North Korea Missile Test

By Brigitte Gabriel

Obama's failure to deal with North Korea a few weeks ago when they did their missile test, as well as with Iran, is emboldening our enemy to move more aggressively in developing nuclear and missile technology. Both North Korea and Iran feel they have cart blanche to finish their missile because if the first 100 days of President Obama were any indication, they can see that America is strong in words but weak in action and lacks the leadership to stop them.

Brigitte Gabriel, the New York Times bestselling author of They Must Be Stopped and president of Act! for America can provide in-depth analysis and commentary on North Korea and Iran.

Because of this lack of confidence in America's strength, some of our allies are taking things into their own hands to ensure their own security. For example, last Friday Jordan signed a 10-year nuclear cooperation agreement with Russia to build four power plants in Jordan, the Russian news agency Novosti reported. This is in reaction to Iran's nuclear development in the Middle East.

President Obama must exercise his options to stop the North Koreans from moving forward and show strength to the rest of the world that is watching him being tested over and over. He must put pressure on China to exercise its power over North Korea. China can threaten to cut off their oil supply to North Korea. This is an immediate and first step that President Obama can take.
We must play the Japan card against China. China's greatest fear is of the Japanese developing military power, which America can play a major part in making happen. This is President Obama's opportunity to show the world that he does have the leadership ability to protect America's interest.
