Obama admin warns Israel, not Iran

American Thinker ^ | April 08, 2009 | Ed Lasky

[Ooh-Ah]

American Thinker has carried numerous articles over the past two years predicting that Barack Obama would prove to be an appeaser of tyrants. He has fulfilled our predictions.

His obsequiesness towards the tyrannical regime of Iran; his bowing to the Saudi king (even the Center for American Progress; closely tied to the Administration, admits Obama bowed), his television address to the Arab world on a partially Saudi-owned cable network, his expansion of aid to the Palestinians; his claim that the Muslim world has enriched America; his commitment to join the UN Human Rights Council; his first call as President was to Palestinian leader Mohammed Abbas; his gutting of defense spending -- particularly the ending of the F-22 and missile defense programs -- crucial to dealing with regimes developing nuclear weapons; his placidity towards Russia's and North Korea's aggressiveness; his apology tour of Europe; well..the list could go on and on.

Now to be truly effective, his abasement of America must also reflect itself  in the belittling and weakening our allies and friends. This he has started to do with his serial and shameful diplomatic faux pas involving Great Britain. Now he has turned his focus onto Israel -- a small nation surrounded by far more numerous and wealthy enemies -- one of which, Iran, routinely boasts that it will destroy Israel.

In the face of these manifold existential threats, what does Barack Obama do? He sends an unprecedented warning to Congress that there will be an upcoming clash with Israel and he demands that Congress support  his policies. Will he send his legion of grassroots supporters to petition their Congressional members to support the President? After all, he has told them recently that he is "keeping score" regarding the level of support they show for him.

Just in case, no one misses the message, his Vice-President, Joe Biden, to reinforce the message to Israel that traditional American support may not be forthcoming. Last night on CNN, Biden warned Israel not to attack Iran. . Israel is a sovereign nation whose people face the prospect of another Holocaust. Yet the message from the leader of a nation who has in the past been its best friend is... what? Drop dead?

Any experienced leader would realize that threats of military force is one tool that can be used with diplomacy to shape other nations' behavior. America has just sent a message to Iran that they need not take risk into account in the future. As America cuts the F-22 Raptor and missile defense programs-just a day after North Korea (allied with Iran) launches a ballistic missile, what message is Obama sending to the rest of the world?

The era of Pax Americana has ended and with it much of the security for the Western world.

When some future Gibbon centuries hence begins to write the history of The Decline and Fall of the United States he will most certainly commence with the election of the great 0.

We pulled a Spain, people. We were hit. We hit back. Then we elected our enemies by our own free will.

What a pathetic country we are.

Not a chance. It will begin with FDR. Obama will be the equivalent of Ricimer or Odovacer. Watch.

As the Emperor stops all defense of missiles and the aircraft of Communist and Islamic Nations it would seem that our Republic is on its way to destruction.

I just read that he is going to cool the earth by launching sun shades into space so that an ice age will come fast.

Goodbye freedom.

In the early months of WWII, American volunteers went to England to fight for freedom because of isolationist policies.

History may have to be repeated.

I think Id begin w/ Woodrow.

Our worse fears are coming true. At a pace that is breath taking. Pray for this country.

I agree. Also, the ancestors of Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy and the list goes on... will be proud of the fact that they all had a big part to play in the destruction of America as well.

The question is whether the future Gibbon will be writing in Arabic or Chinese.

Call every Jew you know that voted for this Marxist and tell them “We told you so” they deserve what they get. They thought Obama would bring “change” well, now they are gonna get it.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Abraham Lincoln, actually.

“After all, he has told them recently that he is “keeping score” regarding the level of support they show for him”

Whoa, what?

Joe Biden knew about this. THIS is what he was talking about folks. Not North Korea, fighting Israel.

Dear God, help us all.

[Luke21]

Pretty amazing. We spilled our nation’s precious blood fighting a guy named Hussein, and then freely elected one of his celestial relatives.

Formerly of GLendale and a graduate of the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Obama’s obeissance is entirely expected. His Mission: To subjugate Israel to her tormentors. The method: Stultify all efforts to halt Iranian Nuclear ambitions. The tactic: To move forces to Afghanistan leaving Iraq ripe for Iran’s take-over. The hoped-for result: five million dead jews. The unexpected result: Israel takes out the Nuclear sites, Hormuz straits are blocked, oil goes to five hundred dollars, US economy tanks.

Crap, I forgot about Spain!!!

Yep, this is just like Spain.

Actually the comparision is quite close. Reagen was Augustus, conqueror, statesman, reunited a republic savaged by civil war.

Bush the elder is Vespasian. Finished the conquests of his predecessor, but unable to step out of his shadows. A man ruled by conspiracies.

Clinton was Caligula. Ruthless and ruled by his passions without any care for the state he ruled.

Bush the younger is Claudius. A holdover of a prior administration brought to power as a result the incompetence of his predecessor. Somewhat over his head he kept the empire together, but was unable to arrest the rot within.

And that brings us to Obama is the Nero. An emperor who wants to be an actor. He is surrounded by sycophants who only tell him how wonderful he is. He destroys any who dare even the most tame criticism. He has lost all connection to reality. And with outrageous taxes and brutal oppression he will bring about a rebellion that will plunge the empire into civil war.
