The democrats and the media led Americans to believe that electing Obama would elevate the United States’s standing in the world. Well, what happened? I thought his world apology tour was supposed to make our enemies and allies love us alike. It looks like that’s not working out so well.
North Korea has declared it has conducted a missile test launch. Why? Aren’t they supposed to love us now? We have “smart power” in the White House! What’s going on? Didn’t Kim Jong Il get the memo?
North Korea announced Monday that it successfully carried out a second underground nuclear test, less than two months after launching a rocket widely believed to be a test of its long-range missile technology.
North Korea, incensed by U.N. Security Council condemnation of its April 5 rocket launch, had warned last month that it would restart it rogue nuclear program, conduct a second atomic test as a follow-up to its first one in 2006, and carry out long-range missile tests.
On Monday, the country’s official Korean Central News Agency said the regime “successfully conducted one more underground nuclear test on May 25 as part of measures to bolster its nuclear deterrent for self-defense.”
The regime boasted that the test was conducted “on a new higher level in terms of its explosive power and technology of its control.”
On the middle-eastern front, our staunchest ally in the area seems to be flipping President Obama the bird, even after their meeting last week. Wasn’t PM Netanyahu dazzled by our boy wonder? Why isn’t he willing to throw his own nation under the bus to appease the new healer of the world?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rebuffed U.S. calls to impose a freeze on all settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, setting the stage for friction with President Barack Obama.
“We do not intend to build any new settlements, but it wouldn’t be fair to ban construction to meet the needs of natural growth or for there to be an outright construction ban,” Netanyahu told his cabinet, according to officials.
The note of defiance came less than a week after Netanyahu held talks in Washington with Obama, who wants Israel to halt all settlement activity, including natural growth, as called for under a long-stalled peace “road map”.
Netanyahu’s comments reaffirmed a position he took in his bid for the premiership in a February election. By natural growth, Israel refers to construction within the boundaries of existing settlements to accommodate growing families.
Perhaps a World Apology Tour isn’t the best strategy when it comes to foreign policy. Just saying…
Can’t believe that this came as a surprise to anyone who graduated from kindergarten.
