Axis Of Evil Tests Obama Administration
And so we finally come to it. President Obama is facing severe national security tests this Memorial Day Weekend. First is a nuclear armed North Korea:
There have been expressions of international outrage after North Korea said it had successfully carried out an underground nuclear test.
After seismologists confirmed it had the power of a 4.5 quake, the US president said North Korea’s programme posed a “grave threat” to world peace.
Emphasis mine – and, Duh! And before liberals display their scientific and technical ignorance again it must be noted that it takes decades to build a nuclear weapon – so don’t go off blaming Bush, who tried his entire two terms to reign in NK in joint talks with its allies. Now China and Japan and South Korea will have to deal with their utter failures to control this maniac regime.
And the world is seeing the threat of a madman like Hitler, now armed with the most destructive weapons ever invented. Is Kim Il Jong mad enough to test whether the US would light up North Korea with nuclear retaliation strikes? I fear he may be.
And let’s not forget the mad Mullah’s of Iran, who are also on the verge of becoming madmen with nuclear weapons:
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday rejected a Western proposal for it to “freeze” its nuclear work in return for no new sanctions and ruled out any talks with major powers on the issue.
The comments by the conservative president, who is seeking a second term in a June 12 election, are likely to further disappoint the U.S. administration of President Barack Obama, which is seeking to engage Iran diplomatically.
Madmen use diplomacy as a way to buy time so they can mass the resources to initiate their mad plans to take over the world. It is not a joke, and soon the world will be forced to learn the same harsh lesson we learned in World War II. Some people are beyond reason, and the more power they amass the farther from reason they become.
Liberals and Obama are about to meet madness in its fullest, most dangerous form. Madmen with the power to destroy massive numbers of people, and the will to use that power to gain what they want.
Udpate: North Korea is really flexing its muscles with a second nuclear test. Question is, how many more nuclear bombs do they have hidden away?
Iran’s nucs are a done deal… Only a matter of time…
Pakistan… India… North Korea added recently to nuc countries… More to come… Maybe one of the “Stans” next to Russia will go for it… With a life expectancy of 12 more years [83]… I may [or may] not witness one of those [or some other to come] morons blowing one up… but you youngsters surely will… GL…
.
ps… In case you are geographically retarded, ref: the missile that North Korea recently sent over the Sea of Japan & Pacific Ocean… it passed directly over the country of Japan… Small wonder Japanese are slightly p***ed off…
.
But… on the bright side… My President is apparently “outraged”… That’ll show them… Excuse me if I withhold my attaboy, Sir…
Or… maybe North Korea will just go into the nuc export business… I think I’ll go buy the all the internet addresses like … eg… “buyanuc.com” & make my retirement selling the names…
Do not worry! Obama is composing a strong memo as we speak and the UN is going to twist the security counsel to offer NK some harsh words.
Rest assured all is well. Soft power will take care of this.
AJ,
Speaking of axis of evil, I just posted about numerous al Qaeda documents that have gone unnoticed mentioning the groups presence inside Iraq prior to invasion if you are interested.
http://regimeofterror.com/archives/2009/05/overlooked_and_new_testimony_s_1/
There is conflicting evidence on who in the former regime, and when, was willing to work with al Qaeda and it’s affiliates that I will be posting on with a few interviews I have set up with people who interviewed Ansar al Islam, Baath and al Qaeda detainees.
Whoever has nuclear technology to sell should skee-daddle over to Japan quick. They are now IN the market.
Remember, North Korean’s were in Syria when Israel bombed what ever it was. North Korea would not be in Syria with out the knowledge of Iran.
North Korea also set off a short range missile today, one that could carry a war head.
Iran sent 4 war ships into the Straight of Hormuz today.
Iran offered to debate Obama at the UN, the same debate he offered Bush. Iran said they will not talk to anybody about their nuclear program outside of the IAEA.
What Bush knew, AQ Khan had visited North Korea and Iran two countries with mad men at the helm. At least we don’t have to second guess Sadham.
Obama has cut 16% from the DOD’s research budget on missile defense.
George Bush must be feeling really sorry for Obama about now. Thinking, Obama, when reality hits and you are sitting in the Oval Office, our enemies look a little different then they did on the campaign trail.
I say words with out responsibility are just noise, no matter how pleasing.
This is really bad news. I wonder if when the Nuke are made, Iran will send some back. So we have Iran on Israel’s north and south borders through surrogates, and then we have Iran to our south through Venezuela.
Venezuela and Bolivia are supplying Iran with uranium for its nuclear program, according to a secret Israeli government report obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
The two South American countries are known to have close ties with Iran, but this is the first allegation that they are involved in the development of Iran’s nuclear program, considered a strategic threat by Israel.
“There are reports that Venezuela supplies Iran with uranium for its nuclear program,” the Foreign Ministry document states, referring to previous Israeli intelligence conclusions. It added, “Bolivia also supplies uranium to Iran.”
The report concludes that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is trying to undermine the United States by supporting Iran.
RE: second nuclear test mentioned in update
The headline in the WSJ article is misleading, there was only one today, first was years ago.
Every time North Korea has done something like this, they have gained something from us in order to get them to stop doing it. What reason do they have to expect that we will do anything else this time? Do we turn oil shipments back on, deliver more food, or whatever else they might want this time? Or do we mine their harbors and isolate them even more? I don’t know but I believe the Obama administration will simply vote “present” and not do much of anything at all.
President Pantywaist strikes again.
Mark……I read your info this morning about al Queda in Iraq. Do you think any body on the left will ever believe it? I’m thinking not. I have always believe that Bush had a very good reason to be frightened of Sadham and his support for terrorism, and the implications. Another highly classified document or documents that will never see the light of day.
If Bush had tried a stunt like this he would have been impeached. Obama must think that he was elected to a dictatorship.

