Obama, Clinton, Carter: A Tradition of Appeasement

Lt. Gen Ion Mihai Pacepa -  I was there when Carter appeased Ceausescu; Chen Guangcheng is the latest Democratic pawn 

"Three months later, I was granted political asylum in the United States, and I informed President Carter that he was praising the wrong man. In fact, Ceausescu was an international terrorist and arms smuggler who was also selling off Romanian Jews and Germans for Western currency. The result?

"Carter alleged that the KGB had staged my defection in order to destroy his excellent relations with Ceausescu, and he ordered that I be deported back to Romania."

"If only…we could sit down at a table with the Germans and run through all their complaints and claims with a pencil, this would greatly relieve all tension."Chamberlain, speaking unoffficially to Anthony Eden in 1937. No, wait; wasn't that Ron Paul speaking of the Iranians?

...."When Ronald Reagan became president, the U.S. was being treated with contempt by most petty tyrants around the world. The Soviet Union was on the march in Angola, Cuba, Ethiopia, Syria, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Peru, and, of course, Afghanistan. Reagan reversed all these trends, and his successor, George H. W. Bush, was credited with winning the Cold War and demolishing the Soviet empire."
...."The same thing seems to be true of the current leaders of the Democratic Party. Let’s hope that next November the United States will get a White House and a Congress able to tell the difference between wild rabbits and dangerous foreign despots."
Lt. Gen (r) Ion Mihai Pacepa is the highest-ranking official ever to have defected from the former Soviet bloc. He is currently writing a book on disinformation together with Prof. Ronald Rychlak.
