WEST POINT, New York (Reuters) – President Barack Obama declared on Saturday the United States cannot act alone in the world and pledged to shape a new "international order" as part of a national security strategy to seal his break with Bush-era policies.

The phrase new world order came from a speech made by George HW Bush. President Obama wants to work with other nations to fight terrorism and solve global problems instead of trying to police the world alone, no conspiracy there, just common sense.



President George HW Bush announcing war against Iraq

“This is an historic moment. We have in this past year made great progress in ending the long era of conflict and cold war. We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order -- a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful -- and we will be -- we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders.”

George W. Bush in 2002 laid out the "Bush Doctrine" asserting the right to wage pre-emptive war against countries and terrorist groups deemed a threat to the United States, part of a policy he called a "distinctly American internationalism."

What followed was the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq despite the lack of formal U.N. authorization.



“Obama's speech previewed his new National Security Strategy -- required by law of every U.S. president -- to be released next week. His words suggested it would deviate sharply from Bush's go-it-alone approach that placed U.S. power over diplomacy in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks.



Since taking office last year, the Obama administration has fueled speculation that the president's new strategy will officially back away from that controversial concept.

Though Obama did not explicitly revoke the Bush Doctrine at West Point, he emphasized the need to prevent attacks through multilateral cooperation with intelligence agencies "working seamlessly with their counterparts to unravel plots."



Obama said the United States must strengthen existing alliances, build new partnerships and promote human rights worldwide as it pursues a strategy of global leadership.

"We are clear-eyed about the shortfalls of our international system," he said. "But America has not succeeded by stepping out of the currents of cooperation."



"We have to shape an international order that can meet the challenges of our generation," he said.

Obama's call for global cooperation was also a message to NATO allies in Afghanistan to stiffen their resolve when questions are being raised about their commitment to the war.”

the two Bush and Obama have been chosen to grow to be president of the U.S. of A. by the Bilderberg team. The Bilderberg team is a consultative arm of the Zionist banking oligarchy which will, interior the no longer too distant destiny convey the hot worldwide Order into being. many human beings have now heard references to the hot worldwide Order, possibly "New worldwide Order" is seen a softer way of announcing it. Even Gordon Brown, the at the instant defeated British top Minister, in his info to the Chilcot Iraq enquiry stated in one in each and every of his solutions and that i quote:- 7 RT HON GORDON BROWN MP: Our place grow to be no longer that. Our 8 place grow to be to help action so as that the choose of the 9 worldwide community, that Saddam Hussein disclose 10 and eliminate weapons, be strengthened, and on the decrease back 11 of my recommendations grow to be this sense that, if the worldwide 12 community did no longer act right here, then the worldwide 13 community could discover it perplexing to income credibility 14 for performing in different components, and this new worldwide order that 15 we've been attempting to create grow to be being positioned in threat. The names of Presidents and the ruling political occasion might exchange however the unelected shadow government with the authentic skill is often the comparable. that's no longer totally an American difficulty.

The United States could act alone if politicians would step out of the way. Business and industry would come back, instead of being regulated right out of the country. People could get jobs instead of being laid off because of 2,400 page health care bills (no one bothered reading) and cap and trade meant to make energy impossible to afford.



Obama wants an International Order only because he is incompetent and can't do the job of President.

Because he wants to be Dear Leader of the whole thing. He's an egotistical maniac who, by the way, hates the West and would love to destroy its civilization by shoving it together with the Third World.

We need to have a new Security Strategy that involves other nations.



Like we used in WWI and WWII.



It is very expensive and makes us less safe to go it alone on every security issue.

It is. This is a new international order, not new world order. It doesn't mean squat. It's like saying "It's gonna be a bright and sunny day for America!".

Do you prefer that he just says, "Let's keep doin' what we've been doin'."? Things were headed in the right direction all along in every way?

Obama still has the delusion that everyone in the international community likes him because he has literally bent over at the feet of foreign leaders.

Obama wants to be king of the world.



@sydney- "new world order" concept has been around LONG before bush, so I suggest you pull you head out of your *** and move on to another person to blame everything on.
