Time's Up!



For Obama's appeasement of Iran's Nuclear Program.  This is the latest assessment of the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS).  An assessment that is very scary to comprehend.
Iran could produce enough weapons-grade uranium to build a nuclear bomb in as little as a month, according to a new estimate by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), considered one of the United States’ top nuclear experts.

ISIS made the estimate in a new report published on Thursday by USA Today.

"Shortening breakout times have implications for any negotiation with Iran," stated the report. "An essential finding is that they are currently too short and shortening further."

David Albright, president of the institute and a former inspector for the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the estimate means that Iran would have to eliminate more than half its 19,000 centrifuges to extend the time it would take to build a bomb to six months.

The Obama administration has said Iran is probably a year away from having enough enriched uranium to make a bomb. Requests for comment on the ISIS report from the National Security Council and the State Department were not answered.

In the report, Albright said negotiations with Iran should focus on so-called "breakout" times, or the time required to convert low-enriched uranium to weapons-grade, according to USA Today.

Albright, who has testified before Congress, said the negotiators should try to find ways to lengthen the breakout times and shorten the time that inspectors could detect breakout.

ISIS' analysis is based on the latest Iranian and United Nations reports on Iran's centrifuge equipment for producing nuclear fuel and its nuclear fuel stockpiles.

Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium has nearly doubled in a year's time and its number of centrifuges has expanded from 12,000 in 2012 to 19,000 today.

Senator Mark Kirk, an Illinois Republican whose Senate Banking Committee is considering legislation to tighten Iran sanctions, said the report shows that Iran is expanding its nuclear capabilities under the cover of negotiations.

"The Senate should move forward immediately with a new round of sanctions to prevent Iran from acquiring an undetectable breakout capability," he told USA Today.

The White House has said new sanctions legislation should wait while current negotiations - scheduled to resume officially in Geneva next month - are moving forward.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said his country has no interest in nuclear weapons but that producing nuclear fuel is Iran's right. His foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has said Iran will not ship its nuclear stockpile to a third country.

Iran has refused to let international inspectors into its nuclear facilities to verify they are being used for peaceful purposes, access required under international agreements it has signed.

On Wednesday it was reported that a prominent Iranian lawmaker has claimed that Tehran does not need any more 20 percent-enriched uranium.

“Tehran reactor fuel has been supplied and currently no need is felt for production of 20 percent-enriched uranium," the lawmaker, Hossein Naqvi Hosseini, was quoted as saying.

He added that "Tehran is ready to convert its stockpile of 20 percent-enriched uranium to fuel rods and remove concerns over its non-peaceful use.”

The comments come a week after Iranian negotiators met with representatives of the so-called P5+1 - the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain and Germany.

During the two-day session in Geneva, the first round of talks between the sides since the election of Rouhani, Iran presented what it described as a breakthrough proposal that would include snap inspections of its atomic sites.

The proposal was described by the White House as "useful". White House spokesman Jay Carney said it showed a "level of seriousness and substance that we have not seen before." Western negotiators described the talks as the most detailed and serious to date.

ISIS estimated in October of 2012 that Iran could produce enough highly enriched uranium for a bomb within 2-4 months. The new estimate is based on an analysis of the latest reports by Iran and the IAEA.

ISIS considered various scenarios, including if Iran decided to build a covert enrichment plant like it has under a mountain in Fordow, near the city of Qoms, that was designed for optimal efficiency and minimal time to enrich enough uranium for bomb making.

Such a facility built with current Iranian technology could produce enough material for a bomb in a week, according to the ISIS report.

"If they did that and they were caught it would be a smoking gun of a nuclear weapons program," Albright said, according to USA Today.

ISIS has in the past produced satellite imagery which proves that Iran was making alterations to the Parchin complex, a military site that the IAEA says was possibly used to test conventional explosive triggers for a nuclear blast.

Iran has refused to give the IAEA access to sites, documents and scientists involved in what the agency suspects were efforts, mostly in the past but possibly ongoing, to develop nuclear weapons.

