Obama criticized for its policy of international security

The harsh criticism that former Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, has made the security policy of President Obama, are in addition to those of senior officials released by the White House, including former Secretary of State and likely next democratic candidate in the presidential election, Hillary Clinton. The recent words of Obama, who has stunned the whole panorama diplomat, about the possibility that the war against the Islamic state can last up to thirty years, he has certainly highlighted as the main leader of the nation lies in the uncertainty over the global absolute in the face of a phenomenon that had been recognized as potentially very dangerous by many. Cero the hypothesis of an enlargement jihadist influence far beyond Syria and Iraq, with an encroachment in Africa, where they already operate similar movements to methods and ideology, the question arises as to the entire world forum on how to curb this danger. The President of the United States, however, albeit from a management of global Islamic terrorism, approximate and uncertain, probably has proposed such a long time to combat the problem, if only the USA will play a main function of the main opponent of the jihadists. It seems clear that a coalition that knows how to break the mold diplomats can win vested in a relatively short time, but this alliance is that only on paper and is representative only of a general incompleteness. These pads are very clear to the members of the Islamic State, which exploit divisions and lengthy decision-making, to operate emergency conquest and their local roots. Certainly the finding that a different management issues in the Middle East, would have avoided this advancing forces of the caliphate is true. The Obama's foreign policy was influenced by a campaign based on the return at any cost of American soldiers from Iraq, but the mismanagement of the country's democratic transition from the regime of Saddam, he was unable to prevent a greater political control. The assessment of the institutional Iraqi was held by amateurs of international relations, as well as on the actual capacity of the armed forces. There are two surveys not just because they are the basis of the diffusion and military capabilities of the Islamic State, which has been able to take advantage of the division between Sunnis and Shiites, and too much power concentrated in the hands of the latter, seizing, also of American military equipment , supplied to the armed forces in Baghdad, which allow the current dominance on the ground. However, these shortcomings could have been put remedy, if the area of the fighting will be limited to the territory of Iraq: what has precipitated the situation was the conquest of large parts of Syria by fundamentalists, a much more difficult terrain to control for the many political interests that revolve around this country. Obama was wrong not to develop strategies to bring down Assad, content of a treaty, limited and easy to circumvent the Chemical Weapons. The choice, therefore, not to the secular arm of the rebels was a consequence of, and a tribute to the negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue, which, at that time, was the main focus in foreign policy and that has made us lose sight of the emerging situations and succeeded, moreover, to worsen relations with the Sunni monarchies of the Persian Gulf. These findings, which are hardly deniable, however, constitute a precedent that the White House can not fail to assess and above all remember for the future. The advance of the Caliphate is now a global threat to American interests, despite the contrary perception of the majority of the American people; Obama, favored by the expiration of its term, it can still make decisions that may go against public opinion, obtaining loans at a later stage, when historians will face his eight years in office. But the spread of radical Islam is now too large to operate a contrast prominently by a single country, even though this, the USA is the most powerful in the world. In addition to internal difficulties, Obama will have to face the growing international resistance, which are maturing faster and faster in a diplomatic context in constant evolution. The critics, therefore, are correct, but they must overcome the challenge and become one of the constructive dimension of intervention to promote a strong and appropriate, but, above all, very fast.
