Obama is an appeasing 'useful idiot' to Islam & America's enemies (Part 2)

By Bob Kemp

When Mr. Obama bowed down to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, it was a premeditated act, signifying his willingness and cooperation to place the American people under his authority. King Abdullah is not just the king of Saudi Arabia; he is the embodiment of Islam. He is the defender of Mecca and Medina, the two holiest sites in all Islam. His government pays for the establishing and building of Mosque's around the world to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. If Mr. Obama wanted to demonstrate his willingness to appease Islam, he could not have chosen a better way to do it. The White House has said in Mr. Obama's defense that he simply bowed a little because he is taller than King Abdullah and was going to give a two-handed handshake. Have you ever witnessed Mr. Obama bow to anyone else shorter than he? Not Gordon Brown, nor anyone else. And as far as the two-handed handshake; according to the video, it did not happen. No, Mr. Obama knew exactly what he was doing and why. He was placing himself, as President of the United States, under Islamic religious authority. He knew it, the king knew it, and everyone in the room knew it. Now, the world knows it. Mr. Obama, your acts betray your thoughts.

A national leader especially an American president does not bow to any person. Mr. Obama, the United States fought a war for independence from a king so the American people would not have to bow down to any man. We are a people of fierce independence, self-reliance, and self-determination. These values have been forged over the centuries in many crucibles. These crucibles were not always of our own making, but we endured the heat, made the personal sacrifices, and marched to the beat of our own drum. We did this to defeat those that would destroy our liberties, our freedoms, and place us under their yoke, and we will not bow down. This is the great thing about America and Americans; we would rather die on our feet that live on our knees. And we will not join you in bowing to King Abdullah, or any other man.

We have been given the privilege and blessing of determining our nations own course through self government, and not following the course of other nations. Indeed, other nations, in times past, having witnessed the greatness and success of the United States brought about by free enterprise and an aggressive capitalistic market place, have embarked on improving their way of life by emulating what we have done here. The United States has been the destination of countless millions of people from all around the world that have desired better for themselves and their children. We welcome those that legitimately and legally enter our land, desiring U.S. citizenship, embracing our laws, our values, and our language with no agenda of changing Americans to suit their needs, but learning and embracing what it is to be a free American. The United States has become the nation that draws those that want to escape bowing to a king to her shores. People of independent will, resourceful attitudes, and hunger for freedom have come to the United States for centuries; not to subjugate themselves to a king, but to rid themselves of just such tyrannical governments that keep their boot on the necks of its population, letting them up only long enough to lick that boot before they feel the weight of it pressing down on them again. And we will not bow down, we will not fall back, we will not give another inch in surrendering freedom, liberty, or independence, for the sake of those that fought and died for these principles, for our sakes, and the sakes of generations to come that are relying on us. American sovereignty must be paramount for every American, and every American president.

When speaking in Turkey, Mr. Obama said, "We (Americans) do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." Obviously Mr. Obama has been reading revisionist American history and is out of touch with the common man whom he proclaims to speak for.

The laws of our nation were founded on the Ten Commandments Mr. Obama, not the Koran. The majority of our nation's founding fathers were Christian, not Muslim. Fifty-five of the fifty-seven signers of the Declaration of Independence were Christian men, and active in their churches. These are simply the FACTS of the matter Mr. Obama, and you are wrong. The United States has always been a Christian nation in respect to our laws, religious observances, and even the motto on our money, In God We Trust. Until recently, the Ten Commandments have been prominently displayed in court and school buildings. Every president and the vast majority of other elected officials have taken their oath of office with one hand on a bible as you yourself did, and even finished your oath with the words "So help me God," which was something George Washington added under his own initiative. So I ask you Mr. Obama, did your oath have any meaning to you, or was it just words, part of a ritual in your mind? When you swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, did you mean it? If you meant it, then why are you engaged in undermining the sovereignty of the United States at so many levels?

Mr. Obama continues to create stress between the United States and Israel by pandering to Muslims in other ways. His rhetoric in Turkey was designed to try and bring understanding between Muslims and Jews, asking both sides to try and accept each other. He said, "In the Muslim world, the notion that somehow everything is the fault of the Israelis lacks balance because there are two sides to every question." He added his Jewish friends "have to see the perspective of the Palestinians. Learning to stand in someone else's shoes, to see through their eyes...this is how peace begins." He has a bad habit of forgetting the Muslims want the Jewish nation (both as a country and a people) of Israel annihilated, and the Jews want the Palestinian's out of their land. Mr. Obama appointed George Mitchell as special envoy to the Middle East, thereby moving the responsibilities for negations for peace in the Middle East closer to the White House and further away from the State Department where it has always been.

