SCREW the Apology…It’s NOT the Real Issue!

In Afghanistan this morning, violence regarding the Koran burning continues. More than 30 people have been killed and among them, 4 U.S. Soldiers. This morning, a suicide bomber drove a car into the gates at Jalalabad Airport killing 9 people.

This, apparently, is all in response to the burning of 4 Korans.

Those Korans had notes written in them which, as we’ve been told, related to actions to be taken, possible attacks and so on. Those notes were being written and passed between prisoners. The Korans were removed, burned, and the ashes apparently sent to a dump.

Word got out as to the disposal methods and all of a sudden, riots break out in the streets.

Obama, after but one or two days, issued an apology to Afghanistan and Karzai.

Karzai, for HIS part, has both demanded public trials for those who burned the already defiled Korans and has called for calm in television appearances.

Among conservatives, the Obama apology as become a focal point. GOP candidates have seized upon it, conservative bloggers have seized upon it…pundits and commentators have seized upon it too.

If you’ve read The National Patriot before, you know I’m a big picture guy. I like to stand back far enough to see the whole picture; and in this case, when that tact is taken, the focus shifts away from the apology and onto to something much more important.

What is fueling the Afghanistan violence? Obama’s apology?

Give Iran Exactly What They’re Asking For

It’s time to connect the dots in regard to Iran – and since Obama refuses to do it, we will.

Obama’s podium puppet, Jay Carney stated that, “There is time and space for diplomacy to work, for the effective sanctions to result in a change of Iranian behavior, an agreement by Iran to live up to its obligations, to engage in negotiations to resolve this matter peacefully.”

Bull.

Someone needs to explain to this Alice in Wonderland administration that we have no diplomatic relations with Iran. In fact, we haven’t had diplomatic relations with Iran since 1980 and we have had a trade embargo against them since 1995.

Really? There is time and space for diplomacy to work? We’re talking about Iran here. The only way diplomacy works is if both parties involved have an interest in diplomacy; and guess what? Iran doesn’t.

Iran decided diplomacy with the United States was finished in 1979 as they took 52 Members of our Embassy in Tehran hostage and held them for 444 days – and here’s a little something else the great pretender needs to get a grip on…Those hostages were NOT released via diplomacy or because their behavior changed as a result of sanctions.

Israeli Action vs Obama’s Inaction

Not since Jimmy Carter was in office has an American administration so lacked the political will to engage either our enemies or the enemies of our allies.

With the clock ticking between Israel and Iran, Obama seems much more inclined to try and stop any Israeli action than to force Iran into compliance.

Yes, Obama is enacting sanctions – but sanctions don’t work against such an ideology as Iran’s. If sanctions, even strict sanctions, have any effect at all, it isn’t noticeable for years; and rarely, if ever, even after years of implementation, do sanctions have the desired effect.

Anyone who believe sanctions will keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons would also be apt to believe in rainbow farting unicorns.

In reality, the sanctions pave the way for Iran to “claim” a desire to talk at which point they will make ransom demands for halting their nuclear weapons program while continuing their nuclear weapons program.

National Security Adviser, Tom Donilon, just ended several days of talks IN Israel. Along with Netanyahu, Donilon also had talks with Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Chief of the General Staff Benny Gantz, and National Security Adviser Gen. Yaakov Amidror.

With Iran ramping up THEIR efforts to develop nuclear weapons and with their near non-stop calls for Israel to be eliminated, sanctions in play against Iran, Iran stating they will cease oil shipments to France, Iranian agents trying to kill Israel diplomats in various countries, Iran’s threats to bring THEIR form of terror attacks to OUR nation, a plot regarding the Iranian assassination of Saudi diplomats on OUR soil uncovered last year…

Israel vs Iran – Whose Play Are We Backing?

As allies, Israel and the United States should be so close together one could not slip a single sheet of paper between the two.

In the face of Iranian threats against Israel, that piece of paper should be reduced in thickness by a property of ten and still not fit between the nation of Israel and the United States.

Should we act on behalf of Israel? No. Israel is perfectly capable to act on their own and  they have never once asked us to defend them, act for them or take the lead in their issues.

None the less, we should be there, with them, side by side never flinching, never blinking.

As things now stand, this is not the case.

Last week, in reported comments, Leon Panetta made that abundantly clear.

URGENT BREAKING…OBAMA ASKS FOR TALKS WITH IRAN???

In what will only be seen as a direct and clear sign of weakness, reports have leaked of a letter sent by Obama to Iran asking for direct talks regarding Iran’s nuclear program and the issues surrounding the Strait of Hormuz!!

Iran, which weeks ago, became the recipient of a top secret drone which went astray and landed itself in pristine condition I Iran, yesterday taunted Obama by offering to send a plastic toy model of the drone to the white house.

In a previous and clear sign of weakness, Obama has asked Iran to return the drone but refused to either destroy it or attempt to retrieve it.