SOURCE
It is only a matter of time before Iran builds a bomb, tests a bomb, then sets a list of demands to the world.  When the world had a chance to stop Iran, they did nothing.  Now they will murder thousands of Jews Israelis and the world will applaud their accomplishment.

This is just another failure by the Failure President:  Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama Administration Denies Mother Answers About Her Son’s Murder

Stolen From Hat Tip to Observations

Why is my son dead?

That is all Pat Smith wants to know. Her son, computer specialist Sean Smith, was one of the four Americans killed on September 11th in the terror attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. A month after she buried her son, a month after everyone all the way up to the president of the United States promised her answers, she says she is still awaiting those answers.

“That's a funny subject,” Mrs. Smith said. “I begged them to tell me what was -- what happened. I said I want to know all the details, all of the details no matter what it is, and I'll make up my own mind on it. And every one of them, all the big shots over there told me that -- they promised me, they promised me that they would tell me what happened. As soon as they figure it out.”

“No one, not one person has ever, ever gotten back to me other than media people and the gaming people,” she said. “Hillary promised me. Joe Biden -- Joe Biden -- they all told me that -- they promised me. And I told them please, tell me what happened. Just tell me what happened.”

The attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was a made-in-Washington disaster, a result of naive foreign policy consisting of apology and appeasement – projecting weakness surpassing even that of Jimmy Carter.

Every other world leader defends and promotes his country, but Barack Obama agrees with our critics and apologizes for America. His pusillanimous posture sent a message to our enemies, and they have acted on our well-advertised weakness.

And now in the face of that inglorious policy failure in Libya, Mr. Obama has retreated to doing what he does best: passing the blame. “We didn’t do that; it was that video.”

Suggesting that an anti-Muslim video that hardly anyone on Earth had seen was responsible for that attack was ridiculous on its face, and was almost immediately discredited. Still, the administration continued to blame the video for about two weeks, before finally admitting what everybody else already knew: it was a planned terrorist attack. It then shifted blame to intelligence agencies for providing the administration bad information.

But, as time passed, the tawdry details emerged, showing that the State Department under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stubbornly refused to provide additional security forces for Libya as repeatedly requested.

The leader of the military security team in Tripoli, Lt. Col. Andrew Wood of the Utah National Guard, told various TV outlets that he and other embassy officials unsuccessfully attempted to extend his team’s tour of duty in Libya because of mounting security concerns. “The security in Benghazi was a struggle and remained a struggle throughout my time there,” Colonel Wood said. “Diplomatic security remained weak.”

A former security officer, Eric Nordstrom, said he was told in a phone call in July that the deployment of a 16-member American military site security team based in Tripoli could not be prolonged, according to a report by The New York Times. Although the Africa Command that oversaw the unit was willing to extend the deployment, the State Department said “no.”

Mr. Nordstrom told a Congressional committee recently he tried to improve security by asking for 12 agents, only to be told by a State Department official that he was asking for the “sun, moon and the stars.” “It was abundantly clear: we were not going to get resources until the aftermath of an incident,” Mr. Nordstrom said. “And the question that we would ask is, again, how thin does the ice have to get before someone falls through?” We now know the answer.

Although he is still a State Department employee, Mr. Nordstrom expressed strong frustration in trying to work with the Department. “It’s not the hardships,” he said. “It’s dealing and fighting against the people, programs and personnel who are supposed to be supporting me.” And he made this revealing comment: “For me, the Taliban is on the inside of the building.”

There is no way the administration can fix this colossal, deadly screw-up, but it could at least keep its word by honoring Mrs. Smith’s loss and help give her peace in her hour of grief.

Mr. Obama should drop the cover-up and come clean with the American people. That means admitting the dramatic failure of his foreign policy, and admitting to playing petty politics to distract the public. However, accepting responsibility isn’t in the Obama Playbook, especially this close to the election.

Deeds

From the Republican Jewish Coalition



During President Obama's speech at the recent AIPAC policy conference, he said of Israel, "But as you examine my commitment, you don't just have to count on my words. You can look at my deeds."

