Madness in Asia: Chinese Powdered Baby Flesh Pills

May 8, 2012 2 Comments

South Korean Customs officials have reportedly confiscated between 17,000 and 17,500 pills since last August which contain powdered human baby flesh. This is sadly not an internet hoax. The babies come from China where the one child policy has caused forced abortions. Some of the babies were actually born but left to die in China’s “dying rooms” as their parents already have one child. The Daily Mail reports:

The capsules are in demand because they are viewed as being a medicinal ‘cure-all’.

The grim trade is being run from China where corrupt medical staff are said to be tipping off medical companies when babies are aborted or delivered still-born.

The tiny corpses are then bought, stored in household refrigerators in homes of those involved in the trade before they are removed and taken to clinics where they are placed in medical drying microwaves.

Once the skin is tinder dry, it is pummelled into powder and then processed into capsules along with herbs to disguise the true ingredients from health investigators and customs officers.

South Korea is concerned about the potential threat to public health concerning these pills. However the South Koreans don’t want to press the issue lest relations with China take a turn for the worse. Babies are being murdered, sold by corrupt medical workers, dried in microwaves and powdered before being put into pill form and the South Korean government doesn’t want to say anything lest the government that put into place the policy that killed all of these babies be offended.

This is the stuff of Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele. This is the sort of horrifying story one would expect to hear from Holocaust or Gulag survivors, not from South Korean Customs officials who are more concerned about public health than the horrors and indignities these children have suffered. Who are these monsters who believe ingesting human baby flesh is going to work wonders for them? There must be a market for this in South Korea, otherwise 17,000 pills wouldn’t have been confiscated at the border. You know that many more pills made it through without detection. There are monsters in both countries.

Here in the US nothing is being said about this. Nothing is ever said about China’s one child policy, which has lead to forced abortions, sex selective abortions and dying rooms for born babies. Vice President Joe Biden said he understood China’s policy and he wouldn’t dream of “second guessing” it. Really Mr. Vice President, you understand why China would force its citizens to kill their unborn babies or force them to send their newborns to dying rooms lest a family have more than one child? Is this what it’s come down to in this nation and world?

Even if we should happen to elect a President one of these days who cares about China’s one child policy, we don’t even have leverage with which to do anything about it. We owe China over $1 trillion, do you think they’re going to listen to us when we complain about their murderous policy? Barack Obama has racked up over $5 trillion in new debt in just three years in office. Lest my Republican friends rest on this statistic, George W. Bush racked up $4 trillion in eight years. That’s $9 trillion in new debt in just eleven years, a good amount of it financed by China. If a future President challenges China on their killing policy, they’ll flip us the bird and tell us to get lost.

These baby pills are one of the most horrifying stories I’ve read. That people think nothing of ingesting human flesh, that died at the hands of an abortionist or in a baby dying room, ought to greatly disturb the rest of us. Even if some of these babies were simply miscarriages or stillborn, we’re still talking about people eating other people. That South Korea shrugs its shoulders and does nothing, that we here in the US do the same should disturb all of us with a Christian conscience. This is pure madness, it is pure evil. It has become painfully obvious that we have learned nothing from the 20th century.

Earth Worshippers A Cancer On Mankind

April 23, 2012 19 Comments

Yesterday was Earth worship day. The Birn’s celebrated by burning two charcoal chimney’s and grilling animals. Earth worship confronted us all last week as NBC went “green” throughout the NHL playoffs. It’s interesting that NBC never mentions Christian holidays, only pagan Earth worship gets a weeks worth of coverage. It is of course absurd to worship the creation over the Creator as any Christian will tell you. The origins of modern Earth worship however are much worse than that. They are rooted in a hatred of man kind. The left-wing Club of Rome has declared that Earth has cancer and the cancer is man.

This cancer of course must be destroyed according to Earth worshippers. As such the far left has sought to destroy mankind by making it more difficult for him to survive. It’s no secret that DDT wiped out malaria in South America, Asia and Africa. It saved half a billion lives by the 70′s. Then came Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” which falsely alleged DDT was killing birds. The newly Nixon created EPA banned DDT and the left tied American foreign aid to the ban of DDT. In short, if African nations wanted to receive American aid that had to eliminate DDT. Malaria has been on the rise ever since, killing an estimated 100 million Africans and millions of others. All in the name of mother Earth.

