U.S. foreign policy is a bipartisan fiasco. President George W. Bush gave the American people Iraq, the gift that keeps on giving. President Barack Obama is a slightly more reluctant warrior, but he is taking the country back into Iraq.

Hillary Clinton, the unannounced Democratic front-runner for 2016, supported her husbands misbegotten attempt at nation-building in Kosovo and led the drive for war in Libya, which is unraveling. Most of Clintons potential GOP opponents share Washingtons bomb, invade, and occupy consensus.

The only exception is Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. He stands alone advocating a foreign policy which reflects the bitter, bloody lessons of recent years.

The Islamic State of Syria and the Levant is the latest result of Washingtons incessant and counterproductive meddling in the Middle East. Nowhere has U.S. policy been more disastrous.

But the usual suspects are calling for more intervention, more war. This time, they promise, everything will go well.

This is the Obama administrations position in Iraq and Syria. However, Hillary Clinton has begun maneuvering for 2016 by running to Obamas right.

She consistently promoted a militarist policy in the Balkans and Middle East. She took a hawkish position on virtually every issue within the Obama administration. While she mocked the presidents mantra of Dont do stupid stuff, she spent her career doing just that.

Instead of offering an alternative, leading Republicans are all in for war, more war, forever war. The dual donkeys of the apocalypse, Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, naturally have been advocating that America intervene more in both Syria and Iraq.

Most plausible Republican candidates are running toward the interventionist sideline. They blame Obama for Iraq, even though it was George W. Bush who invaded that nation and failed to win Iraqi approval for a permanent U.S. garrison.

New Jerseys Gov. Chris Christie has ostentatiously joined the most hawkish GOP elements.
