Obama Risks It All, Including The World, For Re-Election

Bush gets blamed again! And, according to Obama, once again he had to clean up the mess!! Poor baby.

Israel:Stuxnet Is Our Baby – Obama Disclosed It For Reelection Campaign

A group of Mossad agents speaking with Haaretz’s Yossi Melman on condition of anonymity have said that the Mossad – and not the Bush administration – developed Stuxnet, and that President Obama is now trying to take credit for it in a bid to help his reelection campaign (Hat Tip: MFS – The Other News via Atlantic Wire). Please recall the David Sanger piece in the New York Times about Stuxnet, which I blogged last week, which claimed that the Bush administration had begun developing Stuxnet, that President Obama had ordered it accelerated, and that Israel had only joined in later. Now, look at what Melman has to say about it.

The Israeli officials actually told me a different version. They said that it was Israeli intelligence that began, a few years earlier, a cyberspace campaign to damage and slow down Iran’s nuclear intentions. And only later they managed to convince the USA to consider a joint operation — which, at the time, was unheard of. Even friendly nations are hesitant to share their technological and intelligence resources against a common enemy.

Risk our national security? Risk Israel? Risk a regional war?  Why not? It's all worth it to get reelected as President of the United States and with all the chaos that president and his big government would just have to gain more power to keep us all safe.

Oh, and Obama is just getting started: John McCain told CNN today the Obama Administration is behind the security leaks.

I Am So Sick Of This Cowboy President

'As President of the United States, I Don't Bluff'

Frankly, I’m sick of this cowboy president who struts his testosterone with statements like, “I don’t bluff.” Hell, when you’ve got a standing army and secret service guys protecting you it’s easy being a loudmouth. He gets a thrill out killing people, shooting missiles and drones and acting like a war criminal. He keeps possibly innocent people in an illegal prison at Guantanamo, targets peaceful mosques with belligerent acts and then tries to hide behind his lawyers. He has all of his rich pals to give him money and special deals to make him even richer as his wife lords over the White House like some queen. And then they go to hang out with their elite friends in their fancy resort houses eating and drinking like royalty and forget how much people are hurting. I’m so damned tired of Bush and his cronies I could puke. Oh, wait…

Libya: Who Didn't Know What And When Didn't They Know It

Dominoes. Arab world. Why Libya?

Hope and change is happening all over the Arab world and we appear not to have a clue. So what did we not know and when did we not know it?

Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, and on and on to Libya. It is so easy to ridicule Obama and the left about past statements, insults and accusations demeaning the efforts and goals of the Bush Administration. It's too easy because they spouted off for political reasons which threw reason out the window. The larger question, and more important question, is whether this administration is even aware of what it is doing at the most basic level.

People here cheered for Tunisia and Egypt. They had no idea who was behind the unrest nor did they have a clue about who was pulling the strings of the youthful protesters even as the protesters themselves had no clue. many Republicans were part of the hosanna chorus which is disconcerting, because cheering for uprisings just because on side is ugly doesn't make sense if both sides are ugly and evil. Nobody knew squat about these things and it appears they still don't.

The Law of Unintended Consequences is in full force here,  "Any intervention in a complex system may or may not have the intended result, but will inevitably create unanticipated and often undesirable outcomes".


There are tragedies occurring all over the world at the moment. Look at just about any African region and one will see slaughter, starvation and war. South East Asia is an abattoir at many levels. The degeneration of life itself continues unnoticed in China and Russia. The Middle East is a disaster just waiting to get worse, but we decide to add Libya to our list of wars.


I believe our interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan made good sense on many levels, but most importantly geopolitical reasons including the potential of a two front assault if Iran, the bat crap crazy in the neighborhood, decided to flex its muscle. Is there some parallel with Egypt, Israel and Libya or is the Obama Administration just desperate to contain Mali?


If, as reported, Obama only wants a war with Libya be quick as to not interfere with basketball and that some mean old women bullied him into this war, who the hell is in charge. Who is doing the big picture thinking here?


