Glenn Beck is on the radio warning China could get involved, and then who knows what’s going to happen. Cuba, Venezuela and Iran see the opportunity. USA is weakened. “2010 will be the year the world sees America is no longer a super power.”
While you slept last night, the world changed.
Michelle Malkin weighs in…
Gird your loins: North Korea fires on South KoreaJoe Biden, October 2008:
Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”…
Obama’s red phone rang early this morning. According to CBS News reporter Mark Knoller: “We’re told Pres. Obama was awakened shortly before 4AM to be informed of the North Korea attack on the South Korean island.”
…
“Generated crisis,” indeed: “A North Korea expert at Beijing’s Central Party School, Zhang Liangui, told the Herald that Kim Jong-un was deliberately destabilising the environment in order to mobilise the military and consolidate his power.”
Jim Geraghty on the Nobel Peace Prize winner’s fail: “I can’t believe the president’s personal letter to Kim Jong Il didn’t work.”
The Heritage Foundation’s Morning Bell:
But this incident is also another reminder of the White House’s misplaced priorities. While Obama spends every waking second using Chicago-style tactics to press for ratification of the New START nuclear deal with Russia, North Korea is running amok. New START offers the US no new tools to deal with Iran and North Korea which are the clear and present danger. Instead, all New START does is tie our military’s hands by limiting our capacity to build the missile defense systems necessary to deal with these regimes. The President should spend less time hawking flawed treaties to justify his Nobel Peace Prize and invest more time in fighting for peace against America’s enemies.
But not to worry, everyone. Bill O’Reilly, the international expert, says on Glenn Beck’s radio program this morning that nothing will come of it. Fifty rockets fired, two people killed. Meh… It’s only the second time this has happened and Obama realizes that if he responds, then it becomes about Obama. China won’t do anything, they like rattling our cage. So sayeth the bloviator.
I don’t know about you, but I’m relieved…
I never get tired of seeing that absurd photo. It continues to drive home the stupidity that’s in the White House and the stupidity that voted for him. I still stare at it in disbelief, more than 2 years later.
