POPSThis Must Have Disappointed the Obama Haters Remember all the fear mongering from Obama haters about how Obama was anxious to get chummy with Iranian President Ahmadinejad? This cautionary approach must have come as a rude awakening to them:

POPSAhmadinejad Informs Obama Crew of Iran's Nuke Weapon and Shariah Law Domination Intent Who could not comprehend that the "fundamental" change Ahmadinejad advises Obama to work toward or implement is Shariah law...and who could not read between the lines to know that the "great civilization-building and justice-seeking nation" Mahmoud is referring to is a nuclear arsenal building terror with aims to impose Shariah law whenever, wherever ,and to whatever extent it feels it can be victorious toward.Terror is merely a means to that end

POPS Congratulations! This could be part of the problem. Obama, in his chats with nine world leaders, told SK President Lee the US-ROK relationship is a “cornerstone” of Asian stability. Good thing he noticed. Medvedev rounded on the United States for ills ranging from the global financial crisis to the recent war in Georgia, in a state-of-the-nation speech that was watched intently by his mentor Vladimir Putin, and omitted mentioning Obama by name. http://news.theage.com.au/world/russias-medvedev-hits-out-at-us-20081105-5ilq.html

POPSAhmadinejad's Message to Obama, "Change" Please Congratulates and calls for "change" toward policy of "non-interference" from one of hostile aggression threatening war with Iran and forbidding nuclear energy development. By "selfish minority" he appears to reference the neoconservatives and Israeli Lobby that have controlled war policy contrary (Iraq, et al) to what most Americans believe is right.

POPSAhmadinejad Offers Obama Landmark Congratulations That policy, Ahmadinejad claimed, was "based on warmongering, occupation, bullying, deception and humiliation, as well as discrimination and unfair relations" and has led to "hatred of all nations and majority of governments toward the U.S. leaders." Ahmadinejad also said that Obama is expected to replace such a policy with "an approach based on justice and respect, as well as lack of intervention in the affairs of others." Iranians will welcome such changes, Ahmadinejad added. Saeed Leilaz, an independent analyst in Tehran, said Ahmadinejad's message was a "positive step" that now leaves Washington with the responsibility for the next one. Leilaz added he believes Obama's victory will "weaken radicalism" in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and North Korea.

POPS If Iraqis Could Vote It Would Be For McCain Iraqi men watch a repeat of the final US presidential debate between candidates Barack Obama and John McCain as they smoke waterpaipes at a coffee shop in Baghdad on October 16, 2008. Iraqis in the Baghdad neighbourhood near Rasheed Street say if they could vote in the US election they would choose McCain.

POPSNicholas Burns: We Should Talk to Our Enemies Nicholas Burns started his career as a foreign service officer in 1983. He served in Cairo and Jerusalem, before working in the State Department’s Department of Soviet Affairs. Then in 1990 he shifted onto the National Security Council staff. In 1995 he became Acting Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, and in 1997 he was appointed Ambassador to Greece. In 2001, the George W. Bush administration made him the United States’ Permanent Representative to NATO, and then in 2005 they made him Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs — the number three job in the State Department. This career diplomatic, widely respected and widely experienced, trusted with key missions by the Bush administration, has an article in Newsweek about how yes we should engage in direct, high-level talks with “bad guy” regimes:

POPS Obama's Foreign Policy Judgment In October 2008, the Iranian government announced its own preconditions for one-on-one meetings with the Unites States: Pull all US troops out of the Middle East, and abandon support for “Zionist” Israel. These absurd demands further expose Obama’s very poor judgment vis-a-vis a regime that is actively aiding and abetting terrorists in Iraq who are killing US servicemen. Iran’s “preconditions” prove that negotiating with bad-faith actors who hate Americans and Jews would accomplish nothing other than handing their regime a PR coup. In recent months, Obama’s campaign has continually claimed that he didn’t actually make the promise that he did. The tape does not lie.

POPSIran looking to invest and assist in Sudan Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, in a meeting with his Sudanese counterpart Deng Alor, said a number of dilemmas that the African continent is facing stems from foreign interference. He also said that the ongoing stalemate in Sudan's Darfur region could be solved in the same way as the crisis in southern Sudan was resolved.