That this administration in incompetent is obvious, but so far they've contained their incompetence to mainly destroying us. Now they want to risk the lives of our armed forces in igniting an explosion of war(s) that could plant the seeds of our own destruction. This type of incompetence is beyond the comprehension of man. It is of a type that only rookies who think they're professionals are capable of embarking upon.


Libya? Really? With France in the lead? What could go wrong with that...


It is so obvious that this administration is merely reacting to events both domestic and foreign and the real thought about Libya should not be about their hypocrisy concerning Bush and Obama, that's shooting fish in a barrel, it should be exactly who didn't know what and when didn't they know it. 


It won't resolve anything, but it may help us to never make such a stupendous mistake in the future.

Mr. Hope & Change Gets Into War #3

Yep, Obama was going to buy the world a Coke and live in perfect harmony. Unfortunately, he now has us involved in Northern Africa right next to Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood who are allowing Iranian Special Forces to use their country to get into Libya. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Especially when it appears he is doing the bidding of Islamofascists.

Question: Wasn't Obama the one who said we had no business getting involved in Iraq because they were no direct threat to our national security?

Yeah, Obama said Afghanistan was the war we should be in to capture Osama. To that end, Obama has hindered our forces fighting there, pissed off the country's leadership and sowed distrust about our true commitment. Oh, he hasn't even gotten close to Osama either.

What a Commander in Chief we have. He can't handle governing at home. He can't be competent in foreign policy. He can't deal with the other two wars we're in. Now he's getting involved in War #3.

At least Obama is plagiarizing better people now.

Americans Should Wish Iranians A Happy Valentine's Day!

Just to show the love we have for Chairman Short and his band of merry mullahs we should all send cards, roses or emails to Iranians.

Iran bans production of Valentine's Day gifts...

Nothing says love to an Iranian like the color red.

How Weak Has Obama Actually Made America? Very Weak.

Iran has joined the Gaza blockade flotilla. Will North Korea be next. Who else? A coalition of weak nations become strong through their alliance and Obama, as usual, is clueless.

Gaza blockade: Iran offers escort to next aid convoy

How stupid and incompetent can a Harvard boy from Chicago be? It appears, very stupid. As a nation, voters, we should hire training wheels and a nanny for this poseur to make sure he doesn't stub his toe going to his next extravigancia involving a tent and the White House. He may endanger himself as well as America. It is America that I am worried about. I have given up on caring about him.

Turn Iran into a parking lot. Paving to nonunion companies. Union leader wouldn't want to get too far from their table at the Monocle.

Obama is, quite frankly, not up to the job. Obviously.

Under Obama's Tutelage Iraq And The Middle East Spiral Back Into Brutality And Fear

What scared the left in America and terrorists worldwide was the success of Democracy in Iraq. Those in the Middle East who are pro-democracy are in a state of disbelief. How could something as hopeful as freedom be dashed by one man so fast, even by a man they supported. Obama has abandoned the promises he made in Egypt to Arabs about democracy and freedom, he has in fact thrown those who believed him overboard to be left on their own after believing the promises of support from American presidents.

Anti-Qaeda Sunni imams slaughtered in Iraq: military
Two Sunni Arab imams were brutally killed on Monday in Iraq, including one who was decapitated and had his head planted on a power pole, in attacks blamed on Al-Qaeda, military officials said.

The slayings in the province of Diyala, northeast of Baghdad, were against anti-Qaeda preachers who regularly railed against the terror network during Friday sermons.

Obama campaigned with a theme that he would bring respect back foreign respect of America. He would make America stand for something good, not evil and bad as the previous administration had done. That Obama created this love deficit out of whole cloth is beside the point. What is the point is that he has made America a country not to be believed by those that want to break the chains of history while maintaining the status quo of dictators, fanatics and self appointed power thugs.