Looking at the President's deeds regarding Israel gives supporters of a strong U.S.-Israel alliance much to be concerned about.

This web ad highlights the fact that those concerns are not just Republican concerns, but have been expressed by top Democratic leaders as well. This ad shows what Democrats are saying, in their own words, about the President's policies on Israel.

The Jewish Community Will Remember In November!!!

Saturday Morning Funnies #7

Once again a weekly dose of  cartoons, videos and jokes.

First the Messiah, now he is God.  What next?


The Bronze Rat

A tourist walked into a Chinese curio shop in San Francisco. While looking around at the exotic merchandise, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized, bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but was so incredibly striking the tourist decided he must have it. He took it to the owner and asked, “How much for the bronze rat?”

“You have chosen well!” said the shopkeeper. “It is $12 for the rat and $100 for the story.”

The tourist quickly pulled out twelve dollars. “I’ll just take the rat, you can keep the story.”

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, the tourist noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and had begun following him down the street. This was a bit disconcerting so he began walking faster.

A couple blocks later he looked behind him and saw to his horror that the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they had begun squealing.

Sweating now, the tourist trotted toward the Bay. After another couple of blocks, he again looked around – - to discover that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS and were coming toward him faster and faster.

Terrified, he ran to the edge of the Bay and threw the bronze rat as far as he could into the water.

Amazingly, the millions of rats jumped into the Bay after the bronze rat – - and were all drowned.

The tourist walked back to the curio shop in Chinatown.

“Ahhh,” said the owner, “You have come back for the story?”

“No sir,” said the man, “I came back to see if you have a bronze Democrat.”

Bye-bye Vice President Biden?

That is the speculation and prediction of Liz Peek.

Joe Biden has been a liability to the Obama Administration Regime since he was put on the ticket in 2008.  It seems the Vice President has Foot-in-Mouth Disease.  He opens his mouth and inserts his foot.  He has become an embarrassment and a political liability to this regime. Therefore he must go!

Ms. Peek predicts that Obama will cut loose Joe Biden in favor of Hillary Clinton.
Here’s a prediction: the Obama administration will bounce Joe Biden off the 2012 ticket, and invite Hillary Clinton to run in his stead.

The move will aim to bolster Obama’s standing and provide some excitement among core Democrats – something that Biden fails to provide. Hillary will agree, because just four years later she will be superbly positioned to run for president – ever the rainbow on her personal horizon.

At present, her polls are high, with 58% of voters viewing her at least somewhat favorably.

Wistful Dems who wonder these days what could have been will tout her hard work and pragmatic diplomacy as she chases one impossible Obama pipe dream after another to all corners of the globe.

Certain wishful Dems are hoping she will challenge Obama in a primary. I don’t think so. As Ted Kennedy found when he tried to pick off Jimmy Carter in 1980, even an unpopular incumbent is still an incumbent.

If the White House political team brings Clinton on board over the next year, they can remove whatever threat exists from that quarter. Meanwhile, Hillary can bide her time and husband her resources, eventually running against Obama’s legacy.

She will have better answers on health care, a subject she has studiously avoided discussing, and could adopt her husband’s centrist approach to trade and taxes to win over independents.
Up until President Eisenhower, the position of Vice President on a political ticket was easily changed.  FDR had 3 different VPs (John Nance Garner, Henry A. Wallace, and Harry S. Truman.).  So it isn't out of the question or against historical precedent.


Joe Biden was originally chosen for his experience in foreign affairs.  A skill it seems, judging from the last 2 years of this regime, neither Joe Biden or Barack Hussein Obama have or ever has aquired.

Nor has Hillary Clinton showed her great skill in foreign policy and foreign affairs in her tenure as Secretary of State.

In fact the trio remind on of the bumbling antics of the 3 Stooges.  It would be funny, but the price to our security is too high for such jokes or jokers.

