This idea is an embarrassing nonstarter for the Obama camp because it fails to address the use of proxies by Iran. But, reading between the lines, it appears the crux of this story is Obama’s reversal of his stand that Iran’s pursuit of nukes is “unacceptable.” To quote Sarkozy (said to Israel back in October, but still applicable today)…”Obama’s stand on Iran is “utterly immature…”

Here is an excerpt and link to the story at Fox News…

President-elect Barack Obama will offer Israel a strategic pact designed to fend off any nuclear attack on the Jewish state by Iran, an Israeli newspaper reported on Thursday.

Haaretz, quoting an unnamed source, said the Obama administration would pledge under the proposed “nuclear umbrella” to respond to any Iranian strike on Israel with a “devastating U.S. nuclear response.”

Granting Israel a nuclear guarantee would essentially suggest the U.S. is willing to come to terms with a nuclear Iran, the paper reported.

These guys just don’t play well with others (excerpt from AP)…

The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites Wednesday, that Obama is “the direct opposite of honorable black Americans” like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.

Al-Zawahri also called Obama—along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice—”house negroes.”

We posted an embed of the original video of Obama’s plans for his own private army back in July.

Damn strange, that!

UPDATE: Russia intends to humiliate Obama

Russia wasted no time in setting up its first of many challenges for Obama. I wonder how he will respond now that the MSM can’t protect him.

Welcome to the real world Barry. No more softball or affirmative action…you’re in the big leagues now!

Russia’s president Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday became the first world leader to throw down a gauntlet to US president-elect Barack Obama, declaring that the Kremlin would station missiles in the tiny Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, which borders Poland, in response to US plans for an anti-missile system in Eastern Europe.

Well, I guess not all the world is fawning over “The One”.

Per Haaretz (excerpt–emphasis added)…

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama’s positions on Iran, according to reports that have reached Israel’s government.

Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate’s stance on Iran as “utterly immature” and comprised of “formulations empty of all content.”

This event happened 50 years ago but was announced yesterday and reported by FoxNews.com today. Solid evidence that people are getting tired of election news and need a little interesting diversion (excerpt and link).

A former Top Gun said Sunday he was ordered to shoot down a massive UFO over Norwich, England, 50 years ago.

RAF controllers told U.S. pilot Milton Torres to “lock on” and launch all 24 of his rockets over the city.
