Mr Barack Hussein Obama's "National Security Plan"

Mr. Obama wants to open up???!!!???

• Cuba -US relations and drop the sanctions. Very good idea as Cuban-Americans are losing their clout anyway and its a great way to outmaneuver Hugo Chavez and his aid to Cuba and better to stop Russia from rebuilding the Lourdes,20 Cuba spy-listening station and building a naval base. Problem: Raul Castro won't open up to the US-he's already signed long term agreements with Russia and Venezuela. Its all part of an Iran-Venezuela, Cuba-Russian conspiracy against the USA. Nice try Mr. Obama--you will actually weaken our position .

• Russia-after spending a good career against the Soviets and Russians the USA should learn we cant negotiate with communists...or worse a Putin mafia and Putin's thugs. Russians are trained to use negotiation to get what they want. Obama wants to drop the missile shield for "Russian"cooperation on Iran----this may prove to be the biggest foreign policy blunder in recent American history. Russia gets us to drop the shield. What does the USA get? Peace in our times-that's what Obama will try and sell to the American public. We should not pander to the Russians at all. We don't need the Russians-they are expanding their intelligence services against us, trying to sabotage NATO and continue to extort the Europeans on energy.

• China-actual cooperation between China and USA is building. Many signs the Chinese are cooperating more with the USA but still would like to push the USA out of the Pacific and build their blue water navy(20years away-maybe more). Bush should be given credit for this-Obama might blow it! Odd man out-the Crazy North Koreans. China has shown a number of examples of cooperation as well as their own foreign policy to expand into the world's shipping lanes, Latin America and Africa.

• Iran- is the biggest problem we have now. Obama wants to drop economic sanctions against Iran, unfreeze their billions in EU and USA assets we have frozen and give Iran oil technology. Obama believes this will lead to better relations with Syria, out maneuver Hezbollah and Hamas and lay the groundwork for Middle east peace. George Mitchell has been instructed to get the Israelis and Palestinians talking but hold off until Iran and USA have an agreement. This will be the greatest foreign policy mistake in our history. Iran will then have money to give more to terrorists and Hezbollah, embolden Syria against Israel and make Iran the regional power in the area. It will block the USA from getting oil access to Central Asia, make us lose face with Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan and Egypt and worse---abandon our best ally in the area-Israel-a democracy!! Unlike sanctions against Cuba which don't work-sanctions against Iran do work? They are working. And what do we get from Iran? That they stop nuclear development? That we must accept a nuclear Iran? That we must agree to a peaceful nuclear Iran? Who knows. Obama does not care. He wants a swift agreement with Iran. Odd man out: Israel. This type of agreement with Iran and the USA will basically abandon Israel. I doubt if the USA today would even offer any support to Israel if they on their own strike at Iran's nuclear plants/facilities.

• Afghanistan-Obama will change his position several times in the next few months. To build up more troops or reduce troops and deal with the Taliban. No one seems to understand Mr. Obama's plans here.

• Venezuela: The worst national security nightmare brewing: Chavez has 5 billion in Russian arms, has funded election victories in Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua and has pumped billions to Cuba. He now is trying to overthrow or influence governments in Argentina, Panama, Costa Rica. His anti-American radio station apparently is winning over the poor all through Latin America while propping up comments about the Chinese, Iran and Russia and Cuba. Iran runs the IVIC nuclear facility in Caracas, Chinese are all over and just built a satellite launch station and are building a billion dollar listening station. Hezbollah trains in several areas as does Al-Queda and Hamas. Russia is planning a naval base and air base with Russian bombers in Venezuela!

Watch Obama to ignore Venezuela altogether! Watch Obama to abandon or downsize support for Israel. Watch for Obama to use the crisis in our economy to reduce, block or minimize the Pentagon and new Intelligence community proposals. Obama's "soft power" approach will be very well greeted by Islamic fundamentalists, leftists and anti-Americans. The "cult" of Obama is rising and he can do no wrong-Europeans are embracing his ideas as will the Islamic world and the leftists world! Obama will give in, appease and get very little in return from Russia,Venezuela, Iran. Eventually America will find sane leadership as when Ronald Reagan came forward. Hopefully it will be in the next presidential election.