I have always wondered why Joe Biden was brought onto the ticket.  He brought no electoral votes, no region of the nation to swing towards Obama, he is a bumbler, a fool at times, yet he and not Hillary was chosen to be the VP.  Could it be that the idea of President Biden is so horrible to the nation that the Congress will allow Obama to do anything to prevent that from happening?  Does Joe Biden make Obama safe from impeachment?  If so, why the change of heart?

This is all speculation and will not matter if Obama's polls continue to drop.  Who is going to vote for a President with a 20% or less approval rating?  Pretty much no one.  So regardless of who is on the ticket in 2012, as things look right now, Obama is a one-term President and should be considered a lame duck.

America's Foreign Policy Leaders!

Things To Look For In Tonight's Speech

In tonight's State of the Union speech we will hear President Obama declare himself to be a "Man Of The People" looking out for the Middle Class men and women like you and me. Just plain working Joes.


Just a plain working stiff.

How he has a plan to make America work again.  How his foreign policy is working and how to pass Health Care, Cap and Trade, and destroy the 2nd Amendment too.

What you also will see and hear is this:

The new whipping boy for the Obama Administration:




We will see an appearance of the President's closest aides. No not Axelrod and Emanuel, but this pair:



And we will see a repeat of the Pelosi Boing Dance:



Oh and the reason that the State of the Union is on a Wednesday night instead of the Tuesday night it is normally held on is because last night was the season opener of the series LOST.  A show that has more holes in the plot than Swiss Cheese, is poorly written and badly acted.  But because followers of the show raised a stink (They formed FACEBOOK group and in today's PC climate that is as powerful as marching in the streets.), the Obama Administration caved into overwhelming pressure.

I hope for many things:
  1. This to be the last season of Lost.
  2. The Democrats to lose their majority in both Houses of Congress this November.
  3. President Obama to be a one-term President.

One can only hope.

A Loony Toon Foreign Policy

Gentle Truth Seekers I could not begin to make this one up. When I first read the article that I am commenting on, I became hysterical and had to read it 5 times. I still don't believe it.

In the past the world has experienced many different theories of how foreign policy should be formulated and utilized. There was the Marxist view, trying to bring the whole world under the domination of the former Soviet Union. There was the Domino Theory, in which one nation that falls under Communism will cause the neighboring nations to fall under Communism. We experienced Teddy Roosevelt's Big Stick policy, in which he claimed, had the right not only to oppose European intervention in the Western Hemisphere, but also to intervene in the domestic affairs of our neighbors if they proved unable to maintain order and national sovereignty on their own. In essence this policy was reduced to, "We are going to intervene to prevent you from intervening." Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, which became the basis for the Treaty of Versailles following World War I. But never before has a foreign policy been based on a children's book. Until now.

I present to you Barack Hussein Obama's new foreign policy theory. Winnie the Pooh. No I'm not joking and this is not an April Fool's Joke. Richard Danzig, former Navy Secretary under President Bill Clinton said:

“Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.”

Mr Danzig spelt out the need to change by reading a paragraph from chapter one of the children’s classic, which says: “Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump on the back of his head behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming down stairs. But sometimes he thinks there really is another way if only he could stop bumping a minute and think about it.”
That's just the sort of thing I'd expect Eeyore to say. Considering the source, I can see that another Jackass is at work. Mr. Danzig I hate to inform you about this, but Winnie the Pooh is a fictional children's book. Not a text on foreign policy.

But Winnie the Pooh isn't his only source for a foreign policy. He also believes the "War on Terror" would best be fought by using Jedi Knights.

He spelt out how American troops, spies and anti-terrorist officials could learn key lessons by understanding the desire of terrorists to emulate superheroes like Luke Skywalker, and the lust for violence of violent football fans.

