>> I was talking about credibility in terms of current or potential allies thinking they can stand by us because we will stand by them, rather then abandoning them when the going gets tough.

Ok, I can live with that. But as I pointed out before, US foreign policy is always at the mercy of domestic politics and there is no way this will change in the foreseeable future. So how do you plan to achieve a credible reputation, when at most the life of a promise is the length of an administration and even that is very iffy is the domestic politics changes.
