Flournoy: Obama speech ‘very nuanced’
May 28th, 2014

A speech Wednesday by U.S. President Barack Obama, billed as a major foreign policy address, was “a very nuanced message and it’s hard to communicate,” a former top U.S. Defense official told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
“Different people will hear it in different ways,” Michele Flournoy, who served as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy under President Obama, said.
Just 38% of American approve of President Obama’s foreign policy, according to a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll.

Nuance is good in diplomacy, but the bad guys need to hear the message spelt out in simple English.
Giving a speech on US Foreign Policy that is described by the Administration as “a very nuanced message and it’s hard to communicate,” and one that "different people will hear it in different ways" seems to be a very inept way to communicate international policy.
