Former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton, writing in the LA Times, compares Obama's foreign-policy blundering and dithering to Ethelred the Unready.

Yup, "Æthelred the Ill-Advised." But I can't say the thought didn't pass through my mind the minute Obama paid Danegeld to the Somali pirates. Yes, by all evidence, our current President has appallingly, almost unbelievably incompetent foreign-policy advisors ... but, remember, he appointed them. His bumbling and blundering on foreign policy, frighteningly, makes his domestic economic policy look almost competent by comparison. He seems to be engaged in an active program of showing weakness to each and every one of America's enemies in the world, one by one.

I think the Danegeld started in previous administrations . . .
