Something happened last week in the middle east that hasn't happened since 1979 when Jimmy Carter was president. Two Iranian warships passed through the Suez Canal from the Red Sea into the Mediterranean without a comment from the US.
Until now, the Iranians would have never even requested permission to transit the canal because they knew it would never be granted by Mubarak.
For some time the relationship between Iran and Venezuela has grown ever warmer and closer. The implications of this alliance should be causing concern for America.
Some leading intelligence experts are becoming concerned that Iran could use Venezuela as a launching point for a simple, yet clever attack on the US.

Oh they were just out for a boat ride, no need to be alarmed. And what business is it of ours if Iran decides to park a few nuke's in Venezuela?
All country's are doing everything they always wanted to but couldn't because of U.S. influence! Now that we no longer have any influence, no leader and have become just a big joke across the entire planet everyone is doing whatever they wish!
I thought China was going to be the new super power, funny how silent they are on everything going on around the world!
I just hope we can survive the next two years till we can once again have an actual president!

China's too silent.
This lack of security will end up haunting us in the future. This was my biggest concern with such an inexperienced leader running our country.

China doesn't give a rip as long as it doesn't bother their economic's or bottom line. They know the U.S., Britain, etc. will worry with all of that like they always do. While we're busy fighting wars and blowing money they focus their attention on opening more factory's, selling more goods and buying up more resource's! At some point in time I imagine they'll need alot more oil than we do and will have money to pay for it vs's our only have an IOU to hand out for it, guess who the oil producer's will sell to?

I heard on the news yesterday that we have warships headed for Libya. Why do we think we have to play referee all over the world. Let them kill each other off, then make nice with the winner is my strategy.
Hillary's been spouting off that Gaddafi is a tyrant, a killer, and needs to step down and he may have to be forced to militarily. But, why do we have to be the ones to do it again?
He may be all of that, but he hasn't been a problem for quite a few years. If he wins this coup, he won't be so friendly with the US. Why not keep your yap shut and play a "wait & see" game?

Inexperience, ignorant? Need anymore reason's? lol.
Reagan shut him up years ago when he bombed his house! No one has any fear of Obama, they all see him for what he is, just a little nerd pretending to be president for a couple of years.
When it's all said and done though, all middle east country's will look real similar to Iran!
