ABSTRACT

The article discusses how the Republican Party can attack the foreign policy of U.S. President Barack Obama after the successful killing of Osama bin Laden, the most wanted man in the U.S. list of terrorists. It alleges that President Obama has shown a feckless foreign policy on Libya and on his decision to close Guantanamo Bay camps. The article also faults President Obama for his overly conciliatory outreach to the Muslim world and his admission of past U.S. mistakes and views White House pressure on Israel as a betrayal of a cherished ally.
