Obama - Foreign Relations Genius!

Add this one to the pile.

Thanks to Obama ass kissing the Iranians and getting a rep for selling out our allies, the Saudis are getting set to go nuclear on their own.  As long as American pressure could reasonably stop or seriously slow down the Iranian nuclear program, the Saudis were willing to sit tight.  Since Obama basically green lighted the Iranian nuclear program, we now have a genuine nuclear arms race in the Mid East. 

You also might want to consider that as long as only Israel had nukes, outside of Pakistan, only the real Mid East nutcases like Khadaffi or Saddam Hussein were seriously working on their own nukes.  As much as the Arab world hates Israel, they also know that Israel won’t attack them unless attacked first.  They don’t have that sort of faith in Iran or any of Iran’s new buddies.

Here are two articles on the point. 

The first is from The New York Times, dated May 13, 2015.

“We can’t sit back and be nowhere as Iran is allowed to retain much of its capability and amass its research,” one of the Arab leaders preparing to meet Mr. Obama said on Monday, declining to be named until he made his case directly to the president. Prince Turki bin Faisal, the 70-year-old former Saudi intelligence chief, has been touring the world with the same message.

“Whatever the Iranians have, we will have, too,” he said at a recent conference in Seoul, South Korea.

Here’s the gory details:  http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/14/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-promises-to-match-iran-in-nuclear-capability.html

The Sunday Times is mostly behind a paywall, but the head line makes a good summary.

Saudis ‘to get nuclear weapons’

The Times of Israel quotes liberally from the Sunday Times and adds a bit of their own:

How long before even Liberals come to understand how horribly destructive Obama and his policies are?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
