America is a nation weary of war fighting an undaunted enemy certain of victory in a life and death struggle for the fate of the earth.
On November 4th of last year (the 29th anniversary of the Iran Hostage Crisis when this life and death struggle was renewed*) our war weary nation elected a President from the anti-war left over a decorated war hero who ran on a platform of peace through strength. Our enemies heaved a sigh of relief as eight strong years of George W. Bush would not be followed by John McCain a man with the courage, character and grit for patriotic wartime leadership.
*Islam's war for world domination bagan 1400 years ago with its totalitarian founder.
This new leader, Barack Obama, is the first President born in the destructive 1960s when the radical anti-war movement began and anti-Americanism became a cultural fad. Four months after his birth in Hawaii, the state where World War II began, we started military operations in South Vietnam the only war we ever lost or failed to win for loss of will and nerve*.
*Our military operations in Vietnam began on December 11, 1961.
Obama brings the promise of "Hope and Change" and a new way forward to a future of progress and peace between America and Islam. In an interview with the Arab media he extended a hand of peace and friendship to the Moslem world like no president has done before; apologizing for America’s injustices and sins he said that he'd listen to their grievances and injuries with open ears; that in him they'd find a sympathetic friend who'd understand and help them. But the enemy is unappeasable, and his determination to destroy us remains unchanged; and with America’s economy shrinking and a weak, incompetent leader at our helm the enemy's more hopeful than ever of victory-and that's not good for peace.
Obama lived in Moslem lands, has Moslem family roots and bears an Arabic middle name; and he naively believes this gives him a decisive edge in succeeding where others have failed in making peace with Islam-making peace with a militant faith with a once great empire that terrified the earth and wants to do so again. The differences dividing us from Islam are unbridgeable and beyond the power of any US president to span. Diplomacy, negotiations, speeches, appeasement, concessions, etc. all are useless. The Moslem world is hell bent on imperial restoration, universal conquest, redeeming themselves from powerlessness and the fear that their Koran and prophet may be wrong about Islam's supremacy and global destiny. Believing they have the untimate revelation of divine justice and truth our Moslem enemies (Sunni and Shia) will kill us by the millions turning the earth blood red to restore their glorious past and make Islam powerful again. And however horrific the carnage and death, however great the disaster in achieving supremacy again, world Islam would dance delirious in the streets bathing in our blood, rejoicing in the victory of tyranny and the dawn of a new dark age. And Barack Obama believes he can appease them out of this.
THE MOSLEM CULT OF OBAMA VS MOHAMMED
Obama wants to plant his cult of personality in the midst of the Moslem world hoping to mesmerize its masses into venerating him like his ignorant, awestruck followers here at home. But Moslems already have such a cult revering the personality, teachings, and deeds of Islam's founder: the warrior-prophet Mohammed, the ideal man and ruler of men, second to none in their esteem for wisdom, justice, and courage on the battlefield where he made Islam powerful, respected and feared. Driving our Islamist enemies is the Prophet’s "divine" vision of an empire spread across the earth by subversion and force; where the end of great power justifies the means no matter how lawless and evil. How then can Obama compete with Mohammed for the hearts and minds of Moslems, as they are indoctrinated from cradle to grave with his teachings and militant faith? It’s a naïve and thoughtless venture based on wishful thinking and doomed to fail. In the end Obama will be reviled and scorned, unloved by the intolerant Moslem world who'll turn against him and hate him with the same ferocity as his predecessor.
As we brought an end to the era of pan-Arab nationalism by toppling and defeating Saddam Hussein so there is no substitute for victory in our struggle with the pan-Islamic idea (Moslem supremacism)-the dream of a one world Moslem state or universal caliphate-the vision that inspires the mullahs, al Qaida, the Saudi royal family, the Moslem Brothers, Hamas, the Taliban and Hezbollah. Those who fight us with politics must be defeated politically; and those who raise the sword to advance their cause must be crushed and physically destroyed. Like the Communists, Nazis and militant Japanese the enemy is implacably bent on our destruction and must be broken. Obama's well-meaning stupidity to hear their grievances, understand them, and appease them will fail. Emboldening the enemy with his weak and foolish leadership Obama will fuel the conflict and make it worse causing strife, turmoil and war where he wanted peace, friendship and concord.
CARTERISM AND OUR INORDINATE FEAR OF TERRORISM
Jimmy Carter believed that an inordinate fear of communism is what drove America into Vietnam. Obama believes that an inordinate fear of Islamic terrorism is what made us invade Iraq, and that global warming is a greater threat to our security than global jihad. Obama is the new Jimmy Carter; a black version of the man who emboldened Russia to invade Afghanistan (causing the rise of al Qaida and the Taliban) and Khomeine to make hostages of Americans in Tehran, the first bold act of Islamic jihad against our land since the Barbary pirates of old.
