When they said “restart button,” did they mean the Soviets arming Israel’s enemies? Because that’s what’s happening. Russia is sending ship-killing cruise missiles to Syria. Gee. Wonder where they’re going to end up? [cough] Lebanon! [cough]

The Obama Doctrine defined: And apparently it’s, “Let the UN take care of business.” The Security Council issued sanctions against Libya and referred Ghaddafy to the ICJ for war crimes. Did he send the Sixth Fleet towards Libya? Did he help the people of Libya by getting a no-fly zone enforced? Nope. Not our problem, apparently. The fact that world oil prices are crashing upwards at warp speed? Feh. Obama wants $5/gallon gas. He thinks that would cause Americans to conserve more. And screw the economy. He can always print more money, right? And raise more taxes. Right? Right? Anyone? Bueller?

Another kassam, another biased Hamas news release from the media: They’re landing daily now, and get a load of this biased piece of crap by AFP. In the lead, third paragraph:

The missile fire came after the Israeli military launched on Saturday overnight air raids across the Gaza Strip, targeting militant training camps.

Really? That’s why the missile was fired?

No. In the seventh paragraph, after devoting four paragraphs to the Israeli “raids,” we are given this information:

The air raids came after tensions rose along the Israel-Gaza border this week following clashes in which an Islamic Jihad gunman was killed and a rocket attack on the Israeli city of Beersheba that hit a house but caused no casualties.

That’s barely an explanation of what happened. Here’s how it actually occurred: Terrorists set off bombs on the border and fired mortars at the IDF. The IDF returned fire, hitting the terrorists. Terrorists then sent a Grad rocket into Beersheba. The IDF then targeted Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorist rocket squads. But you wouldn’t know that if you only read the wire services, which always see the cause as IDF “retaliation,” not the attacks that caused the “retaliation.” But of course, that’s not the narrative the media wants you to read.

    Let’s see…Iran…anti-American regime…Obama keeps quiet. Egypt…pro-American regime…Obama urges the dictator to leave. Librya…anti-American regime…Obama keeps quiet.

    If I were a cynic, Meryl, I’d say that Obama actually buys into that transnational progressive idea that anti-American regimes have an authenticity that pro-American ones don’t. But I’m a trusting soul and I’m sure there’s some other reason.

    Obama hides behind the guise of clueless while in reality he is conducting business with malice aforethought against America and Americans.
