This president isn't weak and waffling. He's calculating, coldhearted, and decisive when it counts.
I had a strange thought late last week, while chatting with
a colleague about the various hot spots that are dominating the news and
interfering with U.S. President Barack Obama's vacation. Is it possible, I
wondered, that Obama is craftier and more ruthless than I've realized? I've
been disappointed by a lot of his foreign-policy decisions, but have I
underestimated him? Far from being indecisive or too easily swayed by hawkish advisors,
might he be even more of a realist than I am?