… Obama Administration officials were poised in late April to make a bold, stealthy move: they instructed U.S. Marshals … to fly two Chinese Uighurs, and up to five more on subsequent flights, from Gitmo to northern Virginia for resettlement. In a conference call … Justice and Pentagon officials had been warned that any public statements about Gitmo transfers would inflame congressional Republicans … Then GOP Rep. Frank Wolf got tipped off. Furious, he fired off a letter to Obama, charging that [these releases] could ” threaten the security of Americans.” White House officials were not happy. One accused [Wolf] of playing politics. … The flight never took off.
Drudge report currently showing headline that Obama played golf today. Guess he is not too worried about North Korea, Iran, Syria or any other hot spot. He laid the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown soldier and went on about his day. Drudge was wondering what Obama was doing at 3p.m. the National moment of unity he prescribed for today.
Somehow, something is missing in this president. Just doesn’t seem to have any of those old-fashioned American feelings or sentimentalism. He and his Socialists cohorts think that’s only for the right wingers.
AJ, based on the history of the U.S. nuclear deterrent, if the North Koreans are willing to expend two bombs in tests, they probably have 6-10 in inventory.
This will get very ugly. If Japan decides to go nuclear – a job well within the capabilities of their nuclear power industry – it will give the rest of East Asia fits. Memories are long over there. And South Korea, Australia, and Taiwan are likely to follow suit. We’re looking at a multi-lateral arms race.
Not to mention that the Iranians may buy a couple of bombs. And that bunch of suicidal fools may use them. Quite possibly on Washington.
Regine change in North Korea is the only alternative to the arms race Mike M. mentions. And it had better be quick.
This is incentive for a regional task force to stop this nonsense once and for all.
I would expect Iran (And North Korea) to export weapons rather than deploy any themselves. This way they can deny and keep on doing it. I think that President Obama will wait until the nuke goes off before acting violently. (Even then, his reaction can be expected to be limited.) At that point, it will be far too late.
Regime change, I meant. Man, even with a several day break my spelling is as bad as ever.

Things with Iran aren’t looking very good, either:
Israeli document: Venezuela sends uranium to Iran

JERUSALEM — Venezuela and Bolivia are supplying Iran with uranium for its nuclear program, according to a secret Israeli government report obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

North Korea says U.S. hostile, readies more rockets
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090526/wl_nm/us_korea_north_23
North Korea has said that they would regard South Korea’s joining of the Proliferation Security Initiative as an act of war. South Korea said today they were joining anyway.
Iran has sent several warships out of port and into the open sea.
It certainly looks like the Axis of Evil has picked right about now to play out its hand.
