Obama Waives Sanctions On Countries That Use Child Soldiers


U.S. President Barack Obama issued a new executive order last week to fight human trafficking, touting his administration's handling of the issue.

"When a little boy is kidnapped, turned into a child soldier, forced to kill or be killed -- that's slavery," Obama said in a speech at the Clinton Global Initiative. "It is barbaric, and it is evil, and it has no place in a civilized world. Now, as a nation, we've long rejected such cruelty."

But for the third year in a row, Obama has waived almost all U.S. sanctions that would punish certain countries that use child soldiers, upsetting many in the human rights community.

Obama Admits Belief in Redistribution of Wealth.

Barack Obama explaining how he does believe in redistribution of wealth.  Just to clarify.  This means, Taking YOUR Wealth and giving it to OTHER people.  This concept was made famous in a quote by Karl Marx, "FROM EACH according to his ability, TO EACH according to his need".  To be even clearer, that is, your wealth (money, property, resources) should be given to others who need it more than you, as determined by the government.  If this is our president's vision for America then all I can say is "Count me out Comrade!!".

U.S. Ignored Israeli Warnings About Radicalization in Mideast

www.haaretz.com | For months before the most recent attacks on U.S. embassies in North African states, Foreign Ministry and U.S. State Department officials had been arguing over developments in these countries. Senior figures in Jerusalem claimed that Washington was burying its head in the sand and ignoring the increasing radicalization in states such as Tunisia and Egypt.

The Obama administration, which since the beginning of the Arab Spring has aided, directly or indirectly, the forces that brought down the dictatorial regimes in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Lybia, now finds itself in a position of helplessness. The attack on the consulate in Benghazi, in which the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, was killed, and the storming of the U.S. embassies in Tunis, Sanaa and Cairo, proved the great hostility to the United States and the unwillingness of these country's new leaders to challenge domestic public opinion.

Senior Foreign Ministry officials say their conversations with their Washington counterparts have focused on what Jerusalem terms "radicalizing trends" against not only Israel but also against the United States and the West in general.