Alas, it is the same strategy he is employing here. Not just broken promises, but promises made that were never intended to do anything more than sound good enough to fool some of the people for some of the time. Time enough to accomplish his hope and change which have little or nothing to do with the hope and change of the people.

Bin Laden is in DC!

Osama Bin Laden Not in Iran, More Likely in D.C.

He'd fit right in. How much better could he hide than amongst arrogant politicians with Napoleonic complexes bent on ramming down our throats policy that we don't want and increasingly call for civil penalties for voicing opposition? Hell, he may be leading Congress.

How Stupid And Useless Is The United Nations?

So much so that it is impossible to measure. The UN is actually harmful to the planet and its inhabitants.

U.N. Elects Iran to Commission on Women's Rights

Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged "immodest."

An indication of just how bad the UN is might be their decision to award to James Earl Carter (D-Prez-Worst) its first Human Rights Prize. Another indicator might be any place in Africa that the UN stepped in to help. Oh, just pick any decision they've made. The UN is a carnival of corruptocrats.

Of Lesser Importance To Obama, Russia Helps Iran Go Nuclear

Remember when Obama was going to make America popular again and work closely with other nations to repair our international image and bring sweet peace to all?

Putin just gave Obama the finger.

Putin vexes US over Iran nuclear power

Vladimir Putin, Russia’s prime minister, promised on Thursday that Moscow would help Iran complete a civil nuclear power station by this summer, drawing criticism from Hillary Clinton, US secretary of state.

His remarks highlighted the continuing differences between the two powers over how to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Mrs Clinton was visiting Moscow on a trip partly designed to increase the pressure on Tehran by showing America’s unity with Russia.


But Mr Putin told a meeting held in Volgodonsk, southern Russia, that work to complete the Bushehr plant on Iran’s Gulf coast would soon be complete. “The first block of the Iranian atomic power station must be launched this summer,” he said.

Ahmadinejad Can Kiss Our Collective Ass

I'm in a foul a mood as possible tonight and though I don't suffer fools generally, tonight they piss me off.

Ahmadinejad Cries Like A Baby and Wants Reparations For Nothing Except Wussy Rights For Victim Hood

Hey Chairman Shortness and Limited Brain Power, your country should have been turned into a parking lot centuries ago.

Shut up you little twit. Nobody cares what you think and nobody cares about your revolution except when you become a bigger thorn in the body good. Then your country will become a parking lot at $5.00 a day long term and so far away from anything important that it will take a space ship to get somewhere in under a day.

Irani Chairman Short Goes All Jihadi On Internet

Continuing on the path of holy devotion to God through bigotry, lies, hate and nuclear bullying, Iran now wants to go all jihadi on the Internet.

Iran forms unit to go after opposition on Internet

Iran has formed a special unit to monitor Web sites and fight Internet crimes, in a clear attack on an opposition that relies almost exclusively on online means to broadcast its message, local newspapers reported Saturday.

Police Col. Mehrdad Omidi, who heads the Internet crime unit, said the committee will fight "insults and the spreading of lies," terms widely used by the judiciary to describe opposition activities.

Insults and lies, umm. So, they're going to get in a fight with themselves? Good, maybe they'll knock themselves out.

Lies, indeed, and insults? They insult their God, Muslims worldwide and all other sane and rational people everywhere.

Obama Must Succeed In Afghanistan Because He Refuses To In Iraq

Obama cannot further succeed in Iraq because that would prove George W. Bush right. That's a given. If Obama proves Bush right, then what is left of the shreds of his base will simply disappear into the chimera covering the door named disappointment.

So, what is Obama going to do in Afghanistan and the region?

