Despite
the anemic economic growth in the nation, the presumably popularity of
President Barack Hussein Obama over presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and the
recently lower percentage of unemployment divulged by the current
administration, there is something that has affected the security, sovereignty,
and destiny of our nation, and the support we traditionally have shown to our
allies, among them Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu sent a message to all American voters, to think and elect the right
president, who is aware of the threat of global terrorism, and especially a
president who is firm and has the conviction to draw the line on tolerance with
the regime of Iran. President Barack
Hussein Obama's promises to stand by Israel is nothing but a broken record all
voters must discard. The imminent and
continuous threat of Ahmadenejad‘s regime toward Israel is not only crossing
the lines, spitting over United Nations inspectors, but also defeating the
leadership of the American president.
The United States is losing control in the Middle East and Africa as
protests growth by the minute in Syria, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Jordan,
Iran, Iraq, Algeria, and Afghanistan feeding anti-Western sentiments and
defeating the physical security of American embassies and consulates around the
world. The loss of Ambassador
Christopher Stevens was a premeditated terrorist attack; however, Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton not only thinks it was not a premeditated attack but
questions how this can happened in a nation the United States helped to removed
Muammar Qadhafi from power. It is not a complex case; the current
administration either fails to accept the reality, or it simply still is loss
in matters of national security and tries to feed the American public with
wrongful and deliberated inaccurate information. Libyan President Mohamed El-Magariaf said he is convinced the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi was premeditated, as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said that the protests
near the consulate began spontaneously, but were later hijacked by
armed extremists. It seems that the
current administration intelligence community needs to be reminded of the
famous Curve of Conflict and analyze it better before Secretary of State
launched a ridiculous message to the nation.
The lack of proper security, especially during the anniversary of
September 11, and the belief that Libya is now a friendly nation of the United
States is the clear reflection of a naïve and typical defective security
system. We have seen this approach
before; we thought Pakistan was a fiercely allied and we forgot that the
masterminded of the first attack to the World Trade Center, Ramsey Yousef seek
shelter in Pakistan, and Islamabad was the protective shelter to Osama Bin
Laden. This inability to execute proper
and firm decisions, and strategies toward the threat of global terrorism has
broken the trust of having this administration in charge of affairs not well
known to them. On the other hand, the
broken trust affects America’s allies, especially Israel. The Obama administration simply sends the
message that the foreign policy and development of current violent events in
the Middle East disregards national security as the security of our
allies. The continuous position of this
administration that everything that is currently happening in the region is
spontaneous is mere irresponsibility and complete disregard, to the point that
it seems there is a hidden sympathetic feeling with jihad.
The next president must step firm and draw the
line of tolerance with Iran immediately after taking charge of the Oval
Office. If the Obama strategy is to stay
away from this approach and to suggest Israel to attack Iran first so it does
not look that the United States started to stir the pot of war, he is
absolutely wrong and it only reflects his lack of leadership once again, and
helps to a fastest fading of trust from Israel to the United States. If Israel attacks Iran first, this will be
the seal to the ignorance, miscalculation, and premeditated criminal action
from this administration. In the next
elections, America needs a leader, a true American.
