Obama's National Security Team: The Axis of Feeble

Its 1937 all over again in Washington as our jaunty President is busy loading up the executive branch with Czars who could be doppelgangers for the boys FDR tried to pack in to the Supreme Court http://newdeal.feri.org/court/toons.htm. On the international scene, it seems Barack Obama has placed Korean kamikaze leader, Kim Jong-Il in charge of America’s holiday fireworks program. Kim has turned out to be The Little Elvis That Could http://tigger.uic.edu/~plotnick/littleng.htm with a finale planned for the 4th of July that is something of a Pearl Harbor do-over. Maybe it’s really more like 1941. The frail Asian Charles Atlas-wannabe keeps kicking sand in Obama’s face http://cagle.msnbc.com/hogan/features/atlas.asp in a vain attempt to get a manly response from our feckless chief executive. While Kim angles for a nuclear confrontation with the world’s largest arsenal of fissile material, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fissile Obama has the U.S. Navy circling the Hawaiian Islands with catcher’s mitts, hoping to intercept the probably fizzling Korean fireworks finale. Most Americans would prefer more pitching and less catching.
Gifted with the greatest break-through for Iranian freedom since before Hulagu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulagu_Khan crushed Persia, our pusillanimous President promises to get right back to us with a firm stance, as soon as Axelrod and Emanuel finish sorting out the opinion-poll tea leaves. One thing is certain, the Iranian democracy movement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEXyOPHbZyo&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Etailcast%2Ecom%2Fvideo%2Diranian%2Dpolice%2Dbeating%2Dfreedom%2Dfighters%2D27642%2Ehtml&feature=player_embedded and others like it can count on one sure thing from America’s mouthpiece: “Just words.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cd-AJeJvBE As Gerard Warner makes plain in the UK Telegraph:
“(President Pantywaist) is trying to steer a course between appeasement and rhetoric about the Iranian "threat", while knowing he may eventually have to knuckle down and accept a nuclear Islamic republic, since Barack doesn't do war.” http://68.142.200.12/us.f397.mail.yahoo.com/ya/securedownload?clean=0&fid=Inbox&mid=1_2635_ADZqv9EAAXLNSjwW2gAJlQGO390&pid=2&tnef=&prefFilename=President+Pantywaist+latest+Iran+unclenches+its+fist+-+to+slap+Barack+Obama%26amp%3B%2339%3Bs+face+Gerald+Warner.htm&cred=0tSjenhex16TH_wsyrR3QAbqJnGOo1XtRCvJfyKnGkU4zn9Yha6NqV54gIrd1Slc0eOmeUwLci3HrKp89bz2D4eiZUWO8rekmPjqTUkWxMUQ&ts=1245671528&partner=ymail&sig=.b_qETAQoT12V8Ydzz6S3A--
Sadly it’s as clear as a bulldozer path through downtown Flint, Michigan http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/2009/06/not-just-walpin-3-ig-firings-being-questioned.html that Barack doesn’t do war, at least not in the conventional militaristic sense of the world. Not very well, anyway. While the administration’s current treatment of its Inspectors General www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/2009/06/not-just-walpin-3-ig-firings-being-questioned.html seems war-like, Barry and the girls back in D.C. really have no qualms with protecting the baksheesh machine he ramped up with the first few trillion dollars of the stimulus http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123318906638926749.html.
You’d have to go back to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIie9OosnEM to match the sense of wonder created by the unholy trio at the core of Obama’s national security team:
“Who are those girls?”
Not since President Peanut has our national security team been so overmatched. Almost daily America is threatened by the surviving dregs of the Axis of Evil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_evil , while B.O. has his Axis of Feeble in charge of the Department of State, Homeland Security and purportedly representing American interests at the U.N.
Where do we start? How about over at Foggy Bottom, where Congress made a special exception to allow Hillary’s husband to continue on the payroll at the House of Saud http://www.toledotalk.com/cgi-bin/tt.pl/article/13530/Clinton__Bought_and_Paid_for_By_Saudi_Arabia_and_China while continuing in to rake in Chinese loot, too. The only way Hillary could be more demonstrably anti-Israel http://wcbstv.com/national/hillary.clinton.israel.2.945238.html would be to show up at her press conferences in a burqua. The most telling pronouncement of Clintonian vapidity had to be her pose as modern dance reviewer when asked to speak out against the America-bashing of Daniel Ortega:
“For 50 minutes, Obama sat mute, as a Marxist thug from Nicaragua delivered his diatribe, charging America with a century of terrorist aggression in Central America….
Hillary Clinton was asked to comment: "I thought the cultural performance was fascinating," she cooed.
Pressed again on Ortega's vitriol, Hillary replied: "To have those first-class Caribbean entertainers all on one stage and to see how much was done in such a small amount of space. I was overwhelmed." http://vereloqui.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-hillary-mute-in-face-of-criticism.html
Little did we know that when that red phone at the White House rings at 3:00 a.m. it will be somebody looking for a dissertation on Latin American choreography. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yr7odFUARg
