Obama Shows His True Colors - Red

On the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland, B. Hussein Obama once again abandons Poland and the Czech Republic to Soviet oppression by abandoning the plan to install and support anti-missile technology on the soils of both of our allies.

In this action, Sec. of Defense Robert Gates again shows himself as a purely unprincipled political hack. The thought that Russia would engage Iran in a manner to reduce Iran’s bellicose behavior is criminally false.

Obama is doing this to appease his Communist masters in the former Soviet Union. Such an action is completely consistent with a fifth column member, and Obama is now the Commander in Chief of the fifth column in the United States.

The presidency of this destructive useful idiot continues to show weakness in the face of Russian aggression:

-- Russia invaded Georgia with no meaningful American response.

-- Russia threatens nuclear war with Poland due to the inclusion of Poland in the new US missile defense shield.

-- Russia cuts off Ukraine's electricity as penalty for Ukrainian support of the US missile defense shield.

-- Russia practices nuclear war on the United States in a joint exercise with China as a part of the new "Shanghai Cooperation Organization."

-- Russia is designing and adding next generation ICBMs in violation of START.

-- Russia continues to provides extensive nuclear expertise and technology to enemies of the US, including Iran.

-- Russia is reestablishing a Warsaw Pact which features Iran as one of its members.

The presidency of B. Hussein Obama cannot end quickly enough. The very existence of the free world hinge on his anti-freedom agenda.

Update: "This is not good news for the Czech state, for Czech freedom and independence," said Mirek Topolanek, the former Czech Prime Minister. "It puts us in a position where we are not firmly anchored in terms of partnership, security and alliance, and that’s a certain threat."

Reminder: Both Poland and the Czech Republic have provided troops to work along side US troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Both of these countries are part of the coalition of the willing. Chilling relations with staunch allies is so foolish as to defy description.

The Taleban and the Naiveté of the Liberal

One overriding principle of the American liberal is that when it comes to foreign policy, a liberal cannot see the world for what it is. Blinded by their own self-righteousness and feelings of moral superiority, they surrender our best weapons, jettison our imperfect friends, and condemn millions to slavery under dictatorial regimes.

The latest demonstration of this as it related to the Obama administration comes, not unexpectedly, in relation to our Islamist enemies. Juxtapose these two news stories:

The Taleban Takes Human Shields In Fight With Pakistani Troops; reportedly holding 2,000 villagers as human shields to stop the Pakistani military from retaking a Northwestern Pakistan District.

and

Obama Administration releases secret interrogation memos: says the United States will not use coercive interrogation techniques in the future. The “reasoning” goes that if we treat Islamist fighters gently, they will treat American prisoners gently as well.


Of course, there are no living American prisoners of Islamists, and those taken prisoner by Islamists don’t live very long. Let alone tortured for year. Most are beheaded on video tape for showing via Aljazeera or Live Leak.

The Taleban’s mentality is a throwback to the 14th century. They didn’t sign the Geneva Conventions, nor did Islamists, and adherence to Western notions of kind treatment for prisoners is viewed as weakness.

Furthermore, the actions described in the memos were not torture. It is hard for liberals --who spend years on a head shrink’s couch being medicated by anti-depressants to deal with most modern inconveniences of living like showing up for work, raising their offspring, and dealing with their parents’ aging process -- to understand that stress is not torture.

Stress is not torture. Stress positions are not torture.

Basic training is not torture. Sleep deprivation is not torture. Extreme physical activity is not torture.

Being dunked in a swimming pool by your older brother is not torture.

Spook house frights are not torture.

Anything that costs a person $300 an hour in Vegas is not torture.

Listening to liberals pontificate about how we should treat Islamists – that’s torture.