The racist eugenics crowd (think Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood) come together with the Earth worshippers when it comes to abortion and forced contraception. Not content just getting rid of as many “inferior” black and Asian babies as possible, the Earth worshipping left always uses abortion to further their anti-man agenda. Once again, US foreign aid is tied to population control programs which include forced sterilizations in many countries and abortions. While under GOP President’s the Federal government doesn’t directly fund abortions, it still encourages them via population control requirements tied to foreign aid.

We could look at energy and how much the left hates cheap energy. Less than a decade ago the left pushed hard for natural gas via shale rock deposits in New York, Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Natural gas represented a safe way for the left to “support” energy as at the time extracting gas from shale rocks was expensive and thus was unlikely to amount to anything. Then it became cheap and easy to extract natural gas from shale rocks and the price of natural gas dropped dramatically. The result? The left turned on natural gas and now claims that mining shale is an environmental disaster. Anything that aids mankind the Earth worshipping left opposes.

Religion is banned at the government schools, teachers all over the country remove the word God from song lyrics, books etc. But children are being taught a religion at the government schools, they’re being taught to worship the Earth. Millions of school children spent the last week learning greatly exaggerated stories of environmental disaster. When I was in 5th grade in 1989 we were told the Amazon rainforest was being cut down at the size of England every year. It was an outright lie but who in 5th grade would question what a teacher tells them? Radical environmentalist propaganda is being fed to children in government schools that otherwise ban religion. 

Mankind has a disease and that disease is liberal Earth worship. Earth worshipping environmentalists are responsible for the deaths of more humans than Hitler, Stalin and Mao combined via their DDT ban. They’ve caused countless more deaths as well as human rights abuses by forcing population control on third world nations. Here in the US when they aren’t teaching children to worship Earth in school, they’re turning on any energy that becomes cheap and increases our quality of life. Christians must be particularly mindful of what the Earth worshippers are up to. It’s one thing to be a good steward, it’s another thing to worship and center our lives around the creation over the Creator.

In War Panetta Supports International Over Congressional Permission

March 9, 2012 7 Comments

Leon Panetta has been an internationalist for years. He was one of the key UN internationalist types in the Clinton administration and now he serves the same role in the Obama administration. Knowing this it should come as no surprise when Panetta told Congress this week that the administration believes it must get “international permission” to initiate military action abroad. Whether the administration bothers to seek Congressional permission, that may or may not be done at the good pleasure of the administration.

We’ve already seen this in action. Obama obtained “international permission” for his actions in Libya. He never received authorization from Congress, which is required when a military action takes longer than 90 days. Libya went well over the legal time limit, Obama never sought any authorization from Congress. Compare this to President Bush who obtained authorization for action in Iraq and Afghanistan before action was ever taken against those countries.

It ought to disturb Americans that the administration believes that Congress is irrelevant to military action. The Ron Paul libertarian types and liberals before Obama took office will whine to no end that Bush never received a declaration of war from Congress. It’s debatable whether the authorizations he received were de facto declarations of war. But putting that aside, recall the outrage from the left over the Iraq and Afghanistan wars when Bush was in office and ask yourself where the outrage from the left is over wars Obama has gotten us involved in and wars he’s talking about getting us involved in.

For all the talk of illegal war when Bush was in office, there’s no talk of illegal war from the left now that Obama is in the White House. The fact is that the Libya war became an illegal war when Obama failed to obtain or even request Congressional approval. Syria, should we get involved there, would also be an illegal war if the necessary Congressional approval isn’t obtained in the proper time frame. But the left won’t care. Why? Because they’re more interested in international permission than they are with Congressional permission. In short, they believe our military should be subject to international control.

Want evidence? Go back to the Bush administration. It was the Ron Paul libertarian types who made the Constitutional argument against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The left whined that Bush was a cowboy who was “going at it alone.” Never mind all the other nations who sent troops, the left’s mantra was that cowboy Bush was unilaterally going to war. The far left, which was responsible for protests and which controls the media, have long been on the internationalist bandwagon.

