North Korea Thumbs Nose At US (Again)

The World Still Hates Us - Obama vowed that if he was elected president the "world would love us again." Those weren't his exact words but he made it clear that it was Bush's and other Republican administration's policies that turned much of the world against us. He made apologizing for America's "imperialistic"past the center piece of his overseas addresses to foreign governments. He has also made it clear that there will be no more anti-Muslim rhetoric coming from the White House while he's in charge.

Unfortunately, much of the world has never loved us to begin with. And North Korea is close to the top of the list and showed it with their latest "take this America" missile launches and saber rattling. Osama Bin Laden aka Osama Bin Hidden was quick to release an "up yours America" video immediately following "we love Muslims" speech by Obama. This must have troubled the Messiah greatly after extending a hand of friendship to the terrorists while quoting from the Koran.

BTW I thought Obama was going to hunt down Osama and kill him during the first 100 days of his administration. That would explain why Osama is upset with Obama.

His peace overtures to Hamas, Hezbollah and the thugs in Iran, at Israel's expense, didn't get the response he wanted. Iran's little Hitler Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still wants to wipe Israel off the map and is charging ahead with his nuclear weapons program. In a surprise move Secretary of State Hillary Clinton actually started screeching that the US would retaliate with military force if Iran launched a nuclear missile attack on Israel. I guess she cleared that with the Messiah first. Anyhow, at the very least she deserves an "atta girl" for putting the little rat on notice.

In the end if anything is done about Iran's nuclear sites it will probably be up to Israel to take them out. In June, 1981, Israeli fighter jets took out nuclear sites in Iraq. In 2007 they knocked out nuclear sites in Syria being built by North Korea. Israel doesn't appeal to the United Nations or rely on diplomatic rhetoric when it comes to defending their country and its citizens. They kick butt big time. Way to go Israel.

Gen. MacArthur tried to tell President Harry Truman that there was no "substitute for victory" during the Korean War 1950-53, but Truman fired him anyway for insisting on winning the war. President Reagen pointed out that the Korean War was our first no win war. Where it was okay to fight and die but not win because it might start a bigger war. In the end we cut and run and left a bunch of North Korean armed, communist thugs in charge above the 38th Parallel. In Vietnam we just cut and run and sold out South Vietnam to another bunch of armed, communist thugs who are now running the entire country.

Today North Korea is ruled by Kim Jong-il, a pint-sized dictator, who is threatening to nuke everyone. Despite the fact that his people are practically starving to death, he continues to pursue his nuclear weapons program and maintain one of the largest standing armies in the world. North Korea's military, at last count, numbered over 1.2 million strong compared to South Korea's 680,000. There are over 30,000 US military personnel stationed in South Korea prepared to backup the South Korean military from an attack by the North.

North Korea has learned by now that the United Nations is a totally worthless and incompetent organization. The US has threatened sanctions and blockades and hints at military action over the years but much of it was mostly bluffs. And Kim Jong-il knows it. He also knows that he can probably get away with a lot more now that Obama is president.

Obama called North Korea's latest missile launch "provocative" and pledged to take action at a UN Security Council meeting. In other words the US will do nothing but make another "complaint" to the worthless, anti-America UN. A move that must have really scared the hell out of North Korea.

Hillary also lost her screeching voice and threats to retaliate over the incident and "discussed" it with her Japanese counterpart Foreign Minister Hirofumi. Make that "let's do nothing." Hillary and Obama had campaigned on who was best able to take a "3 am" emergency call to the White House. As it turns out neither one was up to the task.

Obama has his hands full with the increased fighting in Afghanistan, plans to pull out of Iraq and closing GITMO. Now he has Iran and North Korea raising hell. Still, his main concern seems to be in nationalizing as much of the private sector as he can and as fast as he can. He has already bankrupted the nation and run up the largest national debt in the history of the country. That humming noise you hear is government printing presses churning out new money 24/7. His next move is to pack the courts with socialist judges. While all of this is going on he continues to "apologize" to the rest of the world and tell them what a rotten country America is.

You can bet the world is watching the Obama/Pelosi/Reid gang of socialists run America into the ground. America's enemies are certainly watching and plotting. They see us anxious to cut and run in Iraq and less than aggressive in Afghanistan. They see us waffle on North Korea and Iran and our questionable support of Israel in their fight against Hamas and other terrorist outfits. They see the President of the United States travelling around the world bowing down to Arab leaders and running down America with his "apologetic" speeches.

They see a continued reluctance to secure our borders and deal with illegal immigration. They see an indifferent response to the growing Muslim presence in America and the thousands of Muslim mosques being built throughout the country. They see a government trying its damnedest to disarm its citizens. They see an America that is ripe for widespread terrorist attacks throughout the country.

America had better wake up before it's too late. As Barry Goldwater once said, "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice." Goldwater was right but like so many truly, patriotic Americans he isn't around anymore. Who is looking out for America? The Democrats and the RINOs sure as hell aren't.