Incredible as it may seem, Pantsuit Woman is probably Obama’s ablest national security team member. Over at the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano has yet to discover an illegal alien she doesn’t love, unless they are wearing ice-skates http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/napolitanos_politically_correc.html . This woman is just another “Obama-caused disaster” waiting to happen. How can we defeat the terrorists when the amorphous blob in charge of our domestic security prioritizes creating politically correct euphemisms rather than taking action to secure our borders? While Janet focuses on those maple-syrup swilling terrorists in mittens from the Great White North http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_TfBbR6L0M , she has exactly reversed the appropriate priority on the Mexican Border:
The Republic reported today that Janet Napolitano is “redeploying” 360 U.S. border agents from their jobs protecting American interests so that they can now devote their time (to) inspecting vehicles travelling into Mexico. http://sonoranalliance.com/?p=4452
That’s right. Bizarro Pantsuit Woman believes she is now in charge of securing the border for the Mexican government. Never mind all that focus on illegals sneaking into the U.S. and the Mexican drug cartels turning our kids into 21st century Cheeches and Chongs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ozk7fnKilU : it’s high time we investigate those going into Mexico. Maybe we can confiscate their sun-block and immodium tablets and re-distribute them to the Uyghurs vacationing at our expense in Bermuda http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/12/bermuda-accepts-guantanamo-detainees .
Somewhere, somebody is thanking Wicca that Obama saved the United Nations gig for Susan Rice. But it certainly won’t be Israelis or any of her former client states in Africa. She has benefitted from the best multi-culturalist education that European could muster up, with her
“classmates and professors at Oxford includ(ing) advocates of the role of the United Nations and international law (Sir Adam Roberts, Benedict Kingsbury),[7] of global economic governance and international economic cooperation (Ngaire Woods, Donald Markwell).” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_E._Rice
I wonder: was there any American history included in her curriculum?
Ms. Rice specialized in African studies, and used her scholarship to its fullest while serving as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs under family friend Madeleine Albright in the Clinton administration. A Newsweek article in 1998 suggested that the U.S. State Department turned a blind eye to the
Overthr(o)w (of )the notorious dictator Mobutu Sese Seko. Administration sources insisted they had no prior knowledge of the offensive, but according to one highly placed strategist of the war, Washington had promised not to oppose such an incursion. It's a fine, Clintonian, distinction. ""Anything's better than Mobutu, Susan Rice told one acquaintance at the time. But in the view of many Africa specialists, Washington's tacit complicity in the violation of the Congo's borders was dangerously destabilizing.” http://www.mafo2008.com/profiles/blogs/interesting-wikipedia-entry-on
The respected Sammy Benoit, editor of Yid with Lid , describes Rice as a Joe Wilson apologist, and places her squarely in the Clinton tinfoil bunker that rejected the Sudanese offers of shared information on terrorists including the offer to hand over Bin Laden:
according to several of her former colleagues, who say she deserves a hefty portion of blame for the fact that Osama bin Laden wasn't neutralized during the 1990s.
"The FBI, in 1996 and 1997, had their efforts to look at terrorism data and deal with the bin Laden issue overruled every single time by the State Department, by Susan Rice and her cronies, who were hell-bent on destroying the Sudan," one-time Clinton diplomatic troubleshooter Mansoor Ijaz told radio host Sean Hannity in 2002 http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2008/11/obamas-un-disaster-susan-rice-woman-who.html.
Let’s get this straight: while serving as the Undersecretary of State for African Affairs, Ms. Rice is reported to have actively sought to undermine the governments of Zimbabwe and the Sudan. And now she is representing all of America? How do you like our chances?
Beyond Ms. Rice’s incompetent meddling in the affairs of African clients lies her pixie-dust view of the United Nations and its spin-off, The International Criminal Court:
"The United Nations is indispensable for advancing these goals and making our world a better, safer place," she said.
(And with a straight face I might add.)
"The International Criminal Court, which has started its first trial this week, looks to become an important and credible instrument for trying to hold accountable the senior leadership responsible for atrocities committed in the Congo, Uganda and Darfur." http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2009/01/30/65331.html
Terrific. Maybe Ms. Rice can get Sonya Sotomayor http://www.daylife.com/article/073f4pG1l47Ie?q=Sonia+Sotomayor appointed to the international body instead of the Supreme Court and at least do something positive for Americans.
Ahmedinijad and Kim must be lying awake at night laughing themselves sick. As though Obama and Biden weren’t pegging the wimp meter enough by themselves, B.O. added insult to injury by going to the Affirmative Action casting couch to enlist The Axis of Feeble to head his national security effort.
May God have mercy on our souls.