Well, he quietly added 13,000 support troops to the 21,000 he approved in March for service in Afghanistan. His generals want an additional 40,000, but Obama is fiddling for his "base" and for the morons that make up the leadership in congress. Add into the mix a bureaucracy that permeates everything from food servers, elevator operators that operate computerized elevators and all the way up to analyzers and the leadership of our covert operations. One is left with a president worse off than Bush because the bureaucracy openly hated of Bush, but cannot do so with Obama. That bureaucracy has become the true decision maker in our government, not the elected officials that we vote for and who doesn't listen to us anyway, but in a different way that the bureaucracy doesn't have to listen.

Obama needs to show he has some vision, any vision beyond community organizing, concerning Afghanistan and terrorism or he will fall to more ridicule than the ghost of Alphie "TNT" Nobel.

I have a nominal idea of what has to occur in Afghanistan, in fact I believe I'm right, but my phone ain't ringin' so I'm assuming it ain't him. So, from afar and in fly-over country I will offer this.

Why not win?

The United States helped the Mujaheddin to win over the Russians, but squandered that victory by no follow through allowing crude forces to tame the vacuum left over and then pacify the citizens of Afghanistan by allowing simple goods to be delivered and sold so people could feed their families. Napoleon. Food. A chance of victory.

Now, the U.S. military appears to be going through phase II of the late Mr. Johnson's war which allows bureaucrats and Obama to direct the effort in Afghanistan from thousands of miles away through the prism of political needs, not military necessities.

If the military asks for 40,000 more troops, why doesn't Obama ask back, why not 60,000? If 40,000 is good, why isn't 60,000 better? What will it take to militarily defeat the Taliban and to bring the Afghani citizens into the effort of helping us bring stability to the country and to some degree, the region.

Most Americans don't know, and don't know whether to care, that Afghanistan and Iraq are just the advertised disaster specials for upcoming stories that are are designed to drive fairly inconsequential political desires here in the United States. Inconsequential when compared to having limbs cut off, wives and daughters raped or killed and villages enslaved to ideologies they don't want or understand. I'm not sure if a cash for clunkers program was considered a necessity in Afghanistan, but I do know feeding a still alive family is a necessity for what's left of the adults in Afghanistan. New cars, not so much.

How inconsequential is Iran or the Chinese military buildup on a nuclear India's northern border? What could be the consequences of a blundering bully from Russia trying to resurrect its once not so-greatness in the region by clumsily stomping throughout? Is it consequential that SoS Clinton appeared to recap the nuclear genie in Pakistan or has she really put those weapons out of the reach of terrorists? How resolved are we to following and resolving these threads that do not fit the narrative that this president got elected on?

Does Obama understand that resolve is a value that transcends language?

One can say what they will of Israel, but Israel's resolve has impressed even their enemies. The United States enjoys no such respect. Once again, looking back to the late Mr. Johnson's war in Vietnam, the United States offered no and gave no follow through to the Republic of Vietnam's government. We left them holding the ball, hence, all of Vietnam is now communist and a model used to ridicule and defeat the United States in other theaters. Mr. Nixon's pinpointing of priorities in southeast Asia was a poor as Mr. Johnson's bombing target lists were in Vietnam. No resolve.

Our current lack of resolve in eastern Europe is squandering historic gains for freedom in the region made by past presidents, ergo the world. Poland wouldn't believe Obama if he said 'good morning' and they'd be right to believe as such. I'm hoping Obama understands the difference between resolve and back stabbing, but I wouldn't believe him if he said he did. Maybe Obama would get a better feel for the political reality outside the United States if Axlerod or someone would inform him that eating a Chicago Polish sausage is not an education in the needs and trust of the Polish nation. And sauerkraut on the wiener is not evidence of advanced thinking on such a situation.

We're in Afghanistan and Iraq for a long time.

The need to win militarily so we can win, thus stabilize, the hearts of Afghanistan to a truly safe and free Afghanistan is a long term necessity. It is a necessity to the emergence of freedom across the world, thus the spreading of peace, and it is a necessity to prove to potential allies that the United States can be trusted in the short and long term. Resolve in Afghanistan means not just winning militarily and then building roads, schools and hospitals, but resolve also means protecting Afghanis from a re-emergence of a Taliban by any other name and by bringing as many Afghans, as possible, into our current century of knowledge and the free flow of information.