We shouldn’t be surprised at Panetta’s position. The far left hates the American Constitution because it limits the power of government. A certain portion of the far left much prefers decisions be made by a handful of elites, which is where the internationalists come in. Rather than allowing Congress to make decisions about war, the far left would rather a cabal of international elites make the decision for us. In short, they have all the power and we have none. Worse, we have no say in the matter. This is all old news with Panetta, he’s been supporting this nonsense for decades.

Obama Silent While World Burns Around Him

November 28, 2011 Leave a comment

The world is blowing up in our faces and we have near silence coming from Washington. Last week Iran claims to have arrested 12 undercover CIA agents who were allegedly targeting Iran’s nuclear program. Since Iran’s claim, we’ve heard nothing from the CIA or the Obama administration. In fact the mainstream press has been nearly silent on the matter. It’s entirely possible that Iran is lying but if they’re lying why would the mainstream press remain so silent?

Over the weekend NATO fired on Pakistan killing around 24 soldiers. Pakistan is ablaze with anti-American protests as a result. The mainstream press has largely ignored all of this and the Obama administration has more or less remained silent. In Egypt there have been massive protests staged by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood declared recently that “one day we shall kill all the Jews.” Remember of course that the Obama administration supported the Muslim Brotherhood in both Egypt and Libya.  Earlier today saboteurs blew up a gas pipeline from Egypt to Israel. Silence all the way around from the Obama administration.

The Obama administration will no doubt claim that it was Thanksgiving weekend and that’s why the President didn’t issue a public response to any of these events. No doubt many Americans were to busy watching football and eating turkey to care about Iran’s claim that they nabbed 12 undercover CIA agents. But the President isn’t an ordinary American and contrary to popular belief the rest of the world doesn’t stop when we have a holiday. The President has no business issuing statements on the end of the NBA lockout when CIA agents are arrested in Iran, NATO is bombing Pakistan and the Muslim Brotherhood is rioting in Egypt, threatening to kill Jews and blowing up pipelines to Israel.

Obama has remained largely silent throughout the month of November. It served him well as his poll numbers climbed several points before he foolishly called the American people lazy at which point his numbers sharply declined. Last week his poll numbers rose a couple points, largely due to a yearly holiday good cheer bump.

The President cannot however remain silent while world events are blowing up all over the world. Particularly world events that Obama has direct involvement in. The European Union, the Euro in particular, are on the brink of collapse. That doesn’t require an American response. But when the President actively supports the overthrow of a ruler, as he did in Egypt, when our agents are arrested and when an organization that we more or less control is bombing countries we are not at war with, it requires a response from the President. So far we haven’t had any. Worse, the media is ignoring these dangerous situations.

The world is a dangerous place right now. We have a President who, when he isn’t choosing the wrong side to support, doesn’t do much of anything. Obama passively watches as world events put the United States in a more dangerous position. It is outrageous that a dozen CIA agents were arrested in Iran. Obama should be ashamed that this happened under his watch. It requires a response from the President. Instead we get nothing but a media blackout. Why? Why exactly is the media protecting the President from this horrible news?

The world is dangerous and Obama doesn’t seem to care. We have a President who we can count on to do nothing over the course of the next year to protect American interests abroad. Vladimir Putin is threatening to return the world to the Cold War, Obama you can bet will do and say nothing. The choice we have next year isn’t just going to come down to economics. Foreign policy is just as important. Our choice is going to come down to a President who hasn’t protected our interests abroad, has sided with the wrong people repeatedly and who doesn’t seem to care when our nation is undermined against a Republican candidate who will protect our interests abroad and not side with terrorists like the Muslim Brotherhood.

Obama’s War in Libya Now Illegal

June 20, 2011 Leave a comment

The unmitigated arrogance and lawlessness of President Obama has been on full display during the last week. Congress has demanded an explanation of the war in Libya. Under the War Powers Act the President must explain to Congress within 90 days why the military is being used in a particular operation. He must also ask for approval from Congress for continued military operations. The President’s response to Congressional demands for explanation in Libya is nothing short of outrageous.