Mr. Danzig what you see in the movies is not real. Star Wars, while a good film, was a fictional story. I think you should stop watching movies, reading children's books and comic books. It is time to come into the real world.
He said that another lesson about terrorists can be learnt from studying violent football fans. “One of the best books I’ve read on terrorism in recent years was not about terrorism at all,” he said. “It’s Bill Buford’s book Among the Thugs, which is a description of soccer violence in Britain.
Actually I'm not using Football Thugs as a model for any foreign policy. I'm waiting for these men to finally get fed up with the Dhimmitude they are being forced into and start a real riot. Not over a football team, but over their deteriorating rights. Will you still be admiring them then?

This is just another reason why Barack Hussein Obama is unfit for the Office of President of the United States. His advisers live in another reality, far removed from the one the rest of us live in. And if his advisers feel and think this way, he too must follow this line of thought. And in this day and age makes Obama a very dangerous person to be put into the highest office of the land.

Nation of Islam activists on Obama camp payroll

Now that Barack Hussein Obama has locked up the Democratic Party nomination for President, the vote in November will come down to who will be the best man for President. Barack Hussein Obama has no experience in Foreign Policy, has a lousy record in the US Senate, has no business experience, and is all talk.

Now it has been revealed that members of the Nation of Islam are senior staffers of the Obama campaign.
The former insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed particular concern that Obama employed at least two Nation members in his early days as a state senator, when his office was staffed by only a handful of workers. "When you're a state senator you have little money given to you to hire staff. It is ironic that two of Obama's employees in those days were known Nation of Islam activists when Obama employed perhaps a total of maybe three or four staffers," said the former insider.

The former insider confirmed Obama is directly aware of the Nation of Islam members on his staff.

This isn't the first links that Barack Hussein Obama has to Islamic radicals. He has long ties to the Nation of Islam, and key advisors have had long associations with Hamas. Obama claims to never have had any association with Louis Farrakhan:

"You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of minister Farrakhan's anti-Semitic comments. I think they are unacceptable and reprehensible. I did not solicit this support," Obama said on NBC in February.

"We're not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with minister Farrakhan," Obama said.

But Obama did attend Farrakhan's Million Man March. His minister and mentor Jeremiah Wright labeled Farrakhan:

"one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century" during a national address to the media in April at which Nation of Islam officials were invited guests.

And of course, somehow, Barack Hussein Obama actually got Hamas in Gaza to solicit votes for him before each primary.




And still Barack Hussein Obama claims to be pro-Israel. But he was pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel when he was in the Illinois State Senate.



But deeds speak louder than words. And by all the deeds that have come out about Barack Hussein Obama, his links with radical Islam, endorsements by the Nation of Islam, Hamas and Hezbollah and staffers who are members of the Nation of Islam, show that he is just a liar about his views on Israel and will try to destroy the Jewish Nation the minute he would become President.

Obama: Israel is a 'constant sore'


Hat tip to Obama Nation

From WorldNetDaily

Democratic presidential front-runner Barack Obama says Israel is a "constant wound" and a "constant sore" that infects "all of our foreign policy".

Funny. I thought our foreign policy dealt with issues other than the Middle East. China has nothing to do with Israel other than the fact both countries occupy a place in Asia.

But this is another example of Barack Hussein Obama's knowledge of geography and foreign affairs. A nation that has been a loyal friend for the 60 years of its existence is to be considered a constant wound. Not a very nice thing for a friend to say of another friend. We expect nations like Iran to say such things, not candidates for the highest office in the United States say it.

"I want to solve the problem, and so my job in being a friend to Israel is partly to hold up a mirror and tell the truth and say if Israel is building settlements without any regard to the effects that this has on the peace process, then we’re going to be stuck in the same status quo that we’ve been stuck in for decades now," he said.

With a friend like him, we don't need an enema. We know that under an Obama administration Israel will be shafted. Forced to relinquishWe their right to their holy site: The Western Wall, forced to endure more missile attacks, and eventually to the cheers of his anti-Semitic preacher and church, the State of Israel will be no more. And I'm sure he would love to be part of the rape and murder that will happen to the Jews of Israel if his Hamas friends would ever get their way. I can see him licking his lips wanting to join right in.