Mr. Obama's determination to open up dialogue and build a bridge of mutual trust between Islam and the United States is problematic as long as the U.S. continues to be a close supporter of Israel. Past administrations, both Democratic and Republican, have always placed importance on the "special relationship" between the U.S. and Israel. While Mr. Obama's speeches have been favorably received by Muslim nation as he works to build confidence in changing American policy toward such nations, Israel is concerned about the change in tone. This can be seen in Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's comments about a nuclear Iran, as well as recent and planned IDF exercises designed to defend their homeland if war does come soon.

Prime Minster Netanyahu gave an interview to Atlantic Magazine several weeks ago. In it, he made it abundantly clear the he believes a nuclear Iran is a threat not only to Israel, but to the U.S. and the rest of the world. "You don't want a messianic apocalyptic cult controlling atomic bombs. When the wide-eyed believer gets hold of the reins of power and the weapons of mass death, then the entire world should start worrying, and that is what is happening in Iran." Prime Minister Netanyahu has also stated recently that if the United States does not do something to stop the Iranian nuclear threat, Israel will.

The Obama administration seems to think Israel is a puppet of the United States, not a sovereign nation. On many subjects the Obama administration is attempting to control and direct Israeli policy involving it's interaction with other nations. While Israel has in the past been America's strongest ally in the Middle East, and Israel has benefited from its relationship with the U.S., Israel is none-the-less an independent nation, and is not afraid to act as one.

Mr. Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu are at odds on several important issues. Prime Minister Netanyahu plans to visit Washington in May. Ahead of this visit, the Obama administration has been briefing Congress on its position regarding establishing a Palestinian state. Mr. Obama fears the PM Netanyahu will try to build up support in Congress against his policies. A part of those policies is a freezing of Jewish construction in the West Bank. The West Bank borders Jerusalem and is within rocket range of Tel Aviv and Israel's international airport. The Palestinians want to establish a state in Gaza, the West Bank, and eastern Jerusalem, including the Old City and Temple Mount. Opposing the Obama administration, PM Netanyahu wants to bulldoze Palestinian homes that were illegally built on Jewish land in Silwan, eastern Jerusalem, close to the Temple Mount and Jerusalem's Old City. But the Obama administration opposes this fearing it will only add to an already tense situation. The Palestinian's are claiming this area for a future capital. The Obama administration is also monitoring very closely Jewish construction in eastern Jerusalem and has filed protests with the Israeli government housing expansion in those areas. The monitoring is being conducted by a body based in the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem that closely monitors eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods and has regular daily tours in this area. Imagine for a moment a foreign nation trying to control urban development within your area. I believe PM Netanyahu has a right to be upset with the Obama administration over this.

As reported in the IsraelNationalNews.com (Arutz Sheva) on April 9, the Home Front Command is "getting ready for what is billed as the largest exercise in Israeli history in June." The training will be nationwide and last for a week. It is meant to prepare everyone in the event of a missile attack striking Israel at multiple locations throughout the country. Deputy Minister of Defense Matan Vilnai called the planned drill "just the tip of the iceberg." It is designed to raise awareness to the public, he explained, "It is preferable to be prepared than that there be another surprise in this area."

It was also reported in the same article that a joint American-Israeli anti-ballistic missile system "proved accurate and effective in an IDF test launch on Tuesday." The report went on to say, "In Tuesday's test, the Arrow II system was tasked with intercepting a missile modeled on the Iranian Shihab missile. The "red team" missile was launched over the Mediterranean Sea and successfully knocked out by the Arrow's anti-missile missile."

These types of war games are carried out every year, and with each succeeding year, the war games are ratcheted up a notch as the government continues to anticipate different scenarios in an ever changing hostile environment. The fact that the Israeli government is modeling the aggressor's missile on the Iranian Shihab missile tells you just exactly where they believe, based on Intel received, the biggest threat to Israel is coming from. They are preparing for what may be an inevitable outcome. Remember that it is Mr. Obama who is involved in talks of appeasement with a holocaust denying regime which has stated repeatedly it wants to see the absolute destruction of the nation of Israel while Israel is preparing for war.

