Obama's Utterly Clueless European Adventure

Pointed out by RedState:

After extensive review and broad consultations with allies, President Barack Obama decided to reverse the Bush administration’s decision to withdraw two of the four US combat brigades in Europe and instead decided to retain three, as of 2015. Those brigades will be complemented by new forward deployments of Aegis ships and special operations aircraft, a permanent aviation detachment in Poland, and land-based missile defence systems in Poland and Romania. In the end, with the winding-down of the mission in Afghanistan, there will likely be more US forces in Europe in 2015 than there have been for the past decade.

(This despite his order that the Pentagon reduce another $400Bn from its spending over the next 10 years.)

Apparently Obozo wants our armed forces everywhere. It fits right in with his long-term strategy of destroying the US' position as the world's leading democracy.

After all, the Obozo plan worked for Rome and the Brits, right?
