Here are Senator Obama's own words and words do matter.
"Iran,
Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union.
They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a
threat to us . . . . Iran, they spend 1/100th of what we spend on the
military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they
wouldn't stand a chance."
He
is clearly sending a signal to Iran, Cuba and Venezuela that he does
not consider them a problem. He has stated he will meet with the
leaders of these countries without preconditions. He uses the
simplistic standard of size of a countries defense budget to determine
who in the world is worthy of being considered a threat. Al Qaeda spent
a total of $500,000 to conduct the attack on 9/11.
Senator Obama
has just signaled to Israel that their neighbor Iran, which has called
for their destruction, is not to be worried about by the United States.
Amazing.
Cuba and Venezuela are spreading Communism throughout
South America and Senator Obama does not think they pose a "serious
threat". I am sure Columbia and our allies in South America do not
agree with him. Senator Obama is signaling that FARC terrorists supported by Venezuela need no longer fear American intervention.
Senator Obama is the greatest threat to the national security of the United States. His own words say so.
