"The Power Of Positive Weakness" and America's decline in stature

 "With the Syria imbroglio Obama demonstrated that he has no plan, no resolve, no domestic support, no international support and is desperate for something he can spin as a win. Of course people want to negotiate with him now."

You can be sure it is in Iran's best interest to have the Democrat party in power in the US and they also know the character of our liberals. They have seen the Code Pink antiwar signs and the anti-Israel protests; they have taken note of Americans defecating on our flag while crowds looked on, laughing. These are the same people who, in 1930s Great Britain cried "warmonger!" at warnings of danger over the growing Nazi war machine; the ones who thought Britain's preparing for the coming war with Hitler was aggression itself.
Democrat voters sleep the sleep of the blissfully ignorant, content to enjoy the thought that they are "nice people".  The Tunnel Dweller

JustOneMinute: The Power Of Positive Weakness
With the Syria imbroglio Obama demonstrated that he has no plan, no resolve, no domestic support, no international support and is desperate for something he can spin as a win. Of course people want to negotiate with him now:

U.S. and Iran Agree to Speed Talks to Defuse Nuclear Issue  "But Mr. Rouhani has yet to propose anything concrete to suggest how different the Iranians really are in their approach. The first glimpse of that is due to come on Oct. 15 and 16, when Iran plans to present its own road map in Geneva.

 How many out there know what the phrase, "Peace in our Time" means?
Will Israel be Obama's Czechoslovakia? 
"The White House quickly offered Israel and leaders in Congress a readout of Obama’s discussion, and one official, speaking on background, conceded that Netanyahu will justifiably insist on strenuous testing of Iran’s deeds, not mere acceptance of its vow to cooperate."
They rest their nation's hopes on Obama's strength of character and his resolve.

CNN calls this "a risk worth taking"   "Now, it seems, at a time when the president has seen his foreign policy approval numbers hit new lows, he has reverted to his old idea of actively speaking to our enemies as the best way to prove he is not turning away from the region. He has collaborated with circumstances to choose this option in Syria--and Iran."

The Occasional Winston  "Listening to Barack Obama advertise his man crush on Hassan Rouhani makes my skin crawl. Rouhani is a man with whom the United States has many scores to settle but he and the mullahs have Obama’s number, not that it’s all that hard to pick up. Fresh off his diplomatic “triumph” in Syria, Obama is all but shrieking: “I am a chicken ripe to be plucked.' ”  Scott Johnson 

Here is some historical contrast for you in sizing up world leaders:

Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal: A Small President on the World Stage

 A Small President on the World Stage ; At the U.N., leaders hope for a return of American greatness.
"That is the takeaway from conversations the past week in New York, where world leaders gathered for the annual U.N. General Assembly session. "....

 

..."The second takeaway of the week has to do with a continued decline in admiration for the American president. Barack Obama's reputation among his fellow international players has deflated, his stature almost collapsed. In diplomatic circles, attitudes toward his leadership have been declining for some time, but this week you could hear the disappointment, and something more dangerous: the sense that he is no longer, perhaps, all that relevant."

 "World leaders are very negative about Obama," he said. They are "disappointed, feeling he's not really in charge. . . . The Western Europeans don't pay that much attention to him anymore."

....

"This reminded me of a talk a few weeks ago, with another veteran diplomat who often confers with leaders with whom Mr. Obama meets. I had asked: When Obama enters a room with other leaders, is there a sense that America has entered the room? I mentioned de Gaulle—when he was there, France was there. When Reagan came into a room, people stood: America just walked in. Does Mr. Obama bring that kind of mystique?

" 'No," he said. "It's not like that.' "

 

A nation gets the leaders it deserves.

PARENTS! Here’s how you get Islam out of your public schools

BareNakedIslam    "Ohio Mom teams-up with Thomas More Law Center to force the school to remove an Islamic proselytizing video from her son’s 7th Grade History Class."
....
"The video is also set up in a manner that portrays non-Muslims as uneducated bigots and Muslims as persecuted victims. At one point in the video, 7th grade students are told that if they hear someone say something wrong about Islam, it is their responsibility to fix it."

"Under the guise of teaching the history of Islam to seventh graders, history teachers were proselytizing students to the Islamic faith."

Obama Stalks Rouhani, Calls Iranian President today after UN snub 

"Obama rewards the Iranian snub at the UN on Tuesday and called Rouhani today, for more humiliation.   ...
"He calls the Republicans in Congress "extremists" and refuses to negotiate with them, but he rewards the world's leading state sponsor of terror with deference, respect and time to build their nuclear weapons program."

A Chamberlain for our time    "But, at least you could mount a (weak) defense that there had never been such a situation that confronted the West in the form of Chancellor Hitler.