Patriots…IRAN HAS OBAMA AND THE UNITED STATES EXACTLY WHERE THEY WANT HIM AND US!!!

Iran is currently holding a former Marine on charges of spying and has sentenced him to death. They have the drone. They are now refining uranium. Ahmadinejad has been traveling and joking with Chavez and Castro about HAVING a nuke and USING it against the United States.

Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz.

Last week, the U.S. called off joint naval operations with Israel.

NOW, IF REPORTS OF THIS LETTER FROM OBAMA TO IRAN PROVE TRUE…

IRAN IS LAUGHING AT THE UNITED STATES AND THE WEST IN GENERAL!!!

With Iran, Obama is in WAY Over his Head

Whatever is happening inside Iran, one thing is clear.

Crystal clear.

That is, that whatever is happening inside Iran is completely unclear.

Over the last few weeks, Iran has threatened to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has said, OH NO YOU WON’T.

Sanctions have been put in place. More sanctions have been threatened.

Iran has said THEY have started the process of enriching uranium in an underground facility.

Ahmadinejad has been making smiles and nice with Chavez and Castro.

Behind the scenes, we hear reports that Obama and his administration is trying to tell Israel NOT to attack Iran.

We hear reports that Obama and his administration has told China that “we can’t hold Israel off” forever.

Iran is apparently holding and has sentenced to death an American with dual Iranian citizenship because the so called spy was visiting his grandmother yet Iran claims a nuke scientist who was killed in a car bombing was assassinated by the CIA…or Israel…or somebody.

Going to Iran to Visit Your Grandmother? Good Luck With That

Iran says that Amir Mirzaei Hekmati, a “former” Marine (those of who know, know there is no such thing as a FORMER Marine) is a CIA spy and after a quick trial, they have sentenced him to death.

Hekmati has 20 days to appeal.

I say Hekmati is something quite different but what that is depends on to whom you relate his status.

To understand this, we must go back to the first sentence of this article.

Iran says Amir Mizraei Hekmati, a “former” Marine is a CIA spy.

The key word in that sentence is… “Says.”

They SAY he’s a spy. But what is he REALLY? To THEM…What is Hekmati REALLY?

This I believe is more reflective of reality.

To Iran, Amir Mirzaei Hekmati is a bargaining chip.

Iran is facing stiff sanctions from the United States and a naval presence near the Strait of Hormuz. This, of course, is in response to Iran’s growing nuclear program which, as we learned a month or so ago, is two years or less from developing a nuclear weapon.

The Federal Government and King George

This article is an exploration on many of the charges listed in the Declaration of Independence against King George and how they apply to the Federal Government.  I had been thinking of this for quite some time, as had many others before me apparently.  There are a few decent articles written on this subject on the internet, from which I have gained some inspiration.  I purposefully tried to eliminate the idea that our current “President” has committed the same offenses and rather decided that the behemoth of our Federal Government is at fault.

The reason it is at fault can be summed up in the Declaration of Independence.  The condition of American society with regard to the power the Federal Government has on all of us shows “that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”  This is just as true today as it was over 200 years ago.  It is not just the fault of the President, but of the government as a whole.  The checks and balances system is broken, and few have the moral compass to keep the nation pointed in the right direction even if it means they will not see another term.  We have become accustomed to Federal involvement in our daily lives.  Whereas the Constitution used to provide the guidepost to which all politicians used to face, it is now carved up, interpreted and reinterpreted to justify any and all actions against liberty.

With that, I give you the following charges against King George, and the actions of the Federal Government that mirror the justification of those charges (not inclusive of all charges, just the ones I could justify):

IAEA Report Details LEAKED and Iran IS Almost Ready to go NUCLEAR

The situation between Israel and Iran has taken another turn for the worse. We knew it was coming and now we have some degree of confirmation.

The IAEA report regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions comes out tomorrow – but already, some general details of that report are leaking out and the picture is not pretty.

Tomorrow’s report will talk about how Iran has a missile, the Shahab 3, which can reach from Iran to Israel. Many who have been steadfastly insisting that Iran poses no direct threat to Israel because they have no weapon with the range to hit Israel will be proven wrong. Iran does indeed possess that range but that’s not the worst of it.

Iran has also, according to the IAEA report, apparently found a way to fit such a missile with a nuclear warhead.

Obama’s Latest Foreign Policy FAIL

“Seal Target Geronimo” is the name of a new book by Chuch Pfarrer. Geronimo, as you will remember, was the code name for bin Laden during the raid in Pakistan which killed him. In this book, Pfarrer describes, among other things, how this raid likely went down.

Pfarrer should know what he’s talking about too.

Chuck Pfarrer is a former Navy Seal, but that’s not the end of it. While not personally involved in the bin Laden raid, Pfarrer used to be with Seal Tem Six as an Assault Element Commander and I suspect, he has some pretty spot on contacts.

According to the author, it is most likely that the shot that took bin Laden out came within 2 minutes of the time those Seals broke through the front door of that compound.

That’s not what caught my eye.
