The Terrorists Choice

Hat tip to: Jihad Watch, Infidels Are Cool and An Obama Nation

With endorsements from Hamas, Hezbollah and Fatah, is it any wonder that Barack Hussein Obama would issue the following statement:

The U.S. needs a foreign policy that “looks at the root causes of problems and dangers.” Obama compared Hezbollah to Hamas. Both need to be compelled to understand that “they’re going down a blind alley with violence that weakens their legitimate claims.” He knows these movements aren’t going away anytime soon (“Those missiles aren’t going to dissolve”), but “if they decide to shift, we’re going to recognize that. That’s an evolution that should be recognized.”

Right those missiles aren't going to dissolve. They are just going to keep coming. And this is Obama's idea of good foreign policy. Do nothing, hide your head in the sand, talk to them. Just what legitimate claims does Hezbollah and Hamas have? Has he read their Charters, their Manifestos? Hamas' Charter was posted in Trinity United Church of Christ's bulletin. What he doesn't read it? How convenient. He doesn't read the bulletin, doesn't listen to the Pastor's sermons, just shows up and sleeps.

But when President Bush criticizes his lack of foreign policy understanding, Obama goes ballistic. He carries on a temper tantrum (somebody better give this baby his bottle, he's getting cranky). This is the second temper tantrum in as many days he has given. The first was over the treatment of his wife. You know, the nice lady who has never been proud of the United States.

Now what did President Bush say that got Obama's shorts in disarray?

Could it be:

At its core, Bush said, this was a battle "between good and evil. The killers claim the mantle of Islam, but they are not religious men. No one who prays to the God of Abraham could strap a suicide vest to an innocent child, or blow up guiltless guests at a Pessah Seder, or fly planes into office buildings filled with unsuspecting workers."

Or this one:

The alliance between our governments is unbreakable, yet the source of our friendship runs deeper than any treaty. It is grounded in the shared spirit of our people, the bonds of the Book, the ties of the soul. When William Bradford stepped off the Mayflower in 1620, he quoted the words of Jeremiah: "Come let us declare in Zion the word of God." The founders of my country saw a new promised land and bestowed upon their towns names like Bethlehem and New Canaan. And in time, many Americans became passionate advocates for a Jewish state.

No it was this one. Words of truth and wisdom:

Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.

Some people suggest that if the United States would just break ties with Israel, all our problems in the Middle East would go away. This is a tired argument that buys into the propaganda of our enemies, and America rejects it utterly. Israel's population may be just over 7 million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because America stands with you.

When the truth is spoken, those who tell lies cringe. And President George W. Bush spoke the truth with such eloquence and conviction.

Yet, instead of agreeing with the President, Obama cried foul!

The Obama campaign issued an angry response to Mr. Bush’s statement. In an e-mail statement to reporters, the senator denounced Mr. Bush for using the 60th anniversary of Israel to “launch a false political attack,” adding, “George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”

Like his wife yesterday, he too should stay out of the kitchen. Yet Obama still doesn't "get it". He thinks that by giving lip service to the Jewish community he will gain their vote. The polls show it, but then again stranger things have happened in politics.

Barack Hussein Obama reminds me of another Black candidate: Jessie Jackson. You remember good ol' Jessie. Ran for President in 1984 and 1988. Was almost assured of a good showing in the primaries of 1984 until:

Rev. Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in January 1984 during a conversation with a black Washington Post reporter, Milton Coleman. Jackson had assumed the references would not be printed because of his racial bond with Coleman, but several weeks later Coleman permitted the slurs to be included far down in an article by another Post reporter on Jackson's rocky relations with American Jews.

A storm of protest erupted, and Jackson at first denied the remarks, then accused Jews of conspiring to defeat him. The Nation of Islam's radical leader Louis Farrakhan, an aggressive anti-Semite and old Jackson ally, made a difficult situation worse by threatening Coleman in a radio broadcast and issuing a public warning to Jews, made in Jackson's presence: "If you harm this brother [Jackson], it will be the last one you harm."

Bye bye Brother Jackson. You're anti-Semitism is showing. Although Jackson apologized, he couldn't shake the fact that he was the racist.

Now Obama is starting down the same slippery slope. First an adviser is caught meeting with Hamas. (I wonder what he offered them? More and better rockets to destroy the Jews with?) Another wants Israel to give up their Nukes and let Iran have Nukes instead. (Could you see that nutcase in Iran with a Nuke, now that's the stuff of nightmares!) And then there's dear old Grandpa Carter. Dear ol' Dhimmi Carter who not only met with Hamas leaders, laid a wreath at the tomb of Arafat the Murderer, but gave the leaders of Hamas a big bear hug. Dhimmi Carter who's failed foreign policies gave the world The Islamic Republic of Iran and 444 days of a Hostage Crises. Poor Grandpa Carter, he was so upset that the Israelis wouldn't let him into Gaza. Hamas must have promised to allow him to set off a few rockets into Sderot. (Somebody better find Grandpa Carter's pills, he's going senile again!)

Obama's latest burst is classic Obama. Don't criticize me. My experiences are a better judgment than yours. Or this one from today:

"The speech yesterday wasn't about an actual policy argument, it was about politics ... about trying to scare the American people. And that's what will not work in this election." "Who is this 'some' that they were talking about? ... Was this just a straw man that they were setting up? And if so ... what was the purpose of the remarks? I'm less concerned about whether the remarks were being directed against me personally, because frankly there is no evidence out there that I've ever suggested that we should engage terrorists. So obviously, it didn't apply to me."

If the shoe fits. Senator Obama forgets what he has said. Things like "let us talk to them". Neville Chamberlain did the same thing, and look what happened then.

John McCain showed wisdom in his statement:

“You know, it would be a wonderful thing if we lived in a world where we don’t have enemies but that’s not the world we live in. And until Senator Obama understands that reality, the American people have every reason to doubt whether he has the strength and judgment and determination to keep us safe,” McCain said, calling Obama’s foreign policy “reckless.”

and this one:

"I have some news for Sen. Obama. ... Unconditional meetings with a man who calls Israel a 'stinking corpse' ... will not convince Iran to give up its nuclear program. It is reckless ... to suggest that unconditional meetings will advance our interests."

Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton said he thought Bush:

“hit the nail on the head yesterday in Jerusalem. And today, the nails started to complain. It’s not just naïve. It’s dangerous for our country.”

Naive is just the word to describe Barack Hussein Obama. Childish is another. But we are not suppose to attack his words or his plans. Just listen to the rhetoric of his campaign: "I'll give you Change!"

I'm sorry Senator, but the Kindergarten is over. Now you're in the real political game. The US isn't Chicago, there will be no anointment from the masses. And the questions will be hard and fast. Better get used to the attacks. There are going to be more and more of them from now on!
