Obama Ends Funding For Iranian Human-Rights Watch
In another sad ass act of capitulation to our enemies, President Obama has cut funding for the Iranian Human Rights Watch — at exactly the time when human rights are being publicly violated in Iran. Nice job.
Israel Needs To Bomb Iran
Former UN Ambassador John Bolton wrote an excellent piece in the (pay 2 play) Washington Post yesterday suggesting it was time for Israel to strike Iran.
As usual, Bolton is right. I came to realize the moment Obama was elected what his real game plan for Iran was.
As Ace masterfully points out this morning, Obama is attempting to buy time much like the mad Mullahs are.
Obama never had any intention of stopping Iran from developing nukes regardless of his rhetoric. He’s simply trying to put off what he sees as the inevitability of Iran’s weapons program.
Like Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama has the mindset of an appeaser.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that president Obama will under no circumstances go to war with Iran. It’s not going to happen and was never going to happen.
The question is whether or not Israel will decide to buck the USA and go it alone against Iran. There’s no doubt a nuclear armed Iran is a threat to the entire world, but for Israel it’s a nightmare.
President Ahmadinejad’s hatred of Jews is comparable only to that of Hitler. He would take great pleasure in annihilating Israel, even if it meant certain destruction of his own country.
My hope is that Israel is merely waiting as long as possible to attack Iran so as to allow Obama to save face at home. In other words, allow Obama to play his Kabuki theater of “vigorous diplomacy” for as long as possible.
Israel should remember that president Obama is only the president for a little while, but a nuclear armed Iran is forever.
IAEA: Iran Increasing Stockpile Of Uranium
A new IAEA report out today says that Iran is rapidly increasing its stockpile of uranium which could be enriched into weapons grade material at any time.
But it gets worse:
The agency says that, as of this month, Tehran had amassed 630kg of low enriched uranium hexafluoride, up from 480kg in late August. Analysts say Iran is enriching uranium at such a pace that, by early next year, it could reach break-out capacity – one step away from producing enough fissile material for a crude nuclear bomb.
“They are moving forward, they are not making diplomatic overtures, they are accumulating low enriched uranium,” said Cliff Kupchan, an analyst at the Eurasia Group, a risk consultancy in Washington. “These guys are committed to their nuclear programme: if we didn’t know that, they just told us again.”
Obama’s first real test as president will be how he handles the Iran nuclear situation. I’m hoping he realizes that Ahmadinejad is not going to give up his weapons program just because he sits across the table from him and yuks it up.
The Iranian regime is not rational and the only thing that is going to stop them besides going to war — is continuing economic pressure from the world community. Britain, France, and our other allies have all expressed concern that Obama is going to muck things up and unilaterally meet with the dictator.
Hopefully, Obama’s campaign promises to meet without preconditions was only rhetoric — but we shall see.
Biden To Israel: You’ll Have To Accept A Nuclear Iran
Here’s a story that should raise eyebrows among those who support Israel, and oddly enough also support Barack Obama. According to Haaretz, Joe Biden told Israeli officials behind closed doors they’re going to have to reconcile themselves with a nuclear Iran if Barack wins the election.
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden was quoted Monday as telling senior Israeli officials behind closed doors that the Jewish state will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran.
In the unsourced report, Army Radio also quoted Biden as saying that he opposed “opening a additional military and diplomatic front.”
Army Radio said Israeli officials expressed “amazement” over the remarks attributed to him.
“Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran,” Army Radio quoted Biden as telling the unnamed officials.
“It’s doubtful if the economic sanctions will be effective, and I am against opening an additional military and diplomatic front.”
The paper goes on to to revisit Sen. Biden’s public comments last year regarding the Jewish State. He told Shalom TV that he was a Zionist even if he wasn’t a Jew, and that Israel was America’s single greatest ally in the Middle East, etc.
Apparently in an Obama/Biden administration Israel will be a ‘good friend’ — at least long enough to get the Jewish vote.
This will come as a complete shock to many people, but I’m not surprised in the least. Its always amazed me that Jewish Americans tend to vote for Democrats when the Democrats don’t give a rip about Israel. President Bush has been the most pro-Israel President in American history — and rightfully so.
The Democrats would love to cut off military aide to Israel and leave them to fend for themselves, but in order to get elected they pretend to be passionate about supporting Israel. The reality is actually quite different. Most Democrats really view Israel as being more trouble than it’s worth. Many believe that most of America’s problems around the world are a direct result of our friendship with Israel.
While it may be true that some don’t like our close ties with Israel, Republicans could care less about how other countries feel about it. The GOP passionately supports Israel and would do anything to ensure that the Jewish State lives on.
I think the main reason that a lot of Jews vote against there interests by voting for Democrats is because they’ve never been to Israel. American Jews especially the Hollywood types have no idea the horrors that many Israeli families experience at the hands of radical Muslims. They don’t fully grasp the kind of insane bombings and murder that takes place in otherwise quite Jewish neighborhoods by these Islamic thugs.
Conservatives get that about the Jewish people. They understand the threat of Islamic terrorism and radical Islam. They understand what kind of threat a nuclear Iran poses not only to the security of Israel, but to the entire world.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden just don’t get it. They will never be the terror warriors and defenders of Israel that a John McCain/Sarah Palin administration would be.