John McCain during the campaign warned that his unqualified, inexperienced, ignorant rival would be a second Jimmy Carter (or a new Neville Chamberlain); and three weeks in office is proving him right as we gather from his actions and the many ominous signs, that he‘s a soft-on-terror leader lacking the head, heart and stomach for a sustained victorious fight. In fact, he wants to weaken America and retreat from the Middle East believing that it's best for this country and world peace. Just as events proved Jimmy Carter wrong, that our fear of international communism was anything but extreme, so will Obama embolden the enemy and reawaken our war weary nation on just how relentless and deadly he is, and that there's no appeasing him.
NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN'S AVATAR
Speaking of Neville Chamberlain, on March 18th of last year the legally blind David Paterson was sworn in as New York's first black governor. On the following day, the 139th anniversary of Neville Chamberlain's birth, Barack Obama gave his famous speech on race and Reverend Wright in Wright's birthplace of Philadephia-this is the white hating, pro-Hamas, anti-Semite on the side of America's enemies who blames this country for 9/11 and wishes us hell. It was the blind symbolically following the blind: Paterson's physical blindness is emblematic of Obama's moral and mental blindness especially on matters of war and peace, national security, and diplomacy with enemies-matters where Chamberlain abysmally failed plunging the world into war.
With America still at war in Iraq and battling al Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan; with terrorist Iran extending its proxy empire and close to building the bomb; with tensions between Israel and Hamas ready to explode, and India amassing troops on Pakistan’s border, in short with the world in such peril we have a politically correct ultra-appeaser at the helm who abhors wielding the sword; who wants to be a domestic president transforming America into a socialist state, not a wartime leader fighting the way to victory over evil.
Obama's blindness and stupidity in facing these challenges makes him Chamberlain's avatar. It may be 1938 all over again with Obama's poor judgment and appeasement mentality making the world a more dangerous place leading to war.
THE HONOLULU* BLACKOUT AND GAZA WAR
While I’m on the subject of Obama’s mental blindness there was an incident in Hawaii which was, in my view, prophetically symbolic of his ignorance of and poor judgment in foreign affairs indicating that he'd make things worse as president-especially on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which he will likely aggravate.
*Actually the blackout hit both Honolulu and the island of Oahu where the Obama's had their vacation compound.
On December 26th, six days into the Obama familiy's Christmas vacation in Hawaii, Honolulu suffered a massive power outage that put the Obamas in the dark for 11 hours. This wouldn’t be of any interest but for the fact that four and a half hours into the blackout Israeli defense forces started Operation Cast Lead, Israel’s secretly planned military campaign against missile firing Hamas murderers in Gaza. As Obama was physically in the dark when Israel struck the blackout was emblematic of his staggering ignorance, naivety and blindness on the Middle East, and especially on the the racial, cultural and religious dynamics underlying the Palestinian/Arab-Israeli conflict. Indeed, this blindness was evident when Obama kept silent during the Gaza War and refused to join George Bush (perhaps the most pro-Israeli US President in history) in condemning Hamas. This signaled Obama's coming policy of evenhanded neutrality-of playing the "honestbroker once in power in a conflict of good verses evil. As the honest broker game was played to death by Bill Clinton to his regret, with Yassir Arafat backstabbing him and starting a war, returning to it is madness and could only have the same bad outcome or worse. The Honolulu blackout was an ominous sign warning us in advance about the destructive impact of Obama's naivity and misguided policies in the region. It was a warning that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the turbulent, volcanic Middle East will likely explode during his presidency plunging him and his administration into turmoil.
IN PRAISE OF BUSH AND CHENEY VERSES THE LAW "PROFESSOR"-IN-CHIEF WHO IS LOVED BY OUR ENEMIES
We are a nation at war with a fanatical enemy single-mindedly bent on our destruction, and given the chance he would kill us by the millions.There is no wishing, or willing, or hoping away this war; no appeasing, placating or softening the foe. Diplomacy with him is useless for there are no wrongs to be righted, no grievances to be redressed, no differences to be resolved, no common interests to be found that could form the bond of lasting peace. We are the one’s being injured, we are the one’s being wronged, it is we who are the aggrieved and have nothing to apologize for. As the enemy believes that his faith is supreme and destined by God and history for victory the great divide between can't be healed or our differences resolved peacefully.