"Our president, however, can not claim that there is no precedent for what confronts him and the West. This would be funny, except that the consequences of Mr. Obama's hubris and ignorance could be the death of millions."

However history shows that PM Chamberlain manned up and stood firmly against Hitler, declaring war {belatedly) over a red line that Britain drew.

"Boko Haram, which has said it is fighting to create an Islamic state in mainly Muslim northern Nigeria, has repeatedly attacked churches in its four-year insurgency."

...."there is no such thing as moderate or radical Islam" — "there is only one Islam"  "Well educated and affluent, dispelling once again the leftist/Islamic supremacist myth that Muslims go jihad because they are uneducated and poverty stricken. But facts are irrelevant when masking the motive of the most vicious enemy of our freedom and very way of life." 

Obama Declares November National Muslim Appreciation Month  “The Muslim community deserves our full acceptance and respect,” Obama told reporters. “We have killed millions[!] of Muslims overseas since the September 11th attacks. ...from now on, November will be a month to celebrate the Muslim community, the Sunnah and the Quran.”
Meanwhile, the ban on Nativity scenes and the phrase "Merry Christmas" will continue.

Why Didn't EVEN ONE, ONE SINGLE Muslim Cry Out Mohammed's Mothers Name And Give the Answer To Those Being Executed?

Infidel Bloggers Alliance  "Pamela Geller asks a very important question. I'll give you the answer. But first, the question:

Women and children were slaughtered if they could not recite the Koran or name the mother of the Prophet Mohammed. The killers chanted, "Our mujahideen are prepared to die for our cause!" 

So why didn't even one Muslim scream out Muhammad's mother's name and give the answer to those being executed?

"The answer, in case you don't know already is,

"BECAUSE ALL THE MUSLIMS IN THE MALL BELIEVED THE INFIDEL PIGS DESERVED TO BE SLAUGHTERED."

"THE ONES WHO STOOD SILENTLY BY AND ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN ARE ANIMALS TOO.
"IMAGINE YOU COULD SAVE THE LIFE OF A CHILD BY SHOUTING OUT ONE WORD, AND YOU DON'T DO IT." 

Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs writes:    "Hostages and victims were told "all Muslims leave... we only want to kill non-Muslims": (they released anyone who could prove they were Muslim by reciting a prayer), they attacked American and Jewish shops, women and children were slaughtered if they could not recite the Koran, the jihadis cut the hands off the bodies of their victims and burned their faces.
 

"Why didn't the Muslims who took the free pass confront the Muslims who were killing in the name of Islam? We are constantly schooled by Muslims in every media outlet say that these actions do not represent Islam. And yet no Muslim confronted the jihadists in Kenya about their "misunderstanding of Islam.' "

Oh, by the way: JUDITH MILLER says, “At least 90% of media deliberately omitted the words ‘Islam,’ ‘Muslim’ and ‘Jihadist’ from their coverage of the Kenya Mall massacre”
'....terrorism is not a “twisted version,” but an important part of the quran, mentioned  countless times as a method of dealing with the unbelievers."

Qur’an:8:12
“Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.” ”So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

WSJ: Daniel Henninger: Let ObamaCare Collapse  

"What the GOP's Defund-ObamaCare Caucus is failing to see is that ObamaCare is no longer just ObamaCare. It is about something that is beyond the reach of a congressional vote.

"As its Oct. 1 implementation date arrives, ObamaCare is the biggest bet that American liberalism has made in 80 years on its foundational beliefs. This thing called "ObamaCare" carries on its back all the justifications, hopes and dreams of the entitlement state. The chance is at hand to let its political underpinnings collapse, perhaps permanently." Legal Insurrection comments on this article.

Farrakhan a VIP guest at dinner party with Iran's Rouhani

Fox News

 

"Farrakhan is no stranger to controversy. He has been blasted for his anti-Semitic remarks and has aligned himself with former Iranian presidents and other controversial world leaders. In 2011, Farrakhan blasted Obama, calling him a “murderer” in response to the death of Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi.
" 'We voted for our brother Barack, a beautiful human being with a sweet heart,” Farrakhan said. “Now he's an assassin.' ”
Speaking of assassins: Iran's Rohani tied to AMIA 1994 bombing   "Indictment by Argentine government investigating bombing says Iranian president connected to decision to launch attack."

Peas in a Pod: Farrakhan sups with Rouhani   "Doesn't it sound like Farrakhan knows Obama pretty well? The two met at the White House back in 2009, according to visitor logs, and he may have been there another time with his family. Prior to that, no self-respecting black politician could run in the state of Illinois without Farrakhan's blessing. Whether the two met back then is unknown, but it's not surprising that Obama would try and hide his connection to such a radical, anti-Semitic, anti-American hater."
