In the Face of World Challenges, More Weakness

The international community, from China to Russia to Iran to Hamid Karzai to Iran, have taken the measure of B. Hussein Obama and found him to be weak. So, they have steadily taken advantage of the Anointed One and his equally ineffective Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The Chinese are manipulating their currency to affect the balance of trade with the US. Instead of declaring them currency manipulators as the US law requires, Obama directs Timmy Geithner (Timmahh!) to blink.

Russia flaunts its trade with rogue regimes like Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela. We do nothing.

Iran laughs at the possibility of facing sanction over its nuclear ambitions, while Obama and Clinton attempt to cow the Israelis.

Hamid Karzai is fed up with the duplicitous nature of dealing with the Chicago mafia in the White House, and threatens to welcome the Taleban into his government.

All of these nations can do so because they know Obama has no interest in projecting real power around the world. Obama is ashamed of the power of the United States - a nation he, his wife, and his minister all detest.

So, in the face of all these challenges, Obama wants to take the nuclear deterrent off the table. Do what you like, world, we will not use nuclear weapons against you. Really, Obama won't do anything at all. The doors are open, take whatever you like.

We won't protect our borders, but we subject our own citizens to virtual strip searches.

We won't fight Islamic terrorism, but we will target critics of Obama for investigation.

We won't nuke you, even if you use chemical or biological weapons against us. I'm sure taking nuclear weapons off the table puts real fear in our enemies.

Time out doesn't work on terrorists, rogue regimes, or competitive superpowers. We have never had a president so completely clueless about the nature of foreign affairs - either that or B. Hussein Obama really wishes ill to come to the United States. The bad guys are out there and trying every day to hurt us. Fewer defensive tools is not what we need.

This man's presidency is going to ruin this nation. God help us all.

Robert Gates' Brain Has Rotted

US Defense Secretary Robert Gates is keeping up his long-held mantra (can’t blame Obama for this position Gates is taking) to normalize relations with the government in Iran. This government is run by a hostage-taker who stormed the United States Embassy in Iran and held Americans hostage for 444 days. That government. The government that calls the United States the “Great Satan.”

As to Iran’s rapidly developing nuclear weapons program, Gates says we and our “allies” (remember, Obama says we don’t have any allies anymore) need to convince Iran that its nuclear arms program will set off an “arms race” that will allegedly leave Iran less secure.

What the what???

Exactly what arms race does Gates think Iran is going to run? The United States has already won the arms race with Iran. What else will the US and its “allies” have to spend to win this arms race with Iran? What in the world does Gates think Iran is spending its money to achieve. I can guarantee you Iran’s government could not care less what the United States is spending its arms money on.

Gates’ other bad idea to isolate Iran is to pursue a “partnership” with Russia on missile defense programs. Oh yea, our “allies” (like Russia, one supposes) also need to put economic sanctions on Iran. You know, because they have been so willing to do so before.

So, Robert Gates, let me hip you on a few things.

First, Iran’s nuclear program is not aimed at the United States, and it will not engage the United States with a nuclear bomb. There is no arms race we can run that will be joined by Iran. No such arms race will destabilize Iran. Your plan is the same sort of mushy Harvard dorm room thinking that got Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions. Oh wait, North Korea is still pursuing the bomb. Well, I guess you got an A on your paper in college. This ain’t college.

Second, we don’t have allies. Obama said so. And Obama is right, when it comes to asking countries like Russia, China, Turkey, and others to stop providing Iran with trade, commerce, and materials and hit Iran with sanctions. Gates is starting to act like the skank gutter trash that keeps getting kicked to the curb, but still goes back to his abusive boyfriends China and Russia because he really, really wants to be liked by these abusive louts.

Third, missile defense programs are there to protect us FROM Russia. Cooperation with Russia on the systems merely gives Russia the ability to defeat our defenses. Did you not take an oath to DEFEND the United States.

I hope somebody in the Senate grows a pair an calls Gates out on this mushy-headed thinking. Gates is starting to sound like a full blown McGovernite.
