Don't worry, be happy

In these trying times for those whose retirement plans are in ruins after the markets' crash, and global climate change accelerates, there is some good news. We no longer have to worry about the economy or environment.

The Great Obama, whose middle name is “Appeasement”, is still inviting the ruling theocratic tyrants of Iran to debate global responsibility and democratic reforms. Iran will therefore gain the nuclear weapons they crave with no further hindrance (actually, some reports today are identifying 2 recent earthquakes in Iran as nuclear tests). Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups with names that change daily but who all have similar aims, will be the beneficiaries of these weapons, and they will use them. Iran will thus maintain plausible deniability, yet still hopefully (in their eyes) hasten the “return of the Mahdi”. Once the a few warheads have been lobbed at Israel, and Iran has distributed nukes to its terrorist allies for use elsewhere, then retirement and pollution are not going to be major worries for those of us living in democracies. At that time, the economy, healthcare, abortion rights and green programs will pale into insignificance. So, don’t worry about your disappearing retirement, be happy and just enjoy yourself now.

Hamas' (Final) Solution

It is simple how the current problems in Gaza can be solved. Hamas can stop its deliberate targeting of Israeli civilians which number over 10,000 missiles in the past 8 years, and more than 500 in the so-called recent truce. Israel will not have to finally respond, and will stop targeting the Hamas terrorists that hide amongst the Arab civilians of Gaza. The UN can assist by not employing Hamas members on its staff and allowing use of UN resources. After that, having seized control of Gaza by violent means, Hamas should concentrate on creating the theocratic state that they claim they yearn for. Hamas are the ones who have a solution, although they are the ones who want a Final Solution.

Climate Disconnect

There seems to be a disconnect between macro and micro governments’ statements and actions recently.

Governments, Al Gore and David Suzuki all tell us that cars contribute to pollution, greenhouse gases and therefore global warming, which is apparently a bigger threat to the earth than Iranian nuclear missiles. They also say we have too many cars, leading to congestion and therefore we must be taxed in the future for the privilege of using private vehicles. Thus, we need to cut back on private travel, garbage is going to be collected once every 2 weeks, and postal service will be once a day only on weekdays, but not to one’s door. By the way, North American car companies, please take $40 billion to continue to make shoddy second-rate vehicles in an inefficient and costly manner compared to your competitors.

He is not the Messiah

It seems that most of the world’s population regard B H Obama as a Messiah. Apparently, he is going to redeem the historic sins of others, create new non-polluting energy sources and deliver democracy to all corners of the earth by dint of his great rhetoric. All this, from a man who has never held a job in the real world.

He is not the Messiah, he is a very consummate politician and a very naughty boy.

Umbrella - Rihanna's or Obama's?

Obama’s nuclear umbrella plan is stupid on so many levels. Perhaps, he has been listening to Rihanna’s Umbrella song and he has based his strategic understanding on the lyrics. Any Israeli government going along with it, would also be grossly negligent. Let's look at what America and Israel have to lose.

America

• Attack on Israel will not come directly from Iran. Therefore no response will be possible because there will be plausible deniability. Attack will come from a terrorist group handed the weapons surreptiously by Iran, and either Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad (as if there is any other sort of jihad), or a newly named terrorist group will launch it from the borders of Gaza, Lebanon or Judea/Samaria. Therefore, the USA and Israel will be unable to say definitively that Iran attacked, and a response’s rationale would be undermined.
• Why would the USA attack Iran in any event? The attack is not on them, so why would the US populace open itself to attack?
• Iran’s leaders do not care about a US response. It is part of their doomsday belief, and they have stated it will bring about the return of the hidden Imam. They don’t care if Iran is destroyed, their first loyalty is to Islam and they wish for a judgment day. A nuclear attack is no threat to them, and the men that die can go off to heaven as martyrs to enjoy their virgins in eternal sexual bliss.
• In any event, given Islam’s bloody borders, does the free world really want Iran producing nuclear weapons to hand out to their designated terrorists? This gives them a free hand to carry on with the production.

Israel

• Forgoing the sovereign right of a nation to defend itself
• Israel’s tiny size means it cannot afford to take a nuclear hit and survive in a radioactive landscape
• Israel would be trusting America to respond when then is no real advantage to the USA. It will be too late to call the USA on a failure to respond, because the damage would already be done.

No handcuffs in Afghanistan

We keep hearing of brave NATO troops murdered in Afghanistan mainly by sneaky IEDs. Strategic reports indicate that NATO is losing ground to the Taliban, is it not time that the handcuffs are taken off our soldiers?

This is a war, and should not be fought as a peacekeeping mission to win hearts and minds. The Taliban brutalizes village after village, and after torture, wipes out those who do not aid them. It is time that the NATO forces show that there is a price to be paid for co-operating with terrorism, and that handing out candies is not an adequate response to sneak attacks. It is time that the defenders of democracy are allowed to go after the support mechanisms of the bullies who base their operations in mosques, schools, hospitals and homes. It may be harsh, but war is a nasty business and cannot be won by being nice.

If NATO is not allowed to fight properly, we will continue to see an attrition of lives lost to booby traps and ambushes, and there is no point in continuing this strategy that cannot win. In that case, withdraw from Afghanistan, and raze from above those areas from which terrorism is formulated, financed and dispatched. NATO has the air power to do it. In the long run, more soldiers and innocents will be saved than the soft approach.

Hispanic trend in the US election of Obama

Just as Spain’s electorate rewarded those that did harm to its country, so the American electorate did the same. A sneak attack on civilians and financial infrastructure has eventually led to the current turmoil in the US. To solve their troubles, US voters turned their backs on John McCain, a good man who sacrificed his body and health for their country, and instead looked towards a man who asks what their country can sacrifice for him. McCain historically voted on what is best for the USA and democracies, and was not hindered by ideological biases.

Whilst I have sympathy for some of Obama’s proposed domestic policies, the dangers emanating from Iran, North Korea and a resurgent Russia make Obama the wrong choice at this critical time. Appeasing the undemocratic bodies swamping the UN, and then imposing additional tax burdens and spending on US citizens in the midst of an economic crash are quite simply, catastrophic policies. The Western World is still picking up the pieces from the inept reign of Jimmy Carter, and if we survive it, we will also be picking up the pieces of the global economy and security from Obama’s reign 30 years hence.

US economic power could easily be damaged beyond repair by the proposed actions of Obama. Britain did not negotiate with Germany during WWII when things were dire, and yet the Allies are about to negotiate with the evil that is the Taliban in Aghanistan. This is not the time for a soft President, but to the delight of jihadis everywhere, the candidate they wish for is the next President of the USA. The end is nigh for democracies.
