'Joe Biden’s hybrid hawk-dove-ostrich foreign policy is doomed to failure in a harsh world that demands constancy and strength.'
You’ve probably heard politicians with muscular and aggressive foreign-policy views called "hawks" and those with timid or hesitant views called "doves." As a third avian category, I would add the "ostriches," who stick their heads in the sand to ignore gathering threats. Most politicians belong to one of these flocks. But not Joe Biden.
"I wish I could say Biden was a student of history," said senior Obama official during debates about the Afghanistan surge, but "that’s not Biden. He has gut instincts." Unfortunately, these instincts tend to line up with Democratic political trends, not America’s national interest.