Last week, Obama severed ties with a Middle East policy adviser who acknowledged holding private meetings with Hamas. Robert Malley, who had advocated negotiations with Hamas, was sacked after disclosing to the Times of London he had been in regular contact with the group in conjunction with his work for a conflict resolution think tank.


He wouldn't have severed ties with Robert Malley if it wasn't politically expedient to do so. I wonder what deal did Hussein Obama make with Hamas to not only get their endorsement. Did he offer Hamas the whole nation of Israel and military support from the US military to get it? It would make sense. Nobody in this world could be that naive about Hamas or their motives. Their charter was published in his own church bulletin. His own Pastor, Jeremiah Wright has praised Hamas and their actions. And still Hussein Obama still claims he knew nothing.



I'm sorry Senator, but your name isn't Sgt. Schultz and the United States is not Stalag 13 (at least not yet). Your words and ideas stem from the hatred your pastor and church has for Israel and the Jewish people. There is a name for that Senator. It is called anti-Semitism, and you suffer from it. By your words and actions, the men and women you have surrounded yourself with, the church you have attended for 20 years, and the man who mentored you the label fits.


Obama screams for Change. And in your idea of foreign policy we can see what change you want. And it stinks to Heaven.

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!

Lebanon is now in Hezbollah Hands.

This is a follow up to yesterday's post.

Yesterday I posted Has Hezbollah Bitten Off More Than it Can Chew. In it I laid out the infamous history of terror Hezbollah has and an analysis of what might be. Today I will expand on that analysis and the possible outcomes of the events unfolding in Lebanon will bring.

Yesterday fighting broke out in Beirut. Hezbollah started taking over Sunni neighborhoods and closed the airport off. Today Hezbollah controls 1/2 of Beirut. Although they are handing the neighborhoods they control over to the Lebanese Army, make no doubt that they are in charge.

And what is the Lebanese Army doing? Nothing! They stand by and watch their nation becoming an Iranian puppet. Are their officers afraid that if they try to stop Hezbollah when the takeover is complete they will be taken out and shot? Yes. For that is the modus operandi of terror groups when they conquer a nation. So they sit back and watch, praying for a miracle, but doing nothing to stop the violence.

Middle East analysts are shaking their heads and wondering how did this happen? It is very simple, the UN allowed it to happen. The UN knew that Iran was suppling arms to Hezbollah, it told its peacekeepers to look the other way. UNIFIL kept finding Hezbollah arms and did nothing to stop the flow.



Armed Hezbollah militants warded off members of the United one Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) last month when the peacekeepers discovered a truck carrying weapons and ammunition belonging to the Lebanon-based guerrilla group.


Just one of many times they failed. But this was to be expected when UN Security Council Resolution 1701 was passed. It called for a cease-fire, but also for the disarming of Hezbollah.

1. Calls for a full cessation of hostilities based upon, in particular, the immediate cessation by Hezbollah of all attacks and the immediate cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations;

2. Upon full cessation of hostilities, calls upon the Government of Lebanon and UNIFIL as authorized by paragraph 11 to deploy their forces together throughout the South and calls upon the Government of Israel, as that deployment begins, to withdraw all of its forces from southern Lebanon in parallel;

15. Decides further that all States shall take the necessary measures to prevent, by their nationals or from their territories or using their flag vessels or aircraft:

(a) The sale or supply to any entity or individual in Lebanon of arms and related materiel of all types, including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, paramilitary equipment, and spare parts for the aforementioned, whether or not originating in their territories; and

(b) The provision to any entity or individual in Lebanon of any technical training or assistance related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of the items listed in subparagraph (a) above; except that these prohibitions shall not apply to arms, related material, training or assistance authorized by the Government of Lebanon or by UNIFIL as authorized in paragraph 11;



Funny that Israel complied but Hezbollah did not. Nor did Syria, Iran and others. But who got the blame for violations? Israel. Again the Tower of Babel shows its bias against Israel and applauds the actions of terrorists.

So Hezbollah has rearmed and is stronger than before.