Ironic Turn-About for Black-Eyed Peace Monger

Two months ago, garish gossipmonger Perez Hilton trashed Carrie Prejean for honestly responding to his gay marriage litmus test question at the Miss USA Contest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XMvviFbkf0. To say Ms. Prejean and the beauty pageant got a black eye from all the media exposure would be putting it mildly.
Yesterday Hilton’s karma destiny was fulfilled. It seems the pudgy media bully who looks like the progeny of Charles Laughton and a cockatiel got mouthy with Fergie and a couple of Black-eyed Peas. Unlike Prejean http://www.frugal-cafe.com/public_html/frugal-blog/frugal-cafe-blogzone/2009/04/20/perez-hiltons-foul-mouthed-diatribe-against-beauty-pageant-contestant-gay-marriage-issue-from-gaypatriot-bloggers-perspective/ and Lindsay Lohan http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301150,00.html the other feckless celebrities maligned by the withering blight of Hilton’s snarkish sniping, band member Will I Am and manager Polo got up in Mr. Gay Marriage’s facebook and one of the them allegedly popped his eye black. It was reported that charges have been filed in the case.
If you have a very strong stomach and don’t mind a little gratuitous, obscene name-calling mixed with a butt-load of self-pity and oodles of revulsive puling, try to watch the palaverous whiner’s diatribe here http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/22/perez-unloads-on-will-disgusting-human-being/. It’s really hard to watch this slow motion disheveled and slobbering train wreck, but if you will listen carefully you may get the impression that Mr. Hilton is advising the Obama administration on foreign policy. (“Violence is never the answer. EV-ER. No matter what anyone says, blood should never be drawn. Another person should never be hit.”)
Just goes to show what happens when a starry-eyed idealist confronts someone in the real world who doesn’t happen to share their interest in diplomacy.
Do you think we should set up a defense fund for the Peas?