POPS Sending Iran's Regrets ~ Michael J. Totten The United States isn't going to abandon a long-standing ally just because terrorists, Jew-hating dictatorships, and a minority of disgruntled American radicals find it distasteful. Even if the vote goes his way and Obama wins the election, Jackson will still have to keep hope alive, as will the Iranians. Withdrawing all U.S. forces from the Middle East likewise is not going to happen. Obama may want to bug out of Iraq as quickly as humanly possible, but there isn't even a small chance that he'll shut down American military bases in Turkey, Kuwait, and Qatar. Iran's preconditions are unacceptable. Whatever preconditions Obama would have, if he had any, would almost certainly be unacceptable from the point of view of the Islamic Repubic. The interests of the U.S. and Iran are diametrically opposite, and they have been since 1979. Obama may not understand this, but at least Tehran does.

POPSWith Obama it'll be America the Weak Even hair plug Biden agrees with this. He predicts big trouble for Obama within 6 months of election. (http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/biden-to-suppor.html) Sensing weakness, our enemies will chew this youngster up and spit him out. Beware the trojan horse. Don't let him in.

POPSThe New Iran: Dangerous, but more rational Author argues that Iran is no longer interested in terrorism, and is no longer a state of "true believers," but is interested conventional power; most immediate danger is from Israel; nuclear power is a bargaining chip, rather than a real desire for a weapon.

POPSOil price plunge hurting mullahs: Ahmadinejad suspends tax hike Iranian merchants are revolting. Very funny. I don't mean their offensive odor. I mean they are protesting the harsh economic times with oil prices slashed by 50% and hurting the economy which is geared to producing nukes. Now how about a full blockade on their ports? No more an act of war than Iran providing explosively formed penetrators to their Iraqi stooges that have been killing our boys in harm's way.

POPSMonster Rally Greets Palin After Debate! Joe Biden says Obama is being misrepresented with his comments on Ahmadinejad. Lie. Biden says Ahmadinejad is not the leader of Iran. He's right. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said today that he does not agree with Barack Obama that the President of the United States should meet with Iranian leaders without preconditions. Dr. Kissinger's video: "No, I do not agree with Barack Obama's position" http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/09/henry-kissinger-responds-i-do-not-agree.html

POPS Cataloguing Biden's Whoppers ..... president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad; he falsely claimed Gov. Sarah Palin supported a windfall profits tax on oil companies; he said he's always been for clean coal in spite of his record of voting against it in the Senate. Biden said we have to drill for more of our own oil, easily leading viewers to conclude he and Obama are in favor of more domestic drilling, but as the American Thinker blog's Rick Moran noted in a list of "Biden's Big Lies," "Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to 'raping' the Outer Continental Shelf." Gov. Palin called Biden on his claim that Gen. David McKiernan in Afghanistan said that the surge could not be applied in Afghanistan; in fact, McKiernan has said that some aspects of Gen. David Petraeus' Iraq strategy could be part of our war efforts in Afghanistan.

POPSAhmadinejad accepts Israel's right to exist Iran's president finally opens himself to the possibility of recognizing Israel's right to exist, and no one reports on it. I am no fan of this bastard, but when he makes threatening statements about Israel, his words make headlines. But when he starts to soften his stance, his words are ignored. Is this because the media is afraid to report anything positive about this man? And who are they afraid of upsetting?

POPSDoes Iran's President deny the Holocaust? (cont.) The German TV-station n24 spreads the following on 2006-12-14 using the title 'Iran's President calls the Holocaust a myth': "The Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has stepped up his verbal attacks against Israel and called the Holocaust a 'myth' used as a pretext by the Europeans to found a Jewish state in the center of the Islamic world . 'In the name of the Holocaust they have created a myth and regard it to be worthier than God, religion and the prophets' the Iranian head of state said."

POPSDoes Iran's President Want Israel Wiped Off The Map? (cont.)When our dear Imam said that the regime must be removed, many of those who claimed to be politically well-informed said it was not possible. All the corrupt governments were in support of the regime when Imam Khomeini started his movement. ]]] and said the removal of the regime was not possible. But our people resisted and it is 27 years now that we have survived without a regime dependent on the United States. The tyranny of the East and the West over the world should have to end, but weak people who can see only what lies in front of them cannot believe this. Who would believe that one day we could witness the collapse of the Eastern Empire? But we could watch its fall in our lifetime. And it collapsed in a way that we have to refer to libraries because no trace of it is left. Imam said Sadda

POPSKissinger Says Obama Is Wrong on Position in Debate Tonight Kissinger Unhappy About Obama He says: "Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality." This reply by Kissinger should find greater exposure to show that Obama really is out of his depth on foreign policy issues. Let's hope the Old Media corrects the record.