Obama claims there is no war in Libya! Apparently dropping bombs and having CIA operatives on the ground does not constitute war in the mind of President Obama. Keep in mind, as a Senator Mr. Obama insisted the war in Iraq was “illegal.” Never mind of course that President Bush asked for and received Congressional authorization in Iraq under the War Powers Act prior to dropping the first bomb. Obama isn’t just a lawless socialist, he’s America’s first postmodern President.

President Obama has such a thirst for war in Libya that he overruled Justice Department lawyers who told him that he was violating the War Powers Act. This is an almost unheard of event. President’s almost always go along with the opinions presented by the Justice Department, especially so on matters such as the War Powers Act. But not President Obama, law doesn’t matter to this man. Not only does law not matter to Obama, neither does language. When language doesn’t work to his advantage, he simply denies language exists. It isn’t a war, it’s a kinetic military operation! Now apparently action in Libya isn’t kinetic, military or an opperation.

Congress is threatening to cut off funding for Obama’s illegal Libyan war. Congress should not only cut off funding but impeachment hearings should be held if Obama continues to drop bombs on Libya. This isn’t a matter of disagreement with the war we’re fighting against Libya. This is a matter of law. We cannot have a President that disregards both the Constitution and the War Powers Act. Only Congress may declare war and under the War Powers Act (passed in 1973 on an override of a Nixon veto) the President must seek Congressional approval for any conflict lasting more than 90 days. For the President to ignore the War Powers Act and continue fighting a war in Libya based on little more than a redefinition of war is an impeachable offense regardless of whether Libyan action is in America’s best interests or not.

What Obama really needs to explain is why we’re trying to assassinate Gaddafi and why this is important for American interests in the middle east. Furthermore, Obama has yet to explain who the rebels are that we’re fighting for. There is ample evidence that the rebels include members of al Qaeda. These are people who are fresh off of fighting our soldiers in Iraq. They have our soldiers blood stained on their hands, yet Obama is supporting them in Libya. Obama is indeed the first postmodern President. We’re at war with al Qaeda, no, we’ve always been friends with al Qaeda. It’s all very 1984.

Obama must be forced to follow the law in this matter. The War Powers Act is clear as to Obama’s duties under the law. Mr. Obama is not living up to his duties and no amount of redefining the word ‘war’ will change what is going on in Libya. Congress must defund the military operation in Libya. If they don’t, then the War Powers Act is irrelevant and will forever be ignored by this President and future Presidents.

Will Congress Have The Guts to Cut Libyan War Funding?

June 15, 2011 Leave a comment

Speaker John Boehner has given the President until Friday to explain himself concerning the war in Libya. Nearly three quarters of the House, including half of the Democrats, supported resolutions demanding answers about the Libyan war from the administration. The non-binding resolution gave the President 14 days, which expires on Friday. The President has done nothing to advice Congress about the war in Libya. If Obama refuses to inform Congress about Libya, then it will be up to Congress to defund the operation.

Libya was a mistake from the beginning. It lacked a clear focus and clear objective. Obama’s refusal to take the lead in Libya, letting France of all nations lead the effort, meant that victory was never going to be possible in Libya. Whatever victory may have been, that still hasn’t been explained.

Obama apparently stands against Col. Gaddafi, even though he’s the first President to meet with him and even though the Colonel has been an arms length ally since the first Bush administration. Obama apparently supports the rebels, whoever they are. We know the President supports the radical anti-Isarael, anti-American Muslim Brotherhood, he supported them in Egypt. The Brotherhood has been on record wanting to kill Gaddafi for years. But guess who else is fighting with the rebels against Gaddafi? Al Qaeda of course. Al Qaeda hates Gaddafi because he provided the US with information about them. So to be clear, we killed al Qaeda’s leader but we’re supporting their effort to overthrow Gaddafi. Such is ridiculous and clearly not well thought out.

Say what you will about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but the purpose and goals of those wars were always explained to the Congress and American people. Who we were fighting and why was never at issue because Bush always explained himself. Sometimes intelligence wasn’t very good, other times the Bush administration made mistakes or didn’t do a very good job. But even if we disagreed with what Bush was doing, we at least knew why we were there because Bush explained himself. Why then can’t Obama explain himself in Libya?

