Video: Obama – A Secretly Quacking Duck (Netanyahu Speech)

An excerpt from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to AIPAC last night (05 Mar 2012):

“If it [Iran] looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then what is it? It is a duck — but this duck is a nuclear duck,”

What a perfect metaphor for the current threat Israel faces with Iran.

His speech last night on the Iranian nuclear threat reminded me of President Ronald Reagan’s uplifting speeches.

We need a president with wisdom and chutzpah like his.

Netanyahu leaves Obama looking like the weak, forked-tongue, liberal progressive, secret Jew-hating Muslim that he truly is.

Netanyahu is the man.

GO ISRAEL!

North Korea’s Dictator Kim Jong-il On Last Leg

The Times of London says Japan’s Fuji Television (that’s who the particular spy agency gave the footage to) has footage of North Korea’s Kim Jong-il’s eldest son Kim Jong-nam entering a clinic in Paris to solicit the services of a top brain surgeon.

Of course, France has laws that keep such clandestine visits and medical information private.

Dictator Kim Jong-il is 66-years-old and supposedly suffered from a serious stroke. Meanwhile, American and British intelligence agencies are doing their best to gather information about North Korea’s infighting regarding who’s going to end up controlling the rogue state once the dust settles.

Nuclear Proliferators Have A New Model to Follow

From WSJ Op/Ed:

Bush’s North Korea Surrender Will Have Lasting Consequences

North Korea has now achieved one of its most-prized objectives: removal from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism. In exchange, the U.S. has received “promises” on verification that are vague and amount to an agreement to negotiate the critical points later.

Nuclear Knuckleheads

Remember a couple of years ago when our military mistakenly shipped four fuses for nuclear missiles to Taiwan and never realized the mistake until Taiwan returned the shipment, since it was something Taiwan hadn’t ordered and presumably had no use for?

How could it be that the U.S. military employees can ship whatever they want wherever they want and nobody knows anything about it?

Sounds like a pretty dangerous situation to me.

Iran Says Its Nuclear Program Capability Is Substantially Increased

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says his nation has more than 5,000 centrifuges for enriching uranium. He also signals a possible willingness to stop expanding, a precondition for talks with the West.

by Borzou Daragahi and Ramin Mostaghim

TEHRAN — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that his country had dramatically expanded the number of machines at its disposal producing enriched uranium, defying international demands for the country to halt the production of nuclear material.

US-Iran Cold War Update

Iran is still moving in millimeters while the US is going the full distance

Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, recently compared the pace of diplomacy to that of weaving Persian carpets, saying that progress sometimes “moves forward in millimeters.” Regardless of whatever illusions the Iranians may hold, the international community is unlikely to wait for a year – the length of time it takes skilled weavers to craft more elaborate, larger rugs – to resolve the standoff over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. As a matter of fact, they have given Iran a deadline of two weeks to respond to their latest offer of incentives, and in all probability they will react to any failure on Iran’s part to do so by implementing a tougher set of sanctions.

Nobody is more eager to hear a response from the Iranians than the Americans, who in a dramatic about-face sent one of their top diplomats from Washington to Geneva to participate in the latest round of nuclear talks. Although US officials have denied that the gesture was a reversal from their previous approach of “isolating” Iran, everyone knows that the Bush administration was quietly forced to abandon a policy that had clearly failed to achieve results. Likewise, it is now obvious that the American move has completely altered the appearance of the diplomatic process. Readjustments in the US stance have made the Americans appear to be the more flexible party in the Iranian-American cold war, whereas before the lack of progress could be blamed on a duo of obstinate rivals. Even the most pro-Iranian observer cannot deny that the Americans have now gone 180 degrees and more than 6,550 kilometers from Washington to Geneva, while the Iranians are still talking about progressing in millimeters.

American diplomats have now shown ample willingess to engage in diplomacy, rather than warfare, to solve this dispute. Dragging out the process of negotiations is therefore no longer a viable option for the Iranian regime. Yes, all of the parties involved in the talks understand that any movement on the Iranian nuclear file requires the approval of the supreme leader, and that translating and conveying the content of the latest talks will take some time. What they will not understand, however, is if the Iranians take the two week leeway period and then come back with a vague response. Only a clear “yes” or “no” will suffice. Now that the Americans have gone to such great lengths with diplomacy, one would hope that the Iranians will meet them halfway.

John Von Neumann, Not Al Gore

John Von Neumann Father of the PC

They say Al Gore invented the Internet. It’s surprising they didn’t give him the Nobel Prize for that. As we know, the Internet was actually developed in secret by the United States Military for internal communications purposes. We used it among ourselves for years and finally decided it might not be a half bad idea to let the thing loose on the world and see what happens.

It wasn’t long before that that computers became small enough and affordable enough and enough people bought them that the U.S. Government had seen PCs were already revolutionizing the way the world operates. With phone lines and cable already in place, and computers already in people’s homes, it wasn’t much of a leap to get everyone hooked into the Internet.