George Bush and D-i-ck Cheney understood the enemy and were up to the challenge of fighting him. They invaded Iraq and overthrew the terror king Saddam who was turning his country into a mass production factory for the training, funding and arming of jihadi killers and suicide thugs (some with knowledge on the making and use of WMD). And when Saddam was gone Iraq was turned into a death trap for jihadis where they came in droves to meet their end fighting us there instead of here at home. Indeed, Bush and Cheney kept us safe for seven years against hair raising odds defying expectations of another mass attack and stopping several dedaly missions in their tracks; and for this they deserve lasting praise.
But now a radical leftist is at the helm, a lawyer-"professor" from Harvard not a dauntless warrior like George Bush and his stalwart VP. More the President of Harvard Law Review than the President of the United States this leftist lawyer-in-chief is approaching the dread struggle of fighting jihadism mainly from the legal point of view-as a lawyer not a warrior with a war to wage and win. To this law professor President the legalities of fighting this war are more important than the fighting, more important than the battle, more important than defeating the foe.
To Obama's leftist mind not to prosecute the war strictly by the law-whatever the cost in lives-demeans us to the level of the enemy-shaming our nation, ruining our brand, dragging the flag and constitution in the mud. 'What good is victory,' thinks the leftist in chief, 'if it means losing our moral compass and national soul? What will humanity think of us then? Image is everything! World opinion is all! Unless we are loved we have lost with the enemy triumphing in the end making us no better than him.' This is Carter's old strategy of fighting "fire with water" (now called "soft power" in confronting the enemy, a strategy that quickly vaporized.
With good reason a sick D-i-ck Cheney, who (God forbid) may not have long to live, is sounding the alarm: our nation's security is in the hands of a dangerous fool. The fool who bungled his oath of office as a sign to the nation he's not fit to command, not up to the job of defending and protecting us. Unless Obama heeds his own advice and "puts childish things aside;" unless he quickly matures and finds the balls to be a wartime leader he'll be putting our nation at terrible risk and there'll be hell to pay for it.
THE RETURN OF PAPER TIGER AMERICA
America is seriously disconnected from reality with a leader who minimizes the danger we are in and widens the gap by the day. As weakness begets war its reality will return with a terrible vengeance with turmoil in the Middle East or new attacks on our shore. The 60s born Obama is the right man at this time to awaken our war weary nation by leading us into peril. People and leader are suited to each other for both are blind and fast asleep, ignorant of the enemy and the danger we're in. 9/11 is prelude and the years preceding that attack are mindlessly being restored by an administration staffed with Clinton insiders and Hillary at State, a woman with the veneer of strength masking a soft liberal core. It’s the 1990s all over again with Bill and Hillary destined to play the role of mentors-in-chief schooling Obama in the soft-on-terror politics of the past, when America was seen as a "paper tiger" for treating combatants as felons and weakly striking back. Yes, leader and people are fast asleep lulled into lethargy by Bush's success in keeping us safe, our economic woes and the absence of an alarming threat to scare us. But the menacing clouds are gathering strength ready to explode and we'll be shocked out of sleep before long by the scourge of Moslem aggression, terror, hostage taking, discord and war*.
TAKING HUMANITY HOSTAGE
It was no accident of history that Obama won election on the 29th anniversary of the hostage crisis* when the war between the US and militant Islam began; for now the greatest challenge to our security and power, to Israel's existence and Mid-East peace, is coming from nuclear, fascist, apocalyptic Iran-the engine of radicalism, martyrdom and terror in the region. The mullahs delight in killing, kidnapping, and hostage taking, they invented suicide bombing and shed blood to please their evil God. And what they made us suffer years ago when seizing our embassy they will do to the oil rich Middle East and humanity at large holding everyone hostage to nuclear blackmail and the threat of atomic war. "They want to devour the Arab world," warned a worried Hosni Mubarak who foresees a nuclear Iran fomenting revolutions throughout the region to topple moderate regimes and leaders like himself. Who can fail to see the hunger in Ahmadinejad's lean face and beady fanatical eyes, an exterminating devil who became president of Iran on the 60th anniversary of Hiroshima (August 6, 2005). And now he leads terrorist Iran while a 60's born man is the US President steering the Middle East and world toward disaster.
These are the perils America is facing, the perils of a war weary nation weakening in its struggle against an implacable foe; the perils in the age of Barack Obama an era of coming tragedy, upheaval and woe.
*November 4, 2008 was the 29th anniversary of the Iranian Hostage Crisis-an OMINOUS SIGN given the man who's president and his appeasement mentality toward Islam.
