Barack Obama may not have envisioned himself as a wartime commander in chief in 2008, but that is what he inevitably became. He will be faulted for many things in this role, no doubt, but one of the weightiest criticisms is, on its surface, the least probable for this rhetorically gifted man: his failures of speech.

As Obama ends U.S. security guarantees, nuclear weapons and violence will spread.

The most curious thing about this president is that he was elected in the midst of three open wars — the struggle against al-Qaeda and the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan — and yet he could not conceive of himself as a war president.

Perhaps the president and his aides are declinists, who think of the United States as too weak to act; perhaps they are indifferent; perhaps they are merely incompetent. In any event, this president will leave his successor a country that is considerably less secure than it was when he took the oath of office.