The Constitution is very clear, only the Congress may declare war. Congress, for better or worse, has delegated to the President the ability to go to war for 90 days without Congressional approval. At the end of those 90 days, it is up to Congress to declare war or pass some sort of resolution endorsing the war. Congress appears unwilling to support further action in Libya, certainly so if the President is secretive and won’t explain himself. Honestly, who does Obama think he is that he can start a war and not have to explain himself to Congress?

I hope that if the President refuses to meet Boehner’s deadline that Congress will defund the Libyan campaign. The war is pointless and riddled with contradictions. It does nothing for the United States in the middle east and it arguably hurts our position because we seem to be supporting the most radical elements of Islam. Congress needs to do its job and defund this war and prevent Obama from continuing action in Libya. It will be fascinating to see if the GOP has the guts to stand up to the President.

“Anti-War” Obama Secretly Bombs Yemen

June 9, 2011 Leave a comment

Our anti-war President is at it again, bombing yet another country. This time it’s Yemen, which is arguably worse than the war in Libya. At least in Libya, President Obama was upfront about what he was doing. In Yemen we’ve been dropping bombs for weeks and perhaps years without any comment from the President. Not even the War Powers Act authorizes this sort of military strike without Congressional knowledge or approval. Yet here is the anti-war President dropping bombs on a supposedly sovereign nation.

Some of the targets in Yemen appear to be legitimate American interests, such as attacking high ranking al Qaeda members. However some are at best questionable. For example the Obama administration has been trying to kill a cleric called Anwar al-Awlaki, who is an American citizen, for over a year. This action by the administration ought to make us at least a little bit uncomfortable. Here we have an American born citizen living in a foreign country who the US is trying to kill rather than capture and try as a criminal. No doubt Anwar al-Awlaki is probably a rotten creature and a criminal, but American citizens ought to be entitled to protections under the Constitution no matter how rotten they are.

The overriding problem with these actions is that Yemen is on the brink of revolution. The Islamic socialists, who we have supported in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, seek to overthrow the government currently led by President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Our actions, while supposedly in support of President Saleh, have the reverse effect on Yemen’s revolution on the ground. Especially so when Saleh has claimed for the last two years that the airstrikes have been conducted not by the US but by his own military. This has only increased tensions in the country, which would no doubt be made worse if Yemeni citizens knew the Obama administration was really responsible.

So here is the question that must be asked and which will not be answered by Obama. Is the administration actively supporting the revolution on the ground by engaging in these military strikes? Considering that the Obama administration supported the Muslim Brotherhood (who are now operating as the Freedom and Justice Party in Egypt)  and other Islamic socialists in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, is it out of the question for the Obama administration to support radical Islamic socialists in Yemen? It seems like that would be right up the ally for this administration. So then the question becomes how do these airstrikes play into Obama’s support for radical Islamic socialist revolutionaries?

Obama must know that Yemen has been on the brink of revolution for quite awhile. It’s no secret that President Saleh isn’t well liked and it’s no secret that radical Islam has quite a foothold in Yemen. We also know that President Obama’s foreign policy dictates that Islamic Socialist revolutionaries, supposedly fighting for freedom, democracy and justice, will be supported by the administration. I suspect Obama knows that airstrikes, either coming from the US or supposedly from Yemen’s air force, will undermine Saleh and ultimately support the Islamic socialist revolutionaries that Obama supports. In the meantime, Obama can pick up some foreign policy points if he can kill off members of al Qaeda at the same time.

No matter what Obama’s purposes in Yemen, it is outrageous that the American people do not know about this. This administration, and indeed no administration, has no business conducting secret wars without the knowledge of Congress or the American people. The War on Terror, which Obama denies we are even fighting, may very well take us to places like Yemen. But when the President authorizes air strikes against a nation, even if the attacks are aimed at our enemies in al Qaeda, the Congress and American people must be told. Obama is no anti-war President. He’s very much pro-war. Sadly he’s in favor of secret wars in Yemen and unauthorized wars in Libya.

Obama Seeks Unlimited War Power

May 21, 2011 Leave a comment

The War Powers Act allows the President 60 days to bomb the daylights out of a country before he needs Congressional authorization. President Bush received such authorization, which is essentially a declaration of war, before going into both Afghanistan and Iraq. We are approaching 60 days in Libya and President Obama has now declared that he doesn’t even have to ask for Congressional authorization because the US role in Libya is “limited.” So let’s be clear about this, President Obama believes that he can continue bombing any nation he wants for as long as he wants so long as the action is “limited.” Doesn’t that give the President complete and total dictatorial power over the military and war?