And that’s exactly what happened. About two nanoseconds later in the grand scheme of things we are in the here and now, finding it difficult to imagine life before the PC and the Internet.

Where’s the Bomb?

Where Are North Korea’s Nuclear Weapons? They Seem To Have Left That Out.

SEOUL: Yesterday North Korea handed over of a long-awaited accounting of its nuclear work which although a good step, it falls short of information on its nuclear arsenal, experts said. North Korea delivered the 60-page declaration of its nuclear material and programs to China, which hosts six-nation disarmament negotiations that began in 2003.

Iran Is A Ticking Time Bomb

Remember shortly before the Lebanon War two years ago when Syria established a treaty with Iran, the gist of which stated:

Crackdown on Iranian Banks

After Iran failed to comply with UN demands to halt the enrichment of uranium or to agree to full IAEA oversight of its nuclear program, that the United Nations passed resolutions 1737 and 1747 respectively. The first was passed in December 2006 and the second in March 2007.

In October 2007, the United States established sanctions against Iran under EO 13382 designations for proliferation activities and EO 13224 designations for providing material support to the Taliban and other terrorist organizations.

The U.N. Security Council passed a third sanction resolution against Iran in April 2008.

In May 2008 U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the United States would “aggressively” impose more sanctions on Iran as long as it refused to give up nuclear work

The European Union and the United States have warned Iran we are prepared to go beyond UN sanctions if Iran shuns demands to suspend sensitive nuclear work. Now Washington and the EU are working to deny Iranian banks access to the international financial system.

The new steps include a crackdown on Iranian banks “to ensure Iranian banks cannot abuse the international banking system to support proliferation and terrorism.”

Government Usually Squeezes People Out

It’s rare when the government actually fires someone. Most of the time it uses all the dirty tricks it has at its disposal. Same with big companies too. They’re all similar in how they operate nowadays. So it always comes as a big relief that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates actually had the cajones to do it the old fashioned way, and fire a couple of scumbags. My hat’s off to Gates for being up front about what happened and practically executing these two guys is a beautiful thing.

The top Air Force guys who screwed up big time and are being handed their heads are Secretary of the Air Force Michael Wynne and his Chief of Staff Michael Moseley.

There are just so many times you can get caught steering contracts to retired generals and get away with it. That’s pretty normal stuff so the idea is, do as much illegal stuff as you want and we’ll all have a don’t ask don’t tell mechanism with dealing with it.

However, when you send Taiwan major stuff you’re not supposed to have sent there, obviously someone’s up to no good. Looks like the Defense Secretary, who’s always the last to know what’s really going on under him, somehow found out. Now that’s really weird.

And for him to do nothing, although that’s normal, it looks like Gates must not be normal. I guess he’s realizing there’s going to be an election soon, so it’s good to make a few headlines on your own for something you didn’t do wrong.

How Moseley and Wynne got off the hook when they illegally gave a contract to Strategic Message Solutions (SMS), a company connected to a retired general, I can’t say. They just got little notes put in the files for the kind of thing most of us would get fired and prosecuted for.

Last year Gates fired Army Secretary Francis Harvey. I guess he’s finally learning how it’s done.

Jews in the Pressure-Cooker

Yesterday, while President Bush was meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister, an Arab (or Iranian) missile landed in a crowded Israeli shopping district wounding lots of Jews. Today an Arab (or Iranian) missile landed on an Israeli synagogue. The missiles are coming from land that Muslims seem to be begging Israel to come back into, otherwise, why would they be causing such a ruckus? IslamoNazis fire on Israel and nobody hears about it.

Big Guns: Israel Doesn’t Need USA to Counter Attack Iran

From MSNBC’s Robert Windrem:

‘OBLITERATE?’ ISRAEL CAN DEFEND ITSELF

Hillary Clinton has pledged to “obliterate” Iran if it strikes Israel with nuclear weapons (it doesn’t yet have). Iran has protested the Democratic presidential candidate’s fiery rhetoric as a violation of the UN Charter and asked for Security Council action. Sen. Barack Obama has condemned Senator Clinton’s statement.

All the sturm and drang misses one critical point.

Israel does not need the US to counter attack. Israel has the world’s sixth largest arsenal of nuclear weapons, behind only the US, Russia, China, the UK and (maybe) France. It can handle ANY Iranian threat on its own, thank you very much.

Hillary Vows ‘Massive’ U.S. Retaliation if Iran Attacks Israel

Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed if Iran nukes Israel, America’s response will be massive retaliation.

Some are glad to hear that. But in the meantime, Iran will have just killed half the world’s Jews. We know that’s what Iran intends to do. We even know Iran is itching to use all their non-nuclear missiles on Israel. Iran is already arming all its allies with missiles pointed at Israel. Israel is bombed everyday, thanks to Iran’s support and materiel.

What’s Israel have to say about all this?