No Closet Big Enough for Colin Powell-Democrat

Describing Colin Powell as a Republican is akin to describing Perez Hilton http://www.icelebz.com/celebs/perez_hilton/photo8.html as straight. No matter how often the canard is repeated in the Obamedia, it remains absurd. The self-described “C” student from City College of New York went on to become “the reluctant warrior” http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2001/sep/30/usa.afghanistan advising several Presidential administrations on how to best avoid military intervention while pleading for international coalitions and U.N. approval.
Pro-choice, pro-gun control and an ardent lobbyist against the use of military tribunals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Powell there is scarcely an issue upon which Colin Powell even mildly resembles a moderate Democrat, much less a Republican. His efforts to scuttle John Bolton’s appointment as U.N. Ambassador http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YmZlZjIyY2JmYWZmMTJiNzI0N2I0ZjE4ZThkNDM4MzU= and his collaboration with Richard Armitage http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110008872 to allow Scooter Libby to twist in the wind and ultimately be wrongly convicted in Plamegate demonstrate the likelihood that the General from Affirmative Action was merely a stealth Democrat undermining the Republican administrations in which he served. Powell’s ardent support for Barack Obama’s Presidential bid surprised no one even mildly familiar with his penchant for liberal causes.
The lick-spittle media’s attempt to foist General Reluctant upon the American public as arbiter of the Republican party’s positions and direction is as transparent as the emperor’s new clothes http://deoxy.org/emperors.htm. It’s time to come out of the closet, Colin.

Who was Cruising New York on Air Force One?

While Rahm Emmanuel and Obama’s Blue Angel wannabes would like New York Buzzgate to go away quietly, deeper background on White House scapegoat and Director of the White House Military Office, Louis Caldera, suggests the possibility that Obama donors might have been along for the ride that caused near panic and flight from Manhattan skyscrapers.
Described on the Washington Prowler as “a fixer in the classic sense of the term” http://spectator.org/archives/2009/04/29/flyover-launcher, Caldera was selected by Bill Clinton to serve as Secretary of the Army and tasked with “ identifying ‘politically friendly’ military personnel who would be helpful to the Clintons, as well as interacting with VIPs from Hollywood and the defense industry to keep them happy.”
The assumption is that Rahm Emmanuel brought Caldera on board the B.O. administration to perform similar functions.
This despite Mr. Caldera’s somewhat controversial background that curdles when brought to light:
1.) Caldera served on the board of directors at IndyMac Bank prior to the lender becoming one of the first of the major banks to go belly-up in the sub-prime mortgage debacle.
2.) Caldera appears to have been selected as President of the University of New Mexico with some questionable assistance from Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico despite “almost 80 percent of the faculty of University of New Mexico vot(ing) against the hiring of Caldera (ibid).

White House press secretary Robert Gates insists the flight was a “training mission” that turned into a “picture mission” and that only Air Force personnel were onboard. But Gates and White House staffers continue to protest too much, according to the former Obama defense transition team member serving as the Prowler’s source:

"This is a bigger deal than the White House is letting on, and there are some nervous people there, and I'm not clear why."

Could Obama be using Air Force One for joyrides just as Bill Clinton used the Lincoln Bedroom to ply Democrat donors?

Hillary Still Solicting Donations?

It’s not in the least bit surprising to hear from Jim Geraghty at National Review Online that he is still being solicited for funds from Hillary Clinton’s campaign http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/. The Clintons just keep on cashing in. I hope someone in the Obama administration had the good sense to nail down the furniture at Foggy Bottom http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3827/is_200202/ai_n9045376/ . Did you suppose the couple amassed $109 million http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/apr2008/clin-a08.shtml in net worth based on Hillary’s eye for beef on the hoof http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/cRosett/?id=65000476 ?
Mike Judge’s brilliant Idiocracy http://www.worstpreviews.com/trailer.php?id=8&item=0 , barely circulated by 20th Century Fox but showing this week on Comedy Central , features the American Secretary of State in 2505 openly expressing the Clinton modus operandi:
“I’m Secretary of State brought to you by Carl Jr.’s.” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/quotes
If you close your eyes and substitute the words “The House of Saud” for “Carl Jr.’s” you would swear you could hear the rustle of a polyester pantsuit in the background.

