the obama administration seems undeterred in any way, and mr. obama must laugh when he hears his critics say he has no strategy in foreign policy because he clearly does, and what many of his critics refuse to acknowledge is that the obama strategy is unwavering and it is deafening. the president is rolling back decades of u.s. foreign policy. reneging on countless commitments and once reliable alliances, withdrawing not only from iraq and afghanistan but the middle east as he offers weapons to some allies but not all, and no more degrade and destroy the islamic state, that would be much too big a commitment for this president. a president who has acceded to vladimir putin's annexation of crimea and much more territory across eastern europe and acceded his roll to the ayatollah khomeini as well, and few would imagine that chinese president chi is worried that our president would present much of an impediment to chinese territorial expansion, and certainly our president is hardly concerned about our own borders or those who cross it now at will.

the obama administration has granted shell conditional approval to begin offshore oil drilling in the arctic this summer, despite protests by environmentalists and a spate of safety problems. shell was previously allowed to begin arctic drilling in 2012, but its attempts were beset by mishaps, including an oil rig which ran aground. the interior department found the company "screwed up," failing on a number of basic tasks, including supervision of contractors. but the department will now allow shell to drill in the pristine and highly remote chukchi sea, off the coast of alaska, an area roiled by extreme weather which would be extremely difficult to reach in an emergency. environmentalists soundly condemned the government's decision. rebecca noblin of the center for biological diversity said -- "scientists tell us that if we want to avoid the worst effects of climate change, we need to keep arctic oil in the ground. arctic drilling gives us a 75% chance of an oil spill and a 100% chance of climate catastrophe." in yemen, saudi-led airstrikes pounded the capital sanaa and southern port
