We are now starting to reap the reward of having a President who has no foreign policy experience and who has advisers who have even less experience. Barack Obama gave his first interview after taking office to an Arab TV network rather than an American TV network. Now, this would not be bad if he had taken a stance toward terrorism like George W. Bush. He took the attitude of most liberals which is: “can’t we all get along?”
Arabs are not likely to get along with someone who asks them the question, can’t we all get along? They believe that they can get along with someone who is strong. They will step on someone who they believe is weak. Someone who asks the question can’t we all get along; will find himself run over by terrorists.
Obama went on the network and said he had lived in Muslim countries and had Muslim relatives. He also said that there is little difference between good people around the world. All good people want the best for their families and friends. All good people want to live in peace and friendship. The problem with that message is he is dealing with a people that are taught from birth that all infidels (every non-Muslim is an infidel) are not worthy to live. This is especially true of the truly despicable infidels called Jews, as far as Muslims are concerned. People taught like this are not likely to get along with you unless they believe you will take off their head if they get out of line. If they believe you will not take off their head, they will take off your head.
The midget from Iran said that as soon as Iran gets a nuclear device he will wipe Israel off of the map. He wants to start a nuclear war. This nuclear war will bring in the 12th Imam who will institute Islam worldwide. The rulers of Iran do not care if they live or die. They believe in this 12th Imam and his ability to bring about Muslim rule. They also believe that the 12th Imam has to come into power through fire. Their interpretation of that prophecy is that the fire spoken about is nuclear fire. This is crazy talk. It is also the kind of people that will not listen to a President who is trying to talk “nice”. They will ignore the nice talk and start shooting.
Obama also believes that the center of the war against Islamo-Fascism is in Afghanistan. He has started moving troops from Iraq to Afghanistan to fight along the border with Pakistan. Afghanistan is the place that God designed where the powerful are brought to their knees. The British found out about that in the 19th century. The Russians found out about that in the 1980’s. Barack Obama is about to find out about that in 2009-2011. He will find out that we cannot put enough troops to control the area; there are too many valleys to hide the guerillas. The best way to fight in this region is how we have been fighting in this region, put in Special Forces to help the local War Lords control different areas. This keeps the truly bad guys, the Taliban, out of Afghanistan for the most part. We should not worry too much about who rules in Afghanistan as we cannot prop up any ruler there for very long. We should let the local people control who rules the country. If having a divided rule among many war lords is the way the Afghanistan people choose to be ruled, then so what. We should not try to be King Makers.
Barack Obama has a lot to learn about the world and how it works. The problem is he needs to have learned it by the time he was put in office. He is showing the world that he is not ready to lead. How many good Americans will die because this man is not ready is not known at this time, but many will die. I hope that it is very few, but I could easily be wrong. We voted this man into office, now we get to pay the price for his education. Unfortunately, the price is American blood.
