Is it all Obama's fault? And the Dems, of course?
I don't recall when the first Somali pirates started hijacking ships, but if the man who'd been President of the US then had sent a C-130 gunship to the area and blown out of the water any boat that held more than 10 men (I say that, more than the 1 man I mentioned in a post earlier today, because presumably there are Somalis who make honest livings as fishermen, and would fish in such a boat...)...whatever,.... what they should have done was blown a few Somali pirates out of the water, giving them no quarter.
Instead, we had to think of their "civil rights" and as a result piracy is worse than ever, and many hostages are dead, including the 4 Americans murdered earlier today.
That should be unacceptable.
Despots, thugs, dictators around the world cannot believe their good fortune, that the American people have elected an administration who really believes the United States is the problem in the world. The result of this: The Somali pirates have now killed four Americans with the US Navy nearby.
No fear.
In Mexico, drug cartels ambush US ICE agents. College students, tourists are murdered in recent weeks. They're not afraid, not worried. Pakistan holds a CIA agent. They have gone public with his identity. We are not unhappy about it. Panetta may not even know yet. Has CNN had this story? Panetta may not even know that a CIA agent is being held by Pakistan unless CNN has reported it. So Pakistan's holding the CIA agent who defended himself and others from attack. They refused to release him despite diplomatic immunity.
No fear.
Iran is holding two American hikers and just sent warships through the Suez Canal as a provocation.
No fear.
North Korea is begging us to send food again despite their recent attacks on a South Korean island, violating nuclear agreements with us.
No fear.
Moammar Khadafy, this guy is still speaking. He ignores our weak statement calling for the end of violence. Obama was laughed at -- trust me, don't doubt me on this -- in the streets of Cairo. Bahrain. So what if our Fifth Fleet is based there. We're not having any impact on events.
No fear.
South America: Venezuela and Bolivia have nationalized our companies, have nationalized American companies, have shown severe disrespect for American leaders -- and our own president hovels up and laughs with the architect of all that: Hugo Chavez. Cuba? The idiot Fidel Castro still railing against us.
No fear.
ChiComs, Hu Jintao still ignore our demands for currency adjustments. They still steal our intellectual property at will. The Navy expands. They don't answer common communications from our ships in the Pacific, try to steal our technology for stealth fighters -- and they're not afraid because they know they hold so much of our debt. You take all these things together. Any of you Democrats, are you aware of the precarious nature you have plunged this country into?
I frequent a few message boards which point out what I think sometimes...should the United States be the world policeman, as we've tried to be in the past? Where has that gotten us? We're bankrupt, China is on the ascendancy, and very few people respect us...even now that Obama is President...
