Apparently not content by merely insulting Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by suggesting that the Palestinians be given territory as it was before 1967, President Obama and hapless Defense Secretary Leon Panetta have given Israel several private warnings telling them not to take military action against Iran and the 'Madman of Tehran' Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

At a time where Obama should be giving unconditional support to our allies in the Middle East, he again chooses to rebuke them and snub his nose at them.  I sincerely hope Netanyahu lectured Obama again, like he did about Obama's plan for Israel to give up the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, which would leave Israel "indefensible", in Netanyahu's words.  If the United States can back terrorists like we did when Obama decided to help the rebels in Libya and turn a blind eye to the Muslim Brotherhood's take over of Egypt, we should at least support Israel's decision to do something that Obama won't do, although I guess it will be difficult to help militarily since we'll be slashing the Armed Services by 100,000 troops and half a trillion dollars over the next ten years.  (Apparently this was Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank's parting gift to the country.) Oh yeah, this is at a time when China has started beefing up their defense. 

We simply cannot afford to keep Obama in the White House past January, 2013 and let him continue to learn on the job. 

  A little over a year ago, I wrote the article below telling everyone of the evils of Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the threat he poses to not only the Western World but especially to Israel.  Nothing has changed except now the madman of Tehran is thought to be behind the thwarted terrorist attack planned on the Saudi Ambassador in the United States as well as the Israeli embassy located in Argentina.  Add to that the fact that Iran has attempted to launch a Kavoshgar-5 missile  carrying a monkey, which did fail by the way, and that an Iranian naval officer has been quoted as having said that Iran plans on putting naval vessels near the United States sea borders and you have a recipe for a disastrous outcome.  But it can be avoided.

            The United States, and in particular the Obama Administration, has rattled its' sabres at Iran in the past.  But what good has it done?  In December, 2009 Iran successfully tested a Sejil-2 missile that has the range of knocking out Israeli bases as well as U.S. bases located in the Gulf.  To that, then Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, who slightly resembles Alfred E. Newman, but more so like Beaker on the Muppets, thundered that Iran was running out of time to comply with international demands that Iran halt her nuclear program.  In stuttering Beaker fashion, Gibbs stammered on "if they don't (stop), time will run out" and Western powers will move to the "next step".  After the Iranian connection was proved in the recent plots to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador on American soil, President Obama has promised to hold Iran “accountable” for its’ actions.   Apparently, the "next step" is pulling a Neville Chamberlain and continue drawing lines in the sand until they reach all the way to Tel Aviv.  All the while, Iran keeps producing uranium in the name of "energy" for her citizens.  Before Hitler tried his had at world domination, he had his army training with shovels and hoes, while telling the world, "All I want is peace!"  Sound familiar? 

            Ahmadinejad has been less transparent.  He's been quoted as saying, "Israel must be wiped off the map" and has said that the Holocaust is a myth.  Further, he has thumbed his nose at the United States by calling us "war criminals" for our actions to end World War II by using nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Yeah, this is someone we should trust.  And I forgot to mention that Russia has been helping this nut case bring nuclear capabilities to Iran by supplying the uranium fuel.  Does that make you feel any better?

Now comes a report by London’s Sunday Times that Iran is paying members of the Taliban to kill U. S. troops in Afghanistan.  Apparently, at least five Iranian companies that have offices in Afghanistan are financing Taliban battlefield expenses and are even giving cash bonuses of $1000 per head for killing OUR troops as well as $6000 for destroying a military vehicle.  Further, it appears that these companies have been set up for the sole purpose of channeling money to our enemy.   Now wouldn’t it stand to reason that a country in which the state owns a great deal of its’ own industry would be the backers of these “companies”, especially since the president of that country has openly criticized everything about the United States even to the point of blaming us for the turmoil in the Middle East because of our presence there?  In other times this in itself would be an act of war worthy of a nice round of Maverick missiles leveling Tehran.  I have a great bridge I’d like to sell to anyone who thinks Ahmadinejad is not behind this is.  Please let me know if I have any takers.

Eventually someone is going to have to do something about the little weasel known as the President of Iran, whether it is Israel or the United States, before it's too late.  There is a precedent for a preliminary strike in dealing with the nuclear reactor situation unto itself.  In 1980, IRAN bombed a nuclear reactor in Iraq, as the late President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, showed the same arrogance of power that Ahmadinejad has showed.  Then in 1981, Israel got tired of Hussein as well, and bombed another Iraqi reactor.  I bet the Iranians won't sing the same tune if Israel nails one of their own reactors or if we can quit hiding behind the cloud of political correctness and sanctimonious pacification and bomb them back to the Stone Age, as the late-General Curtis LeMay suggested we do in Vietnam.  The Iraq War was certainly an unpopular war but it served its’ purpose:  the overthrow of a dictator who was a threat to world security while promoting a democratic replacement.  We should do the same thing in Iran for the safety of not only Israel but ourselves and the rest of the world.  We’ve all heard that the Weapons of Mass Destruction were never found when we invaded and occupied Iraq.  I beg to differ.  We eliminated the biggest WMD when our military found Saddam Hussein and an Iraqi court convicted and executed him for crimes against humanity, and more recently when our Navy Seals got bin-Laden.  Is this no less true for Ahmadinejad, who flaunts nuclear weapons by stating that Iran would not retreat “one iota” in its right to have a nuclear program while also testing surface-to-surface missiles with ranges up to almost 2000 miles?  (By the way, it is 993 miles from Tehran to Tel-Aviv and keep in mind that it’s only a little over 6000 miles from Tehran to New York.)  The United States should not put up with this thug.  I can promise you that Israel won’t for much longer and we should back them up 1000 per cent.  But will we with the current administration in the White House?  I sincerely doubt it.