Pirate Gauntlet Thrown

"The French and the Americans will regret starting this killing. We do not kill, but take only ransom. We shall do something to anyone we see as French or American from now," Hussein, a pirate, told Reuters by satellite phone. http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE53A1LP20090412?sp=true
The Pirate Hussein’s statement constitutes an assault on the American and French peoples according to the legal definition of assault supplied by nolo.com http://www.nolo.com/definition.cfm/term/22542b6f-fedb-450a-889a82a49ea50ceb/alpha/a/ :
A crime that occurs when one person tries to physically harm another in a way that makes the person under attack feel immediately threatened. Actual physical contact is not necessary; threatening gestures that would alarm any reasonable person can constitute an assault.
There was no indication at the time whether Hussein the Somali Pirate and Barack Hussein Obama the Chicago Socialist Pirate were related.
Of course the right to self-defense is recognized even in the fuzzy codicils of international law. The kudos the Obama administration garners from the successful termination of the Mersk Alabama hostage crisis (and the pirates who initiated it) should provide the impetus to take pre-emptive measures of self-defense. This would include the destruction of Somali ports like Eyl http://www.nydailynews.com/news/us_world/2009/04/10/2009-04-10_piracy_boon_to_somalia_economy.html where cadres of accountants, publicists and gold-digging women have shown up in search of a cut of the pirate booty. Eliminating terrorist training camps for Al Qaeda cells and the home-grown Men-Causing-Disasters http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/napolitano_terrorism/2009/03/23/194888.html led by Aden Hashi Ayro http://www.cfr.org/publication/10781/ would be a fruitful by-product of de-nesting these water-rats.
If Obama wants to counter the feeble impression left by his first 80 days of diplomatic wobble http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/adavid/2009/04/02/the-world-and-barack-obama%E2%80%99s-weakness/ , he should take the following three words of advice when pre-empting future Somali piracy:
Shock and awe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Smjn9wou8 .

Soon All Roads Will Lead to Chicago

In what must be one of the most remarkable coincidences in the history of bald-faced snatch and grab politics, the state of Illinois has already filched over $629 million from the available pool of stimulus funds allotted by the Department of Transportation “since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act became law Feb. 17” http://www.chicagobusiness.com/cgi-bin/news.pl?id=33663&seenIt=1. This accounts for over 12% of the road and bridge projects approved so far by Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood’s (Friend of Blago-Illinois) department.
If the funds were to be equally dispersed over the entire 57 states http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/21/barack-obama-gaffe-machine/ Barry “King of the Road” Obama’s homeboys would be tussling over 1.76% of the orange-barrel booty. While fellow Earmarking Illini on the Obama team made much of the fact that LaHood actually paid his federal income taxes, his nomination as DOT Secretary was actually delayed due to ethical questions surrounding his penchant for steering Federal cash to his home state:
“The (Washington) Post reported this morning that LaHood, a seven-term Republican Congressman from Illinois who retired last month, has close ties to a Republican power-broker indicted in the pay-to-play scandal that also led to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's recent arrest. The story also documented LaHood's sponsorship of $60 million in congressional earmarks last year, and how at least $9 million of them directly benefited his top campaign donors.” http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/01/14/lahood_confirmation_hearing_po.html
You don’t suppose any of these highway funds will find their way into Obama-LaHood donor’s pockets, do you?
If our recent trip to the Richard Daley satrapy is any indication, the highway funds will be used to provide additional toll booths on the cities highways. Apparently forcing drivers to exit once every four exits and pay tolls is providing insufficient tribute to the city to allow for the repair of crumbling interstate surfaces. Perhaps the new coin-collecting cages can be rendered as figural Obama heads, with his gaping maw gobbling up any cash left in Windy City driver’s pockets.