Israel Radio has just reported that Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Saniora will resign tonight. The report comes from two television stations, NBN and an Iranian station. In return, Hezbullah will withdraw its forces.

There, Hezbollah has gotten what it wanted. The collapse of the Lebanese government and has set the stage for its takeover.


Will Hezbollah then attack Israel? Not right away. It take time to take over an army. And make no doubt they will take over all command of the Lebanese Army. They will first infiltrate (if they haven't already done so) key units (
Commando, Mechanized, Armored, Special Forces) then either by placing their own people in command, or by assassination, they will overcome the rest. This takes time. Then they will attack.

But can Israel withstand an attack from Lebanon? Let us look at the current strength of the Lebanese Army. These are rough estimates:

  • 304 Tanks
  • 1591 Light and Heavy Armored Vehicles
  • 161 Artillery
  • 51 Helicopters
Plus whatever can be brought in from Syria and Iran openly. In 6 months Lebanon can have a formidable military machine with "volunteers" from Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Thus added to the threat.

Now lets us turn our heads at Israel. For the last few years Israel has an ineffective and weak government. Olmert's government is riddled with scandal and abuse. He himself is under investigation and will be gone soon. Tzipi Livni will step in and try to keep the collation together. She will fail and new election will be held. The nation will hold its breath, but I believe that Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu will return as Prime Minister. Thus return Israel to a position of strength.

The 2007 Winograd Commission sent the IDF a clear message. Clean up your act! And the IDF went into action. They went back into training. Today's IDF is a much different than the one Hezbollah fought in 2006.

So what will be holding Hezbollah back from attacking before a new government in Israel is formed. Two words: United States. They are waiting to see what will happen in the November elections. Right now Israel has a very strong friend in the Security Council. One who will rearm her and
support her actions. But that may not be the case in the future. Military planners have different scenarios for various events, I give you just one of these scenarios.

The United States Invades Israel


This isn't science fiction, it is an actual scenario that US military planners have worked on. The background of above is the basis of it.

On January 20, 2009 Barak Hussein Obama is sworn in a President of the United States. His Middle East advisors are all from the Carter era including Zbigniew Brzezinski and Samantha Power. They start a very pro-Arab, anti-Israel foreign policy starting with the cutting of aid to Israel.

In the summer of 2009 (it can be no earlier than this due to the weather), Hezbollah and Hamas step up attacks on Israel. Israel mobilizes. Hezbollah then instigates another war (kidnapping of a soldier for instance). Israel attacks Lebanon. Hamas tries a breakout of Gaza (like the one the did in Egypt), Israel finally attacks in full.


Muslims take to the streets of all major European and US cities, screaming for a cease-fire, for the UN to condemn Israel. The UN Security Council passes a resolution condemning Israel but not Hezbollah and Hamas. The US does not veto this or any other resolution. Israel ignores the UN for once.

Iran gets into the act and launches Nuclear attacks on one or more of Israel's cities. As her cities burn the IAF retaliates and launches their own Nuclear weapons against Iran. Instead of condemning Iran for lying about its nukes, they fully condemn Israel and a multi-national military force is formed to invade Israel. The US takes the lead and orders its Navy to launch its fighters against Israel. The US Army sends 150,000 troops to invade.

Israel is not Iraq. 3/4 of the population of Israel is fully trained in military combat. Many are reservists and veterans of Israel's many wars. The invasion will not be the cakewalk that Iraq was. On the first day the US loses 2/3 of its fighter jets and has loses of 30% of its invasion force. Trying to take a kibbutz, a village, a town will be a slow and tedious job. If you think the insurgency in Iraq is bad, think what type of insurgency there will be in Israel. The Israelis will not give up any square meter of ground without a fight. Every man, woman and child would be fighting. They are fighting for their lives. The only places where Americans would be welcomed would be in Muslim towns and villages. After a week American loses would be in the tens of thousands and Israeli loses in the hundred of thousands. And still, the Israelis would not surrender.

If you think that this is an impossible scenario, think again. US military planners have played this out for years. They add the following to the scenario:

The rounding up of all members of the Jewish faith and the subsequence interment of them. How easy would it be to go from interment to death chambers?

