Iran One, Obama Nothing
Forget the headlines. Forget today’s hype. The New York Times just dropped the Big One. Iran is reported by the United Nations to have enough enriched uranium for two nuclear weapons.
Reset everything. Erase everything else from your mind. The prospect of hanging concentrates the mind wonderfully, said Samuel Johnson, but that was assuming normal sanity. Only the insane and permanently self-deluded — read: the liberal media — will miss the big story and go off on incidentals. Forget the Gulf. Forget the “fake out Israel with another ‘peace’ flotilla” story of the day. Forget Obama playing golf.
Iran’s nuclear weapons are here, along with medium-range ballistic missiles. Soon to come: ICBMs that can reach the United States and all of Europe in 2015. They will import them from North Korea, just like they imported their nuclear technology from the A.Q. Khan network, their tunneling and hardening technology from the Norks, and their Scuds from anybody that would sell.
The Sunni Arabs are now looking to get Pakistani nuclear weapons fast, because Iranian nukes are right next door. The Bushehr nuclear reactor is fifty miles from Saudi Arabia, right next to Kuwait, the Gulf States, and Iraq. Iran borders on Afghanistan and even Pakistan. The Shiites have warred against the Sunnis for almost a thousand years. Ayatollah Khomeini himself tried to overthrow the Saudi regime next door, to conquer Mecca and Medina.
This means nuclear breakout in the Middle East. That is why Israel has just announced in public that it is permanently stationing one or more of its nuclear missile subs in the Gulf, within easy range of Tehran.
All the efforts to stop terrorists with nukes have now come to nought. George W. Bush rightly decided to knock over Saddam Hussein, not because the CIA had proof that Saddam had nukes, but because we had enough reason to suspect that he was on the path to them. In fact, Saddam had a warehouse full of yellowcake uranium, as even MSNBC admitted long after screaming George W. Bush out of office.
To quote Hurley from LOST:
“Aannndddd… We’re dead.”
” to deceive their millions of ignorant and wishful voters in order to elect an utter rookie with delusions of grandeur. Obama went straight from the Chicago machine to the White House.”
These words contain the seeds of understanding Mr. Obama: He can say anything now if it serves his purposes, no matter what he has said in the past. The only people who can do that are people who have either been trained out of their conscience or have never had one. A person who has never had a conscious is called a psychopath. Such people show little or no ability to recognize suffering in others. Others’ suffering does not motivate psychopaths since suffering is no different than not suffering. I think that describes Mr. Obama quite well and it constitutes sufficient reason for the people of this country to see that he never holds power again.
Absolutely correct! Iran blusters about their bomb, sends terrorists to kill American soldiers, and organizes Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Hizballa, and Hamas into a fighting front against America and Barack Obama strikes out at, Israel!
Can the supposed leader of the Free World be that completely incompetent?
Sadly, yes.
“Supposed leader of the free be that incompetent” yes in fact he really is. I fear for you Israeli’s, I really do. This week while most of the others in this world were chanting and openly calling, once again, for your deaths, We here in these United States are openly calling for this nimcompoop’s impeachment. Hows that for confidence in the “won” This is a dip-stick with oil on his face, quite literally.
Dip-stick or perhaps a close spelling variation?
Sadly yes. Plus this man “will” be reelected unless America wakes up and votes for competency and substance over party and color.
There is so much incompetency in Washington and the people that represent America. So much!! PC, don’t say this, don’t call them that..etc. It’s time to call a spade a spade and a radical a radical and do something about it!.
Regrettably, yes.
On the one hand, no. Obama will let Iran have nukes so as to destroy Israel. Iran doesn’t even have to use them; can Israel survive in the face of a constant “Nuclear Missile Crises” without building a wall to keep its citizens from leaving? On the other hand, yes. In Obama’s and the left’s opinion Israel must be allowed to be destroyed so that Islam will no longer hate us. Once Israel is gone, we leave Iraq and Afghanistan, and we allow Muslims in America to embrace Sharia we won’t have to fear Iranian nukes or Muslim terrorists. It’s not fair that we have them and the Iran’s doesn’t.
James, the late Oriana Fallaci(God rest her soul)wrote about the deadly alliance between the far left & the far right-distinctions without a difference-in 2006 in, ‘The Force of Reason’. This harrowing book puts paid to the nonsense that leftists NEVER hold hands with the far right, in the same manner as Sunnis wouldn’t hold hands with Shia when they share the same common enemy.As if.
The leftists/marxists in power in Washington are not only diehards, but they are in thrall with Islamists, simply because BOTH share the same goal-the destruction of the US as we know it.
This is a fact, a deadly one, and this is why the world watches aghast as a sea of red and green colors march in lockstep, united in their hatred of the west. It therefore comes as no surpise to learn that the cabal governing Washington is giddy with the news, now that Iran has enough ammunition to threaten the west into submission, they are closer than ever to imposing their own agenda.
After all, their dreams of a marxist led utopia is closer to fruition with a nuclear armed Iran pointed dagger-like at heart of the US.What they don’t yet understand-blind ideology tends to kill the brain cells-is that they are now in bed with the Islamic devil-literally.
