National Security Round up-May 31
May 31st, 2010 by David Anderson
I hope you have a reflective Memorial Day as well as a happy one.
There were too many items affecting National Security for me to have time to write up a post on each one.
The first item of interest to me is the wrong headed notion by the Ruling Regime that nuclear weapons are a problem in the world not bad regimes who sponsor terrorism and kill their own innocent people having them. It is like gun control. Taking a gun from me will not make you safer unless you are a thug about to harm my family. Disarming the U. S., India, Britain, or the like will not make the world safer except for thug regimes. The UN is at it again, trying to disarm Israel and not even mention Iran. Most disturbing to Prime Minister Netanyahu is the U. S. delegation seemed to go along. Israel is not bound by Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty because it is not a signer. The idea that Israel may have nukes has kept invasions away since 1973 and made life bearable for the tiny nation.
Iran is aiding the Taliban. Why? Just to make trouble for us. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The House voted to ban Gitmo detainees from the U. S. 282 to 131. The Senate also advanced a similar bill out of committee. This is a major setback for the Obama Regime.
South Korea was tracking 4 North Korean Submarinesthat were watching the South’s naval exercises (they don’t trust them for some reason–more torpedoes?). The 4 ducked them and are missing.
Russia is quietly preparing for a threat from the east. The latest war games mirror the readiness exercises against NATO except they are larger and in the far east. Maybe we should be thinking along the same lines.
Update (Tim Pancoast): More conflict in Gaza. Armed Peace Activists clash with Israel Navy Defence forces. 10 dead.