The so-called anti-war President is attempting to create a very dangerous precedent by continuing bombing past the 60 day War Powers authorization. What Obama is arguing for is unlimited war powers for the President, which is dangerous whether we’re talking about Obama or any other President. The War Powers Act already gives the President more power over war than he should have under the Constitution, Obama wants even more power. The question right now is what is Congress going to do about this? My guess is not much. And in not doing anything Congress is telling Obama, and all future Presidents, that they can bomb nations and use language such as “limited” in order to bypass the War Powers Act. Next thing you know we’ll be in a “limited” full scale war with a President arguing the War Powers Act doesn’t apply.

Beyond that issue, what are we to make of our “limited” role in Libya? If our role in Libya is so limited that we are basically a supporting bystander, why are we even bothering? Since when does the United States go to war and then sit on the sidelines while France does the bulk of the work? So far the war in Libya has been a complete failure. Gaddafi is still alive, the rebels aren’t any stronger than they were before the bombing and it’s clear that at best this is a stalemate. Worse, the rebels that we’re supporting include al Qaeda, whose leader we just killed. Doesn’t it strike anyone as odd that we’re supporting al Qaeda at the same time we’re killing its leader?

The war in Libya was an ill-conceived war that should be abandoned. There is no clear purpose for American involvement, the reasons given by Obama such as the Pan-Am bombing in the 80′s are moot in light of the fact that Gaddafi made peace with the US during the first Bush administration and actually met with Obama when he was President. We have no reason to be there, other than to support Obama’s allies in the Muslim Brotherhood. The same Muslim Brotherhood who wants Egypt to go to war with Israel, who supports Hamas, who has ties to Iran and historic ties to Hitler. Obama has allied himself with radical Islamic socialists, who are essentially an Islamic version of National socialism. Apparently his allies in the Brotherhood trump the Constitution, not to mention common sense.

Congress needs to control war power in accordance with the Constitution. Obama needs Congressional authorization, which is equivalent to a declaration of war, in order to continue forward in Libya. The President should not have unlimited power to bomb the nation of his choosing for an unlimited duration without receiving authorization from Congress, no matter how limited the President may believe his campaign is.

Arab Spring Erupts: Israel Under Attack On All Fronts

May 16, 2011 Leave a comment

The fruition of the grand Arab Spring has begun. With all its grand talk of democracy, the revolutions held in Egypt and the attempted revolutions elsewhere in the middle east haven’t given the people freedom, a better life or for that matter democracy. The goal of the revolutions was never democracy or freedom, the goal was to get rid of current regimes and install Islamic Socialist states with strong ties to Iran. Iran’s goal of course is to rid the world of Israel and create an Islamic caliphate if not throughout the world than at least throughout the middle east.

Over the weekend Israel came under attack by protesters seeking to illegally enter the country through Lebanon, Syria and Gaza. This has been the goal of the democracy protest organizers all along. Egypt is preparing to elect a leader from the Muslim Brotherhood, which of course has strong times to Hamas. Hamas wants Israel wiped off the face of the Earth. Keep in mind, Hamas is one of the bigger groups representing the Palestinians, a group that is apparently going to have a vote in the UN over whether to recognize Palestine as a state in September.

Israel is under attack on all fronts and there is no telling what Obama is going to do about it. The media is trumping up Obama’s foreign policy after the Osama killing but when it comes to actual foreign policy, the media has largely ignored his errors. Israel is facing attacks at their borders today, Hamas has been launching rockets into Israel for years. Now Israel is facing serious political attack at the UN. If the UN votes to give the Palestinians statehood, Hamas and other radical groups will be able to conduct full scale war against Israel and will be able to secure official backing by other Muslim states.

The big question is whether Obama will use America’s veto power at the UN. All indications seem to point towards him not  using the veto. This is a vote that is coming up in September, so there’s still time for Obama to do the right thing. But assuming he does not, Israel will be stuck responding to the UN’s creation of a Palestinian state. It likely will not be supportive of the UN’s actions, which of course the Muslims want. That will give Egypt and other Muslim states the excuse to in the very least break their peace agreements with Israel and at worse go to war with Israel.

