Hot Dogs for Thugs

Despite the thugs running Iran murdering their own citizens and imprisoning them, the Obama State Department is still having them over for hot dogs to celebrate freedom on the 4th of July.

State Department spokesman Ian Kelly: “There’s no thought to rescinding the invitations to Iranian diplomats,”
“We have made a strategic decision to engage on a number of fronts with Iran.” “We tried many years of isolation, and we’re pursuing a different path now.”

Gee, ya think now they'll stop murdering and imprisoning, and building nukes to wipe out Israel? Just be nice to evil and it'll be nice to you. Can you say 'Chamberlain'?

Same with North Korea. Talk show host Roger Hedgecock had an interesting point. He asked a caller, when did North Korea get so belligerent? Hedgecock's take is that it's been since the Pueblo incident. A US ship was captured and the US did nothing about it. The ship, by the way, is a now museum for showing US imperialism. Up until then, North Korea was quiet because they knew not to challenge the US or there would be grave consequences. They tested us with the Pueblo incident, showed we were a paper tiger, and have been nothing but trouble since.

Evil cannot be appeased. They want absolute power to destroy humanity. Period. They only understand force. That's how they see the world.

Being nice to Hitler got us what? Being nice to Stalin got us what? Being nice to Mao got us what? Now we're being nice to the mad mullahs, and getting what? We're being nice to Kim Jong Il and getting what?

North Korea Imprisons Two American Journalists-update

I reported three days ago that two American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, were captured and imprisoned. Their trial is over and they've been convicted. In the secret trial they were sentenced to 12 years hard labor. When the N Korean government has done this in the past, they've used the hostages to negotiate for food and some item they need. Let's hope that's the case here. Gee, I thought our own Dear Leader was supposed to have everyone mellow out and love us by now.

Two American Journalilsts Imprisoned in North Korea

Yet another news item not being reported in the MSM. Two American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, are in prison in North Korea for "engaging in hostile acts". They went on trial yesterday, June 4. Ling is the sister of Lisa Ling, who was co-host at one time for "The View". The only mention of this by Clinton and the State Department was made in a speech at Barnard College in New York. She advised “We have two young women journalists right now in prison in North Korea, and you can get busy on the Internet and let the North Koreans know that we find that absolutely unacceptable.”

Get on the Internet??? Say what? We have two Americans captured by an enemy of the United States. Get on the Internet? It's "unacceptable"? Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi, who was convicted of spying for the U.S. but was released in Tehran on May 12, was due in large measure by the US and US Media making an international fuss. I can't, for the life of me, understand why Clinton, Obama or the State Department have not made any serious effort to get these women out. If they have, why aren't they saying what they are doing? Why isn't the MSM asking Obama what's going on and what he's doing? Requests to the State Department from Conservative media for information have been ignored.
