Robert M. Gates....Closet Comedian

Kim Jong-il must be getting a pretty good laugh. With Obama having warmed up the crowd with his new, friendlier, America approach, the comedy styling of our Defense Secretary is rolling on to the stage.

May 3oth, 2009, Robert Gates, US Secretary of Defense speaking on North Korea's nuclear and missile testing:

“We will not stand idly by as North Korea builds the capability to wreak destruction on any target in Asia — or on us,” Gates said.

Yee Haw. At first I thought he was getting ready for a Leno or Saturday Night Live appearance.

I have just a few questions for the honorable Mr. Gates:

Do you know what planet you are on?

Do you realize who you work for?

Do you know your boss is moving rapidly to kill missile defense?

Have you given any thought at all as to why North Korea is making such a dramatic "in your face" move at this time?

Do you really believe, like your boss, that simply talking will solve this problem?

Do you really believe, like your boss, that the U.N. has a good chance of solving this problem?

Do you know what "not stand idly by" means because you really are going to do the opposite of that.

Is it fact that you and your boss really have not figured out the failure of the "sanctions" route?

And please, oh please, when you talk to our European allies about getting tough with North Korea, will you kindly post the meeting minutes on the web.

I need a good laugh too.

Obama...Head up his.....

Wow. Absolutely incredible. The North Koreans have launched their missile in spite the great orator telling them to not do so.

But look at just the last few days leading up to this event and Obama's response which obviously bears no grip in reality in any way whatsoever.

In the few days prior to the launching of this rocket Obama was in Europe with a grand(standing) meeting with 20 world leaders. He went there with big plans to get them to spend stimulus money. They refused.

He made a strong case for NATO to join us with a larger presence in Afghanistan. They refused.

He then gives some great speech about eliminating all nuclear weapons in the world. Yee Haw. Anyone care to guess how long the US remains the US without our nuclear threat? Oh, he's so smart.

So despite the fact that the US is entirely alone in the world when it comes to defense, Obama issues the following statement upon hearing of the missile launch:

"North Korea broke the rules once again by testing a rocket that could be used for long-range missiles," he said. "Now is the time for a strong international response."

I suppose he still believes in the tooth fairy.
