North Korea Tests Obama

Joe Biden told us there would be a test within six months. I personally believe there will be many tests because Obama has a spine of jelly rather than steel. Every rogue nation will attempt something to see just how far they can go. Unfortunately, they will meet little resistance.
North Korea launched a rocket as part of a test. The country claims it was launching a satellite and they claimed success despite the fact that those tracking it said it fizzled out and made a splash in an ocean. North Korea, unaware of the modern world and its capabilities, expects people to believe its claim that the satellite is in space and broadcasting data and patriotic music.
Obama is upset (as is Japan because the missile went over that country). All the players are asking the UN for sanctions on North Korea. What exactly will that accomplish? North Korea is poor. They have nothing. At night they have no lights, they have little or no food and water and they live in absolute poverty. The country is already sanctioned and has been for quite some time. What more will sanctions do?
I have heard the opinions about shooting down the rocket. I was not opposed to that idea. I figured we could track it and if it looked like a threat we could shoot it down. As it stands right now, we know North Korea has a way to go because its rocket fizzled out. However, if the satellite had made it into orbit I would have been more inclined to shoot it down then. That would have really burst their bubble.
We should recover it and see what the payload actually was. As for sanctions, they will not work. The UN has no testicular fortitude and the people there will be lining up to find a way to get rich by ignoring the sanctions. Oil for food and all that. Besides, the UN is not interested in punishing bad countries. That organization is much happier when it goes after good countries and leaves the bad ones alone. How many times do we have to see them blame Israel for the attacks against her to realize that?
In any event, if this is the big test then I think it is not much of one. Iran will have nukes before long and then we will see how the sainted one responds. He will have to decide what to do with a nuclear Iran while he is removing nuclear weapons from our arsenal.

Quote from an article on Human Events called
“Liberal Isolationism”
The Financial Times reports that the Obama administration’s review of our policy toward Iran is considering whether we should accept Iran as a nuclear-armed nation given our inability to talk them out of their nuclear ambition. But a nuclear-armed Iran is not the same as a nuclear-armed Britain or even a nuclear-armed Russia. Iran is center of Islamic terrorism in the world, its principal perpetrator and sponsor. Its deployment of nuclear weapons is vastly more dangerous to us and all our allies than even a nuclear-armed al-Queda.
1930s all over again. Hitler didn’t have nuclear bombs though.
My opinion is that Obama is sly and cunning. He is out to destroy America. He says the US never was and never will be at war with the Muslims. What gives him the right to make decisions against the safety of the American people? If the Muslims set out to destroy us, believe me, I would have no trouble destroying them. There are good Muslims, but they all read the Koran, which tells them to kill infidels. Also, does he really believe that other countries will destroy their nuclear weapons? I don’t think so.
If O’bama really believes that we can live in a nuclear free world, we need to get him out of office because he will have been proved to be terminally stupid. Does anyone truly believe that all countries would destroy their stockpiles of missiles?
Once the Pandora’s Box was opened, you can’t get the troubles back inside, and I would not disarm, when we still have so many enemies out there. All these Socialists who believe in trans- nationalism, that is one world, without borders, really need to think about human nature. Combine that with national pride, and then mix well with religion, and you have a gumbo of reasons why it will never work.
As to N. Korea or Iran getting nukes- N.K. already has them, so not a lot can be done but watching and explaining the MAD scenario ( Mutually Assured Destruction) to the N. Koreans. The Iranians are another matter entirely.
They would probably feel that giving a bomb to a terrorist group would absolve them of responsibility, but we would know who made it, and the MAD scenario would still apply.
The problem becomes judging who is sane enough that we don’t have to worry so much about an accidental (ha- that’s a laugh) discharge.
The real danger here is that O’bama will dismiss the seriousness of the situation- so far, from what I have been able to observe, O’bama feels that his mouth is adequate to defuse any situation, and that his words can smooth the angry waters.By the time the situation has escalated past the point of no return, O’bama will not have any idea of what to do, because he was obviously born with Lubner’s Disease (born without a spine), and he doesn’t believe in a robust military.
You can see this in the ongoing piracy thing, where the captain has been kidnapped- O sends the FBI- this is not a criminal case, this is piracy, and this is the Navy’s concern. Let the Navy do its job.