When Did the Lunatics Take Over the Asylum?

I've been sitting in front of this screen all day today trying to figure out what to write. I check the news, read blogs, even play some World of Warcraft to clear my mind and compose a post for today. And as I scanned the headlines, it hit me.

The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum.


Why is it that a man who has associated with known terrorists, anti-Semites, and the ultra-far left is a major party's first choice for President? Why is it that a man with absolutely no foreign policy experience is considered an expert in foreign affairs because he once lived in
Indonesia as a child? I have met many people, children of military personal (they are known as Military Brats) who have lived in many places overseas. Do these people claim to be foreign policy experts because they once lived overseas as a child? No. They gained a knowledge of the nation that they were living in.

Many Presidents we have had in the past have had no or little foreign policy experience. Harry Truman was one. His sole experience in any foreign policy before he became a Senator was as a Captain in the US Army during WW 1. A man who memorized the eye chart so he could serve his nation. But the one thing that President Truman did do was surround himself with people who did have knowledge. Not just in foreign policy, but in many other fields.

Barak Hussein Obama has also surrounded himself with experts. Let us look at just one of these experts:
Joseph Cirincione, director of nuclear policy at the Center for American Progress. A man so far to the left that amongst his friends is Sean Penn. A man who called Damascus' nuclear program minuscule. And who now calls for Israel to give up all her Nukes. Just like the rest of his foreign policy advisors. All the old crowd from Dhimmy Carter. People like Zbigniew Brzezinski. Remember him. The one who told Carter not to support the Shah of Iran (at the time one of the strongest and most loyal allies to the United States) and to applaud the new Iranian regime. You know, the one that Ayatollah Khomeini led. The one that invaded the United States Embassy and took 52 American citizens hostage for 444 days. The same Brzezinski that led a delegation to Syria recently. I wonder what he told the Syrians that Hussein Obama would do for them once he became President. What promises did he give them? What secret deals did he make?
But that isn't all that makes me think that the Lunatics are out. There is dear Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. That paragon of Christian love and virtue. From his
God Damn America sermon to his multi-million dollar mansion that he is building, he is the epitome of the Black Church in America! One could excuse his pretended ignorance of Wright's views if he was a back pew sitter, sitting in the church to score brownie points with voters. But no. This was a man who was his mentor, his pastor, who married him and baptized his children. Hussein was no back pew sitter. He was in the front row, screaming Amen every time Wright condemned the government for the evils that plague the black community. But Hussein is a politician. First he give a major civil rights speech in which he throws his white grandmother under the bus. The voters in Pennsylvania didn't buy it. He lost a state with a large black population. Knowing he was in trouble, and not being able to muzzle Wright, he then threw Wright under the bus. So much for mentoring him and being his spiritual adviser. I need the votes!

The United States has had many great First Ladies. Eleanor Roosevelt who became the First Lady to the World with her work in behalf of those less fortunate than herself. Jackie Kennedy who led the nation in style, and grace. Nancy Reagan who brought dignity back into the position after the disaster of Carter. But what type of First Lady would Michelle Obama be. A woman who was never proud of her country.







If she didn't like living here why didn't she move to somewhere else, like Saudi Arabia. There she could be a proud woman.

The media has given Barack HUSSEIN Obama a free ride. The one time it didn't was in the debate before the Pennsylvania primary. Expecting the easy questions that he had pat answers for, he was asked the harder, character questions. And Hussein looked like a deer in the headlights. So now he will have no more debates.

Knowing all these things, do the voters of the Democratic party give him the boot and tell him we don't want a man with this ba
ckground? No. They swoon at his speeches and praise him. If Hussein was a white man, and had these views, would the media, the Democratic Party, the nation have accepted it? NO THEY WOULDN'T!!!! They would have distanced themselves from him and condemned him to the neither regions. But because Hussein is black, he gets a free pass.

And that is why I feel that the Lunatics have taken over the Asylum!
