North Korea and Iran

Today's news makes clear why the Obama administration is so focused on the Israeli settlements -- it has no idea what to do with North Korea or Iran. The farce of an election in Iran has made clear that the Obama "policy" of open dialogue with Iran has failed. Indeed, the Iranians got Obama to look like an idiot with his self pronounced excitement at the open and honest election that was held by Iran. Long lines of voters with purple fingers does not equate to democracy when the Mullahs simply pick the winner and make up the number of votes to fit their desires. Obama right now is too embarrassed to do anything. That's the way the mullahs like it. Regarding North Korea, the Obamacrats have done nothing. Oh sure there has been a UN resolution. Those gems of diplomatic doublespeak usually have immediate consequences if one counts North Korea's totally ignoring them as a consequence. Otherwise, they do nothing. Just like the administration. NOTHING!!! Is it so hard for the Obamacrats to come up with even one area where they could show displeasure with the NK's or the Iranians? Indeed, even on the issue of the Israeli settlements where Obama made such a big deal out of pushing Netanyahu to freeze growth, Obama has lost. Bibi made the perfect speech that boxes in Obama by agreeing to what he demanded in part without agreeing in any meaningful way to the nonsense that Obama was also pushing. the administration even called the speech encouraging and a step forward. Of course, the settlements are not frozen and nothing has changed.

Once again, the man who thinks that appearances transcend reality has taken US foreign policy into his fantasy land run by PR people and governed with talking points. Unfortunately fot the US, however, our enemies do not follow Obama's nonsense rules.