And so the time has come..
Where they only have to be right once..
And we only have to be wrong once..
Soon..
Americans, if any are left, will understand..
Now Obama has sworn “to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
He hasn’t done that up until now, so why does anybody around here think that he will in the future? The Constitution also says something about protecting our borders. And what has his reaction been over the Arizona law? Condemnation, irritation, mocking the Arizona law, and offering every excuse for the Federal Government NOT to do what it is supposed to do, which is secure our border and enforce its own immigration laws.
He says he’s sending 1,200 National Guardsmen down to the border (I’ll believe it when I see it), and it certainly is an example of too little, too late. And if I know Obama, those 1,200 Guardsmen are probably auto mechanics or office workers, not Military Police or heavily armed troops. This is all for show, people, because we have an open-border socialist in the White House.
Regarding Iran, as I have said in another post on this blog, we are facing a showdown soon between Islam and and non-Islamic countries. The time is rapidly approaching when the world will have to take sides and decide if we will live in freedom or under Sharia law. There is no middle ground with these people. If Turkey openly decides to be on the side of the Islamo-Fascists like the ones in Iran or Saudi Arabia, the game is on and we had better prepare for what’s coming. The destruction of Israel will only be the start of it. Then it will be Western Europe and probably Asia after that. So decide which side you’re going to be on. But doing nothing or offering platitudes about “trying to understand Islam’s point of view” isn’t going to work anymore, just like it didn’t help those poor Europeans who refused to accept the threats that were coming out of Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
And to all of you liberals and leftists out there, if you don’t believe me, then let’s just do nothing, and put all of our trust in the hopes that the people running Iran, Libya, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Sudan, Chad, Somalia, Yemen, and a bunch of other countries, really do have America’s best interests at heart and really support the expansion of religious and political freedom around the world. And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
“Does the President know the score?”
Please. PLEASE! Enough of the “he’s naive”, “he’s inexperienced”, “he doesn’t know what he’s doing” garbage. Obama knows EXACTLY what he’s doing: 1) He’s changing this country into a socialist state as fast as he can; 2) He’s moving this country into dhimmitude as fast as he can.
Of course obama knows the score. He has allowed the visiting team to go up on top. Can anyone say shaving points.
I give Iran a lot more than one point. They just peeled a long-time ally (Turkey) away from the U.S. and Israel and brought them into their circle of Islamic radicals.
Turkey fought alongside us in Korea and was a solid Cold-War ally. Now they are gone to the dark-side.
Turkey went to the dark side a decade ago. They just hid that fact from the rest of us until the time was ripe.
Hardly. I must emphasize that the Turks have NEVER really been allies of the US and the West. Our mutual understanding in the Cold War was only the result of a once-in-a-century convergance of interests between ourselves and Ankara, and even then the Turks royally screwed with us by refusing to subordinate their units to NATO command, sabotaging several of our units (see the Izmir incident), and even on occasion tried to cut deals with the Red Bear.
The Turks have never really been allies, whether ruled by the Kemalists or the Islamists. It’s only now that that fact becomes obvious for all to see.
fascist-leftist is no different than saying socialist-communist. In both cases, the two concepts are just two positions on the same side of the political continum.
I doubt that Obama knows the score or that he really cares. But I’ll bet he knows the words to all of Paul McCartney’s songs. Our good time president doesn’t have time for national disasters, national security or foreign relations. Pickup basketball games, golf and vacations come first.
Humorous cartoon with Obama titled “Keeping Busy” at http://drawfortruth.wordpress.com/category/obama/ that shows why the President doesn’t have time to address these minor issues such as national defense. He’s got more important things to do.
Check out the cartoon . . . hopefully it will make you smile.
I wonder what Obama will do when the balloon goes up? ‘Duck and cover’, perhaps.
Iran has done far more than anyone here has given credit;
Planted spies into Pentagon system to guide the invasion and toppling of their arch enemy Saddam, among them Mr. Chalabi who is now director of Oil programs in Iraq. While he was spying for the pentagon they were paying him hundreds of thousands per month.
With Chalabi relaying information directly from Pentagon to Iran, the invasion was molded by Iran, which instructed Chalabi on what to detail to the Pentagon.
Without shedding a drop of blood Iran successfully involved the USA in doing what it could not; topple Saddam. In fact Iran made billions from the invasion, much of the cash sent by the Pentagon to reconstruct Iraq ended up in Iranian hands.
Iran is quite shrewd and able to play the great game as well as Israel, Britain or the USA. The USA has had blinders on for the last 10 years, its time to take them off.
I thought you said it was the Jews who tricked us into going to war against Iraq.
Then they really screwed up. Allowing a functional Democracy right next door and allowing a strong autonomous Kurdish state to exist right next door has sown the seeds of the regime’s destruction. The mullahs days are numbered, what emerges from that may become a new enemy or not. What can’t be ignored is that we also have a new enemy in Turkey. Kurdistan is a threat to that regime also. We need to recognize and support the Kurds but we won’t, any more than we will support our only other true ally in the region, Israel.
The one problem with your post is the word “new.”
