The Obama doctrine: support dictators if they are anti-American

Michael Ledeen writes that there is, in fact, an Obama doctrine. It favors anti-American dictators.

There is an Obama Doctrine, but hardly anyone wants to acknowledge it. He favors anti-American dictators, and he couldn’t care less what they do to their people. That’s the doctrine that checks out: he favored the Muslim Brotherhood over the pro-American Mubarak; the Libyan insurrectionaries over Gaddafi, who had come to terms with the United States; the Iranian tyrants who crushed a pro-democracy uprising; and Assad (who, whatever Kerry and Hegel have said, is an enemy) against a revolution that at least contained pro-American elements, now suffering from Obama’s betrayal.

Ledeen also points out that the Obama doctrine is out of sync with the recommendations of three top female advisers, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, and Samantha Powers.
