STEYN: Obama zones out

Search for president’s core uncovers - nothing

Except in one respect. There is a big hole where our strategy should be. It’s hard to fight a war without war aims, and in the end, they can only come from the top. It took the oil spill to alert Americans to the unengaged president. From Moscow to Tehran to the caves of Waziristan, our enemies got the message a lot earlier - and long ago figured out the rules of unengagement.

Mark Steyn is author of the New York Times best-seller “America Alone” (Regnery, 2006).