The grand Arab spring that Obama and other leftists so joyfully welcomed is turning out to be little more than a preparation for war with Israel. The people in Egypt are no better off than they were under Mubarak, in fact polls indicate that they may be worse off. They’re essentially exchanging one tyrant for another. All of these protests and revolutions were little more than fronts for Iran backed groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s been amazing to watch American leftists get in bed with these people, all because of their mutual love of socialism and their hatred for Israel and the United States.

This summer is going to be very difficult on the foreign policy front. Israel is going to face increasing attacks and increasing political pressure to accept a Palestinian state. Hopefully they will resist because a Palestinian state will not be a peaceful state. The left-wing media will no doubt treat Israel like they’re the bad guy when in fact they are seeking to protect their citizens from war. We must recognize what’s going on here and reject the media and the left’s support for totalitarian Islamic socialist dictatorships masquerading as democracies. We must support the one free country in the middle east: Israel.

Obama Administration’s Photo Delay Destroys American Credibility

May 4, 2011 Leave a comment

The Obama administration can’t make a decision to save their lives and once again it is costing the United States credibility abroad. Obama deserves credit for ordering the Osama killing, though it apparently took him a day to decide to order it. The administration has now spent the better part of the week debating whether or not to release photographs of bin Laden’s dead body. The supposedly transparent Obama administration is apparently far more concerned with Muslim sensitivity than they are in ending the Osama chapter once and for all.

The administration should have released a photo on Sunday night. That would have proven once and for all that Osama is dead. Instead, it’s Wednesday morning and they still haven’t released a photo. The end result of not releasing a photo is that already skeptical Muslims are doubting the US story. Who can blame them considering there is no visual evidence of Osama’s death and they administration has changed the official story already. Osama apparently didn’t use his wife as a shield and he didn’t have a weapon, which is the opposite of what we were told on Sunday.

Since Obama announced that bin Laden was dead, thousands of fake Osama death photos have appeared on the internet. Any moron could have predicted this would happen. The problem here is that if Obama decides to release a photo, it will be just another photo at this point. Sure, it would be the ‘official’ photo but in a sea of fake photos an ‘official’ photo released days after the event loses credibility and power. Had Obama released a photo during his speech on Sunday, the US would have cornered the Osama death photo market and rendered all the fakes irrelevant, if not non-existent. Instead an official photo release will have to compete with all the fakes.

You may say that the official photo would trump all the fakes but that may not be the case. The Obama administration’s delay coupled with all the fake photos has caused skepticism in the radical Islamic world. Obama has opened the door to the cult of Osama bin Laden because he’s so concerned with offended people who will never be happy with anything the United States does. Obama could have shut the door on Osama by releasing photos on Sunday, instead the door is wide open to Islamic conspiracy theories which threaten to undo what was done. The cult of Osama could very well turn out to be worse than Osama alive.

The photo debate is just another in a long line of delays this administration has engaged in over the past two and a half years. They delay in responding to natural disasters, they delay in responding to oil spills, they delay in responding to international events, they delay in making military decisions, they delay in deciding to go to war with other countries and so on. President Obama can barely bring himself to make a decision in less than 24 hours, it’s a wonder that he was able to order the Osama killing in that amount of time. Never mind that it was entirely predictable that he could be confronted with an oppertunity to kill the guy.

The administration’s delay in releasing Osama’s photos once again hurts American credibility abroad. DNA evidence isn’t good enough for a part of the world that either doesn’t know what DNA is or doesn’t care. Only visual evidence will end Osama once and for all in their minds. By delaying Obama has opened the door for conspiracy nutters to declare that Osama isn’t dead. By delaying Obama has allowed thousands of fake Osama photos to appear online, which will only hurt the credibility of the official photo when it is released. These sorts of things may not matter to you or I because we believe Osama is dead and we will believe the official photo. But in a part of the world that distrusts the United States, Obama has played right into the radicals hands by not releasing a photo. It’s a real shame because killing Osama was a major triumph for an otherwise inept President.
