			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve wondered if President<a title="Obama's Bad Cairo Speech" href="http://thefreedomthinker.com/2009/06/04/obamas-speech-to-the-middle-east-in-cairo/" target="_blank"> Obama&#8217;s international speech in Cairo</a> was a <a title="Stupid Obama" href="http://thefreedomthinker.com/2009/06/10/was-president-obamas-speech-a-flop/" target="_blank">completely flop</a> or if it was in <a title="Obama NOT helping" href="http://thefreedomthinker.com/2009/06/09/did-president-obamas-middle-east-speech-help/" target="_blank">anyway helpful</a>. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s begining to look a lot like much more then Obama&#8217;s speeches but <a title="Obama's Horrible Foreign Policy Blunders" href="http://americanmissive.com/2009/06/14/jimmy-obama-and-the-iran-korea-crisis/" target="_blank">Obama&#8217;s entire foreign policy is bad</a>.  Let&#8217;s count the following way&#8217;s Obama&#8217;s foreign policy is turning out bad:</p>
<ul>
<li>His silly blunders like giving bad gifts to the English Prime Minister are of course well documented.</li>
<li>His <a title="Obama the Failure" href="http://www.rushmoredrive.com/LatestNews/EU_reluctant_to_follow_Obama_on_Afghan_initiative.aspx?ArticleId=1334206939142212511" target="_blank">failure to gather support</a> for his Afgan initiative in Europe (one among many failures) really started things off badly though.</li>
<li>Then next thing we know <a title="Obama's Communist Friend" href="http://thefreedomthinker.com/2009/04/20/obamas-new-friend-hugo-chavez/" target="_blank">Obama&#8217;s Buddy Hugo Chavez</a> is <a title="Obama's Friend Helps Iran" href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3642061,00.html" target="_blank">helping Iran</a>.</li>
<li><a title="Russia Stop's Buying Treasuries" href="http://caps.fool.com/Blogs/ViewPost.aspx?bpid=210267&amp;t=01006124249416869148" target="_blank">Russia slows up the buying of our Treasury bills</a> right when we need it the most (I guess the badly translated gifts to Russia didn&#8217;t help us much there).</li>
<li><a title="Obama's Wasted Opportunity" href="http://thefreedomthinker.com/2009/05/26/president-obamas-opportunity/" target="_blank">North Korea&#8217;s great opportunity for Obama</a> is quickly <a title="Obama's Failure" href="http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2906143" target="_blank">disintegrating into a mesh of failure</a>.</li>
<li><a title="Nut Job Re-elected" href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/06/15/iran.elections.world.reaction/" target="_blank">Iran re-elects</a> (not like their elections are free to begin with) a nut job anti-freedom, anti-American, anti-semitic, nuclear bomb loving &#8220;president&#8221; (read: figure head for Ali Khamenei).</li>
</ul>
<p>This brief list is just a taste of Obama&#8217;s failures.  Keep in mind he&#8217;s only had 6 months or so in office so we&#8217;re just getting started.  Once countries like China and Russia use their lap dogs like North Korea and Iran to truly test out Obama by trampling our views, making nuclear weapons, and laughing all the way to the bank then the world will know Obama&#8217;s full ineptness at foreign policy, his weakness, the lack of resolve of America, and our own moral decay at not standing up for ourselves and our allies.  It is then we are going to be in for some serious hurt.  I wonder if he&#8217;ll get ANYTHING right in foreign policy before it&#8217;s over.  He needs to hide in the White House and keep his mouth shut for rest of his time in office before he winds up getting us into WWIII.   This guy is a serious DANGER!!!</p>

<p><a title="Iran Capable of Reaching New York?" href="http://www.mesi.org.uk/DangersMap.aspx" target="_blank">Look at this</a>, it turns out it&#8217;s far enough for the leading country of nut job Muslims Jihadist&#8217;s to reach into Isreal and more&#8230; </p>
<p>So, far little seems to be being done about the <a title="Obama failing his opportunity?" href="http://thefreedomthinker.com/2009/05/26/president-obamas-opportunity/" target="_blank">whole North Korea thing</a>.  Seems like a green light for Iran to go on and start missile testing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>&#8220;North Korea defied world powers and carried out an underground test Monday of a nuclear bomb Russian officials said was comparable to those that obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”<br />
     <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D98DCSF00&amp;show_article=1" target="_blank">Associated Press</a>, May 25, 2009.<br />
     Hat tip: <a title="Nuclear Proliferation" href="http://americanmissive.com/2009/05/26/kim-jung-il-detonates-the-n-bomb-is-meeting-directly-without-preconditions-now-failed-policy/#comment-2299" target="_blank">AmericanMissive.com</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Today and tomorrow President Obama has an opportunity &#8211; deal strictly and harshly with North Korea. </p>
<p>Liberals and peace loving democrats mount up!  North Korea is arming itself.  Nuclear proliferation is on the rise.  Michael Moore it&#8217;s time for another documentary this time on the evils of nuclear weapons and their proliferation! Jane Fonda it&#8217;s time to head overseas and protest the aggression of rogue nations! </p>
<p>It is a time of opportunity.  Will North Korea be allowed to arm itself and proliferate nuclear weapons.  For decades the West has been disarming and dismantling nuclear weapons at the behest of peace and liberal ideology.  This aggression should not be allowed to stand.  Obama can use North Korea as an example of how liberal democratic ideals halt nuclear proliferation. </p>
<p>None of what I mention above will happen.  I predict a lot of talk and some UN (meaningless) paper resolutions.  As the world looks on they (Iran, Syria, and others) will realize that nuclear proliferation treaties are meaningless and while Obama is head of the world police state the police are on a (4 to 8 year) donut break. </p>
<p>No action will be taken.  We will see further increase in nuclear states.</p>
<p>Today is Obama&#8217;s opportunity.  But I fear the world has just gotten more dangerous.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s funny how the day after North Korea launches a rocket over Japan with Iran in attendance for the launch.  The U.S. announces dramatic spending cuts in the military.   The way to show strength is not to cower in the face of aggression.  Yes, sometimes it&#8217;s better to turn the other cheek and sometime it&#8217;s better to walk away.  But sometimes it&#8217;s best to standup to the bully.  I guess the U.S. doesn&#8217;t even like to pretend to be strong anymore.</p>
<p>UPDATE:  I didn&#8217;t look at the details of the claim &#8220;cut in military spending&#8221;.  We may not be cutting military spending all that dramatically.  It is the issue of the timing of the announcement for diplomatic reasons and appearance reasons.  This was bad timing.  As to the military spending I&#8217;m going to have to look into that more.</p>