What Obama is going to do in Afghanistan is unknown and that scares the hell of of me. It should scare you too. I know it scares the people of Afghanistan.

Obama Not Reconciled With Iran Having Nuclear Weapons? Huh?

Reconciled? Is this guy for real? I know, he's joshing us, playing crazy like a fox or something. Right?

Obama might be able to live with the Mad Mullahs having a tool called nuclear weapons to punish infidels. Like when Allah drops by to tell them big guy?

Personally, I have my doubts about the validity of BO's inner most feelings along the lines of my children having a decent future. Exploding nukes may jepordize that Barack buddy. You know?

Which Position Is Obama Posing As?
President Barack Obama says he is "not reconciled" to the idea of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon within a year.
...

Obama also said Thursday that opposing a nuclear weapons capacity for the Persian Gulf nation isn't simply "a U.S. position." He said "the biggest concern is not simply that Iran can threaten us or our allies, like Israel or its neighbors."

BUT, then there is:

The president said that Iran must not be a nuclear power, although he conceded that the challenge ahead is formidable.

This is like Spy VS Spy, but in one man's head. The ying and yang of indecision and each one is holding a bomb, but pointed inward and not at our enemies.

We're in some very deep doo-doo in a swamp called naivete

Well, Obama Believes It

Jimmy Carter told him to.

Iran says partial recount shows election valid...

And Jimmy knows all about Iran. And elections. In fact, Jimma is really good with elections just like he is with economics.

Obama Grilling Out With The Butchers

Hot Dog Diplomacy: Obama Says It's Up to Iranians to Accept July 4 ...

Maybe Obama can invite Kim Jong Il over for Memorial Day and Putin on Thanksgiving to pray thanks for our freedoms.

There's always Easter for Hu Jintao and they can share an ice cream as they chat about China not sinking our currency.

How about Mother's Day for bin Laden? That would have a warm open glow about it. Sharing a Hell Burger might be appropriate as they share thoughts of motherhood and the American family.

I hope the hot dogs are all beef.

Ahmadinejad: Chairman Short Of The Butchers

Via Gateway Pundit:

CRACKDOWN IN BAHARESTAN SQUARE!... 3 People Shot-- Police Will Not Allow Protesters to Assist Them ...Update: 1 Woman Dead ...Update: Several Dead

I am of the belief that Obama may have placed too much confidence in one's ability to chat amicably with one's enemies and obtain favorable results.

Presidents Abedinejad & Obama Will Just Have A Nice Chat

As usual The Washington Post poses Iran's plans for nuclear weapons as a domestic concern that can be rationally chatted about by the big O and Chairman Short.

Obama says Iran's energy concerns legitimate
President Barack Obama suggested that Iran may have some right to nuclear energy _ provided it proves by the end of the year that its aspirations are peaceful.

Obama then went on to caution us that our values are different from Iran's values. Who knew?

Obama added that there is a danger "when the United States, or any country, thinks that we can simply impose these values on another country with a different history and a different culture."

Different? I'd say so. We don't reward murders wielding long knives for the decapitation of infidels and rapists plying their trade with family, friends and neighbors with a promise of 72 virgins for eternity. Mix in nuclear weapons and their intended use by Iran and those differences become more clear. To us. Not so much with the Obama Administration.

March 16, 1988 Chemical Warfare on Kurds By Saddam Hussein

Kurds Mark 20th Anniversary of Deadly Gas Attack
When the bombs struck, many residents, believing they were conventional explosives, ran to their basements, but could not escape the gas. Survivors later said that some victims died immediately, while others, gasping for breath and vomiting, took longer.

For several years after the attacks, Halabja, a village of unpaved streets and old stone buildings, was abandoned. Survivors suffered health problems that included sterility, breathing problems and children born with deformities.
