What country does this president live in?

By COL. DONALD J. MYERS

A Mind of My Own

Published: September 25, 2009

I have lived long enough, listened to enough presidents and spent enough time in formal education along with extensive reading of various topics to be wary of misinformation and lies.

This week our president has again attacked our country before an international audience at the United Nations. If you listened, you would think this particular president was the first in untold years to be concerned about people. He sounded more like a world king rather than the president of the United States. He again accused us of acting unilaterally rather than encouraging friends to assist us. He talked about ordering the closing of Gitmo and stopping torture of prisoners. You would assume that it was national policy to torture before this president came into office.

The president spoke about the coming destruction of the world unless something was done about global warming, and he stated that this country would do its utmost to reduce this threat, and he talked about what had been done during the past nine months.

Too bad he is not as concerned about our national security since he has drastically reduced our missile defense. Our Polish friends are especially upset since they thought we would provide missile defense for them until the president canceled it.

The Iranians are snubbing their nose at us and the world, and they intend to continue their quest for nuclear weapons. Venezuela has stated it will provide gasoline to Iran, since Iran has almost no refinery capability. Russia is planning to provide missile defense weapons. Iran is supplying weapons to our enemies in Afghanistan and has been doing the same in Iraq for years.

Our response is to talk with the leaders of Iran and possibly implement sanctions. Gee, I wonder if Venezuela and Russia will comply? In another part of the world, North Korea continues to improve its nuclear capabilities and missile technology in open defiance.

I doubt if much American history was covered when the president went to school in Indonesia, and the same applied when he went to school in the new state of Hawaii. In his own words, he sought out rebels as he grew older and then Marxists as instructors in college.

COMMENTS: Very well stated by Colonel Myers! America needs to wake up to the person they elected to the White House and the Obama agenda.

Appease-y does it for weak Prez on road to a Mideast apocalypse

This information on a 2nd Iranian Nuclear Weapons Development Facility was discovered during the Bush Administration. President Obama has kept it secret since he took office as he pushed his foreign policy of talking direct to Iran and refusing to encourage the protestors against the rigged Iranian election. What exactly is his foreign policy against Iran? The French have it right and once again Obama is looking weaker and weaker. Is this what the American people who voted for Obama wanted -- Appeaser and Apologizer in Chief?

DID it surprise a single Post reader that Iran's been hiding a big nuclear weapons development facility? It stunned our president when he learned about it months ago. Then he kept it secret from you.

Obama didn't want you to know how much progress Iran had made. It's an embarrassment.

And it raises the pressure on the White House to act -- something this president's squirming to avoid. But the Iranians have now realized we know, so they tipped it themselves.

Obama had no choice but to come clean.

Yesterday, he interrupted the G-20 summit to go public -- before Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did. Flanked by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Britain's dead man walking, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, our president offered more uselessly vague rhetoric in response to proof of a major "covert Iranian enrichment facility" and its implications.

Obama's statement amounted to, Ooooh, I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down . . . maybe . . . eventually . . . but not really . . . let's talk . . .

Only Sarkozy made a serious attempt to get the Iranian leadership's attention, stressing the consistent failure of negotiations and the need for action. He understands that a decade of talking with Tehran brought zero results.

Obama cringed.

Shouldn't we be ashamed that a French president's leading the fight to protect Israel and the free world?

To be fair, Obama's overwhelmed.

Fatally confident of his powers of persuasion, he's bewildered that he hasn't been able to convince the Iranians (or the Palestinians, Russians, Venezuelans, Chinese, etc.) to do what he wants them to do.

So Washington delays. While Iran races toward a nuclear arsenal.
