Excerpt:
In the most serious attack for over 20 years, a North Korean torpedo was found to be responsible for the sinking of the Cheonan, a 300-ft South Korean warship, which sank on March 26 with the loss of 46 lives.
[…]China, the last major ally of Pyongyang, gave a cautious and lukewarm response, saying that all parties should “remain calm” and that it would conduct its own “assessment” of the findings. Without China’s support at the UN Security Council, North Korea is likely to escape punishment.
An official report, carried out by South Korean investigators together with teams from the United States, Britain, Australia and Sweden, said the evidence pointed “overwhelmingly to the conclusion that the torpedo was fired by a North Korean submarine.” It added: “There is no other plausible explanation.”
I’m sure this attack has nothing at all to do with Obama being the president. Just like it’s purely a coincidence that we’ve suffered FIVE terrorist attacks under Obama, but NONE under Bush following his military response to the 9/11 attack in Afghanistan and Iraq. I’m sure that despots and tyrants fear Obama’s bowing and apologizing more than they fear Tomahawk cruise missiles and AC-130 gunships.
And what does Hillary Clinton think of China?
Excerpt:
At the start of a four-day visit whose centerpiece will be talks in Beijing about strategic and economic matters, Clinton spent a misty morning at the Expo, an emblem of China’s rise on the world stage.
Dressed in a powder blue jacket to match the Expo’s plump, cartoonish mascot, Clinton walked through the U.S. and Chinese national “pavilions” shaking hands, posing for pictures and talking up the importance of people-to-people ties.
She avoided any public discussion of the issues that will occupy her in Beijing, including North Korea’s suspected sinking of a South Korean warship, Iran’s nuclear program, and U.S. calls for China to allow its currency to appreciate.
[…]Thanks partly to her intervention, major U.S. companies stepped up to the plate to fund the pavilion, whose attractions include three films highlighting the American way of life.
[…]Clinton handed out teddy bears to children in the audience.
The films made no explicit reference to democracy, human rights, freedom of religion or other political issues where the United States has long criticized China’s record.
The U.S. exhibit ends with a gift shop where a great many products — from teddy bears and stuffed bison to silver lapel pins and pink cowboy hats — were all marked “Made in China.”
A vote for “moral equivalence” leftists is a vote against world peace. People are having their human rights violated. People are being silenced, tortured and murdered. And what are the Democrats doing? Insulting America abroad and handing out teddy bears. Weakness. Appeasement. Emboldening the forces of evil.
