Back Talk

Obama makes a weekly statement betraying his unbelievable ignorance of world affairs, economics, or national defense. He should have adhered to the aphorism, “A closed mouth gathered no foot.” Latest installment: Feeling the political necessity to do some damage control because of his statement that he would meet - free of preconditions – with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who supplies weapons to kill American troop, supports terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas and said Iran would wipe Israel from the map, Obama said that Iran is not a serious threat to America. Even Hillary Clinton voiced concern over the danger from Iran as a “State sponsor of terrorism,” and John McCain said, “It is reckless to suggest that unconditional meetings with terrorist regimes will advance our interests,” and, "The biggest national security challenge the United States currently faces is keeping nuclear material out of the hands of terrorists; should Iran acquire nuclear weapons, that danger would become very dire.” The President also made a statement that one cannot negotiate with an unbalanced terrorist and that such actions would be appeasement? The Democrat Party, so touchy about national defense since they are historically so weak there, went bonkers over this, even though the President did not specifically mention Obama. They immediately exhumed a few of their old-line DemPols, had them put on their indignation faces, hit the talk shows, and cry foul. Lawyer/politicians bellow the loudest when someone nails them with the ugly truth.
