Mideast Boiling

The breach of the American Embassy in Cairo and the US Consulate in Libya on 9/11 highlights the problem our nation faces with radical Islam. President Obama has turned a blind eye to the problems in the Middle East. These are serious problems. War with Iran is coming, and it will spill over into other countries. It will be brutal, and will set the world economy on its ear as the oil from the Mideast will drain to a trickle.

Barack Obama thought he could “apologize” his way out of America’s and Israel’s Mideast problems. These are radicals whose hate for Israel is only surpassed by their hate for the United States. These are religious zealots. Rationality plays no role in how these folks think. Obama’s Arab Spring has disintegrated into America’s nightmare. Strong-arm dictators who violently suppressed these radical nut cases are now gone. The current governments are weak. No amount of money can keep these governments in power. The radicals are being bankrolled by Iran…and we have big problems as they rise to positions of power in their countries.

Egypt and Libya are the sideshow. The real problems are Iran and Pakistan. The current Pakistani government is holding on by a thread. They have nukes…and $8 Billion/year in Pakistani aid is not going to cut it. If the current government falls, the Islamists will have nuclear weapons at their disposal. Same for Iran! No nukes yet, but they have radioactive material that can be used to build dirty bombs. Who knows who has what from Iran right now?

While all of this is going on, Obama is proposing that we unilaterally give up our nuclear weapons. Is this guy serious? His reference to the “peace dividend” in his convention speech is almost laughable. Actually, it isn't laughable.  It is scary.

These folks in the Mideast play for keeps. They are patient, and have been building up their strength and resolve for fifty years. Iran is taking the lead in developing weaponry. They are testing long range ballistic missiles and right now can probably hit, albeit without much accuracy, any city in Israel and Europe. Give some of these weapons to Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, and those living around the Gulf Coast should be concerned too. Obama thinks he can change this by bowing to the Saudi Prince and saying Pah-kee-stahn instead of Pakistan. 

And while giving a wink and a nod to the Islamic radicals…he is refusing to meet with the Prime Minister of Israel claiming scheduling conflicts which include an appearance on the Letterman Show and interviews with hip hop disc jockeys in Florida.

Someone in the current administration needs to wake up and smell the coffee.  Maybe America needs to wake up this November.
