Obama to restore UN ambassador's post to Cabinet rank... Developing...
Let's just share everything we have...get it over with and done already. Here is your globalist foreign policy agenda. National Security will mean nothing to this man and his cronies
Does anybody else wonder why we still support the UN?
It tries to undermine the Constitution of the USA and
would love to cripple our Constitutional Republic.
In over 60 years No major politician has ever tried to
get the USA out of the UN.
16 out of 17 of the AMERICANS that were involved in
creating the UN.were later identified, in sworn testimony,
as secret communist agents.
The first Secretary General was the AMERICAN Alger Hiss.
Alger Hiss served time in prison pursuant to his
involvement in a Communist spy ring.
Many of the other AMERICANS that were involved in creating
the UN fled the country, to avoid prosecution.
The ONE AMERICAN, that was involved in creating the UN and
was NOT later identified, in sworn testimony, as a secret
communist agent, was Dean Acheson.
Dean Acheson’s law firm was the legal representative of
the Soviet Union, in US courts.
If the AMERICANS that were involved in creating the UN
were Communists, what do you think we got from the rest
of the world?
This weakens the power of the Secretary of State. I wonder how Hillary views this.
Liberal Richard Holbrooke has this to say about this topic
“The idea of giving U.N. ambassadors “Cabinet rank” is a “bad tradition,” Holbrooke wrote back in 1982, that “against reason or good politics has allowed the [ambassador] to become a sort of second secretary of state.” In an op-ed piece for one of his local papers when then-Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. and then-U.N. Ambassador Jeane J. Kirkpatrick were feuding, Holbrooke said such friction was inevitable no matter who occupied the offices. “Cabinet rank” has been “a valuable political goodie presidents have handed out to people whom they do not quite want to appoint Secretary of State,” Holbrooke wrote.
I’d think this would lessen Sen. Clinton’s importance as Sec State, possibly by a lot.
Perhaps the greatest damage to the United States will be done by Obama in surrendering American sovereignty through UN treaties.
Treaties override domestic US law. We may well see Kyoto-like treaties that impose crippling environmental restrictions on American economic activity, and treaties like the Law of the Sea which would give control of the seabeds to UN bureaucrats with the right to tax. One-worlders have long been lobbying for a UN tax on cross-border financial transactions. The WTO will be beefed up with more left-wing social engineering provisions in the name of labor standards, the environment or non-discrimination against favored groups like homosexuals.
“This weakens the power of the Secretary of State. I wonder how Hillary views this.”
Lamps and ashtrays are flying around the house, particularly due to the timing, which twists the knife.
The government of Sudan, employing a back channel direct from its president to the Central Intelligence Agency, offered in the early spring of 1996 to arrest Osama bin Laden and place him in Saudi custody, according to officials and former officials in all three countries.
The Clinton administration struggled to find a way to accept the offer in secret contacts that stretched from a meeting at a Rosslyn hotel on March 3, 1996, to a fax that closed the door on the effort 10 weeks later. Unable to persuade the Saudis to accept bin Laden, and lacking a case to indict him in U.S. courts at the time, the Clinton administration finally gave up on the capture.
Susan Rice, then senior director for Africa on the NSC, remembers being intrigued with but deeply skeptical of the Sudanese offer. And unlike Berger and Simon, she argued that mere expulsion from Sudan was not enough.
"We wanted them to hand him over to a responsible external authority," she said. "We didn't want them to just let him disappear into the ether."
Shut the UN the hell down.
I see another Clinton sitting at that table!
Not if Obama appoints Bill to the UN cabinet position. Then we have a 100% Clinton foreign policy. I can't imagine HIllary would stand for being made window dressing by diminishing the role of the Sec. of State. Why would she give up her Senate seat for that? There's more here than meets the eye. Having said that, it wouldn't have been bad to have Bolton in the Bush cabinet.

One of the major concerns about Obama is that he would cede American sovergnty to the U.N..
That concern stems from all three of the major risk factors. 1) The Muslim upbringing...there are way too many muslim states in the U.N. 2) The marxist friends and comments...what easier way to overturn the constitution than entangling us in foreign agreements subject to the U.N. jurisdiction. He could easily sign agreements to subject us to the World court or tie our economic policy via kyota type agreements. 3) The black liberation theology / anger at America.
It’s gonna be a long 4 years.
Oh swell. Let’s just turn this country over to international lawyers. The stock market already let out a death rattle when Obama’s poll numbers rose. The lawyers can pick the bones.

Makes complete sense for a man who said he is a citizen of the world and has come to “change the world.”
Not symbolism.....he was serious when he claimed to be a “citizen of the world.” He’s going to see to it that we all see it that way.
Do you have a link for the Holbrooke info?
Another example of the media=political incest that Drudge always talks about.
