President Obama on Wednesday delivered a speech at the United Nations filled with his usual soaring rhetoric of global collectivism and the importance of “international norms.” But the president also displayed a shocking naivete about global affairs, religion, Islam — a Pollyannaish interpretation on the state of the world and America’s role in it.
Although Mr. Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize just eight months into office, the president made his annual trip to the ineffectual world council to deliver a call to war. “Ladies and gentlemen, we come together at a crossroads between war and peace, between disorder and integration, between fear and hope.”
Of course he waxed poetic about “climate change” and the promise of “the children,” but the president was forced to devote the bulk of his speech to what he called the “heart of darkness” and the “cancer of violent extremism.”
He said upon opening his remarks that “the shadow of world war that existed at the founding of this institution has been lifted.” He couldn’t be more wrong. A true man of peace worthy of the Nobel Prize, Pope Francis, said just the opposite this month in remarkably astute comments to commemorate the anniversary of World War I.
“Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction,” the pope said, summing up the conflicts in Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Israel, Gaza and much of northern Africa, including Libya and Tunisia, not to mention Somalia.

Bump
He needs to be fitted for a dunce cap.
** AMEN **
Those in other countries got him pegged.
There is a disinclination to believe his promises, said Mustafa Alani of the Gulf Research Center in Dubai.
“We have reached a low point of trust in this administration,” he said. “We think in a time of crisis Mr. Obama will walk away from everyone if it means saving his own skin.”
You know that Ferguson,Mo. Does not have a liquor store anymore!
He is in the process of trying to round up a coalition of Arab states that have good reason to be worried about ISIS. Would he have improved our strategic situation if he had gone out of his way to insult the majority of Muslims world wide rather than appeal to some of their better natures?
When barry speaks of the “cancer of violent extremism.”, he’s talking about CONSERVATIVES.
He wants us to BELIEVE he’s talking about fighting ISIS and Al Quaida and whoever, but there is only ONE group of people he sees as the ‘enemy’.
That is us.
I agree...The majority of world leaders, ally or adversaries, don’t trust him nor respect him in my view.
IBTZ.
Spoken like a DU’er.
Strategic situation? Appeal to Muslims better natures?
You mean appeasing and negotiating with terrorist elements and flat out lying about their beliefs and actions?
Give me a break.
THAT ^^ was our warning.
there’s nothing naive about him
he has made his IslamoNazi agenda crystal clear ...
its Satanic and viciously anti-American and anti-Christian by definition. but its definitely not naive
we have to give him credit where “credit” is due...
he knows what he’s doing and he’s doing it consistently, each and every day... he is not naive
One must ask is he REALLY that naive or simply THAT ignorant...
Does the man not look back over history to get a bearing on the forces that drive our world...
Does he not understand that by not projecting power he projects weakness and multiples of people and nations can and will use that to their advantage...
