that belief when he normalized relations with communist China, Cox said.

“Mr. Obama doesn’t have that experience and so, like Jimmy Carter, he is going from one thing to the other,” Cox said.

Libyan strongman Moammar Ghadhafi “has to leave — no, we don’t mean he should leave; yes, he does have to leave,” Cox said. “The United States has to be consistent, has to lead, and Mr. Obama does not understand that, and he is looking a lot more like Jimmy Carter. And we know the disaster that happened when he handled the Iranian situation — and we are still suffering from that because the ayatollahs now control Iran because Jimmy Carter, President Carter was indecisive.”