Allenby, Haig, Churchill, and Montgomery would have disagreed.
Obama is not really in favor of Iran ruling the world. The IRG is in favor of that. Obama is in favor of Kumbaya with fascists whom he can’t recognize as such because his beliefs – indoctrinated in him by all the named suspects – are too close to his. Thus, Ayers, Dohrn and Code Pink were involved in the Gaza Flotilla. I believe that Obama ‘supports’ Israel’s ‘right to exist’ in the manner of J Street. He’s a little nicer than Ayers and Dohrn, and than David Axelrod.
The entire direction of US policy on Iran was set down when Bush gave up the game. This bothers me about these web sites – all the blame is put on the Democrats. Bush with the Iraq Study Group under Jim Baker, essentially waved the white flag on Iran, and Obama is continuing and ‘enriching’ that program. Bob Gates has said 1) that Iran just wants a bomb to defend itself from Israel and 2) it’s a fact that will (has) come into being.
Since Bush’s flip on Iran in 2006, the United States has been daring Israel to do all or most of the dirty work. Whether or not the US provides assistance, Israel will be ‘asked’ to take the lead (to survive), and Obama – and Gates – and Clinton – and Brzez – will seek to gain the maximum benefit with the Arab world in the aftermath by squeezing Israel hard in ‘peace negotiations.’
The only silver lining is that the Arabs may just understand that Israel, and not the United States, is the ‘strong horse’ as Osama likes to say. And then actual peace may occur – without the self-interested meddling of the USA.
If you were reading these web sites back then you should have noticed we were plenty hard on Bush on spending, the border, and Iran.
This articles title is correct with the exception of the obvious continuations. It should be Iran, North Korea, Two Wars, the party of No, drill baby drill t-bags…and a small recession and a another small leak in the Gulf one… OBama Zero.
This President needs to roll up his sleeves and re-double his efforts to get more done. Panty waggin will not work. Get to work Mr. President, the country is waiting……. the photo shoot is now officially over.
I see you’ve given up trying to appear intelligent.
Hey Silicon for brains…
RE: “…when Bush gave up the game.” & “…Bush’s flip…”:
As President Harry Truman said, “The buck stops….. at George Bush!” Are you left-wingers ever going to stop playing the Bush card? I suspect the answer is a resounding “NO!”. Obama is responsible for what he does today, and what he’s doing to stop the proliferation of nukes is a resounding… NOTHING!
Obama is ‘nothing’ but a prize for the Mullahs in Tehran, and a Trojan Horse for the rest of us!
That is the phenomenon that I call “the chimera”.
But then again, it is not so strange that the absolute nihilists (the fascist-marxists) ally themselves with the absolute barbarians (the islamofascists).
But they are just fools.
They can cause great, colossal, suffering, but Freedom will win in the end.
Because Freedom is a Gift of God Who Is Infinite Love, and it cannot be defeated.
It may take a long way, but the world will get rid of these ghosts.
Let’s pray, let’s open our minds and hearts to the Infinite Love of God.
What is ironic is those in the greatest danger from another Muslim bomb are Muslims. Muslim terrorists have killed far more Muslims than infidels; nuclear terrorists will kill millions more. I get no satisfaction in saying the Middle East will soon glow, saddest thing being the loss of Israel, but things seem to be going that way.
The President, whether by misguided design or incompetence, is hastening the moment when Israel, deprived of its only ally, will feel compelled to strike before it, itself, is the victim of a first strike. In that event the consequences for Europe and America will, in all likelihood, be disastrous.
Its hard for Israel to contemplate attacking Iran. Iran has 40,000 missiles in Lebanon ready to be fired into Israel. These missiles will cover all of Israel this time. Do you remember the 10,000 missiles they had and the destruction/terror caused by them in northern Israel? Attacking Iran will mean living in bomb shelters for many months, destruction of Israel’s cities, industry, economy, and defense.
That’s where Israel’s nukes come in.
They would have to nuke Lebanon then eat the fallout for years. Nukes aren’t the answer, not that close in. This reminds me of the American General undergoing tactical training during the Cold War. When asked what he would do if his unit was attacked by ten divisions of Russian mechanized armor, he answered “I would drop the biggest nuke I have right on the middle of them.” He was quickly told, “Congratulations you just wiped out your unit too.”
Google ‘neutron bomb’.
“Iran is nearly ready to build the bomb. Does the president know the score?”
Yes.
He’s ok with it.
A commenter…..
“Now Obama has sworn “to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
“He hasn’t done that up until now, so why does anybody around here think that he will in the future?”
I don’t know anyone who believes that he will defend and protect the Constitution of the United States. Do you? The people who support him do not now, and never have, used his fulfilment of that oath as a condition for their support. They don’t care. Some of them because of incredible, vacant stupidity. But they.don’t.care.
Tell you what, Andy Gump. you surrender and endure eternal sodomization and I’ll nuke ‘em and turn their land into a haven for radioactive rattlesnakes.And if I have to die to wipe them out, its more than worth it.
The Bad Guys are willing to die for the right to terrorize us, so we Good Guys must be ready to die to eliminate their threat.