On the same day Israel held its successful anti-missile exercise, a plot was revealed to smuggle nuclear weapons materials to Iran through unsuspecting New York banks. The Manhattan D.A.'s office exposed the plot and handed down a 118-count indictment accusing Chinese financier Lei Feng Wei of setting up fake companies to hide that he was selling millions of dollars in potential nuclear materials to Tehran.

The New York Daily News reported there were 33,000 pounds of specialized aluminum alloy used almost exclusively in long-range missile production, 66,000 pounds of tungsten copper plate used in missile guidance systems, and 53,000 pounds of maraging steel rods, a super-hard metal used in uranium enrichment and to make the casings for nuclear bombs.

Despite United Nations demands to stop its uranium enrichment program, Iran continues to move ahead with it while at the same time developing its own domestic missile capabilities, and working to acquire missiles from Russia and North Korea. In January 2007, The German Magazine Bild reported Iran has bought 18 BM-25 land-mobile missiles from North Korea. It has a range of 1,800 miles and according to Uzi Rubin, former head of the Arrow anti-missile program, the BM-25 "is a nuclear missile....There is no other warhead for this other than a nuclear warhead." In November Iran successfully test-fired the Sajjil, a solid-fueled high-speed missile with a range of 1,250 miles. It has also launched its Omid satellite. This is the same nation that Mr. Obama believes he can appease. Isolationists and pacifists believed that Hitler's imperialism could be appeased by territorial gains. Today, Mr. Obama believes Iran can be negotiated away from nuking Israel by concessions given to the PA and Hamas.

On Wednesday, April 8, the Obama administration announced it would engage the Islamist regime in talks. The next day, Tehran announced another milestone in its nuclear program. It had increased its uranium centrifuges, which are needed to refine weapons-grade atomic material, from 6,000 to 7,000, as well as tested a new, more advanced centrifuge.

While the U.S. talks and talks, Iran is developing the capability to nuke Israel. It is acquiring and building long-range missile technology it hopes to use to attack U.S. interests in the region with, and perhaps beyond. The Obama administration needs to pull its head out of the sand and pay attention to what is happening. Or, is it delaying taking any action on purpose. I have to ask. It is as if Mr. Obama does not have Israel's national interest in mind. He is not willing to listen to PM Netanyahu and Israeli Intel reports. And he continues to try to constrain Israel in foreign policy while at the same time encouraging Iran to behave irresponsibly.

It may also be that Iran has spotted a weakness in the American executive branch and are rushing to exploit the situation. While the U.S. talks, they will act! Iran may be under the impression that as long as the U.S. is engaged in talks, it is not planning military action. So now is the time to build up missile weapons. Iran is not a western nation. It is not even a Persian nation. It is a nation of Islamic radicalism that wants 21st century WMD. It is a nation bent on having a direct hand in bringing about the fulfillment of Islamic prophecy via bloodshed on a wholesale level. Was Sen. Dodd successful three years ago in his talks with Iran?

Radical Islam cannot be trusted under any circumstance. They have two modes of operation. They will lie to the west (and unbeliever) about their intent, or they will tell you exactly what they are going to do and then do it. History has proven this time and again. Iran practices both. Mr. Obama feels a certain kinship with the Iranian people because of his Muslim heritage. This conflict of interest creates a dangerous situation for not only the American people, but our allies.

For all we know Mr. Obama may be telling us one thing, while planning something completely different. I do not trust him. Given his actions and policies to this point concerning Iran and Israel, I believe he is going to build stronger political ties with Hamas and Iran while at the same time slowly isolating Israel to the point of leaving her to the wolves. The wolves are circling and waiting.

The differences between PM Netanyahu and Mr. Obama, and their goals for Israel not the same. Netanyahu wants an independent Israel and Obama wants a two nation state which includes a Palestinian state within Israel. In other words, Mr. Obama wants a stronger foothold for Muslims within Israel's borders. He may not want Iran to nuke Israel, but he does want them in a position of weakness for the purpose of negotiations. Mr. Obama wants Israel to give the Muslims concession after concession, until there is nothing left to concede. Then he will be happy.

Mr. Obama is no friend to Jews anywhere. He deceives by employing a few in high-level positions within his administration, but this is nothing more than a smoke-screen to detract from his real motives and agenda. Islam was the strongest influence he had growing up. He has Muslim family in Kenya. He no doubt was exposed to anti-Semitic rhetoric most of his life, and this I believe is what guides his motives and agenda today. Time will tell, but will it then be too late.
