That is what Foreign Policy’s The Cable asked President Obama’s Assistant Secretary Of State for Public Affairs P.J. Crowley – and his answer sure was surprising:

I think the next 30 years will be defined in terms of how we manage the environment and whether we are prepared to reduce the release of greenhouse gases, reduce our use of fossil fuels and increase alternative sources of energy.

So according to the Obama administration, global warming poses a greater threat than international terrorist organization or rogue state such as Iran and North Korea acquiring nuclear weapons.  But should we really be surprised? This is the same administration that read Miranda rights to an international terrorist after only 50 minutes of interrogation, an administration that treats terrorists as common criminals by granting them civilian court trials in New York City, and an administration that fails to effectively confront Iran over its nuclear program.

Instead, his most important foreign policy objective is to institute a job-killing “cap-and-trade” national energy tax scheme, either through legislation or regulation. No wonder Americans are disappointed in his handling of the economy.
