The Yellow Red Line

The Washington Post: "The most morally crimped speech by a president in modern times." That description of President Obama's address to the United Nations this week came not from conservative critics but from the editorial page of The Washington Post.

Anybody remember The Obama Cairo speech where he claimed that Housni Mubarak, the Egyptian people and Islam in general have much in common with the American people. At the same time the Obama administration asserted that Assad was a natural US ally, because after all he was an educated man. A doctor who had done his post graduate studies in London, loves western music (especially Chris Brown...wonder why?) and married Asma, educated in the UK with degrees in computer science and French literature. Almost a copy of Obama himself. Well we all know how that turned out...."Mubarak must go!" and then..."Assad must go!"

Lets take a look at all US Allies when the great speechmaker took office. There was the UK, Europe including France and Germany, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, India, most of South America, Africa and so on. Remember how, just a few years ago former Russian Satellites Armenia, Georgia, Belarus and the Ukraine amongst others were all potential US Allies? Thats all gone now. So whats left? US weakness has never been more emphasized than the obscene speech by Obama at the UN.

The red line? What red line? Assad is now the only legitimate leader in Syria today. Anyone (including the UN) who wants to rid Syria of chemical weapons, must talk to Assad. Anyone who believes that it is technically possible to rid the world of Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons must be as naive as Obama.  As for the Middle east, the only influential leader left is Putin. Iran of course understands that there is no longer a military option with Obama in office. They can afford to chat up the Americans. It leaves them an open highway to Nuclear weapons. Imagine the shock experienced by Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, Turkey, Egypt and the rest of the Sunni world. Israel has never trusted Obama, so less of a shock there. Putin, Assad, Hizbullah and Khameini must be laughing all the way to the bank.

We are witnessing the greatest collapse in US foreign policy in US History, led by a man who easily is the most isolated leader in modern times. To be remembered for legitimizing mass murder, genocide, rape in all its forms, WMD's in all its forms, terrorist organizations (Hizbullah and Al Qaeda) and a world where Gay folk are systematically and brutally eradicated. All it took was one telephone call.
