The Wuss-in-Chief will tell everybody to play nicely together, then go hide under his desk. He's faking it and he doesn't believe in American interests, anyway.

The U.S. has a vital interest in maintaining the regional stability that is indispensable for the preservation of peace and for any prospect of a two-state solution. What exactly is the US vital interest? If Israel didn't exist, would the US be that much worse off? Tibet doesn't exist, and the US seems to be fine. Iraq could be split into 3 different countries, and the US would be fine. The UAE and Kuwait could be absorbed into Saudi Arabi (or into Iraq and Oman, respectively) and the US would be fine. Cuba went communist 50 years ago, we we were fine. Why in the world does Israel's global status have significance for the US interest's worldwide?

Myanmar's Secret Nuclear Program Revealed Defector Says North Korea Helping Myanmar Develop Nuclear Weapons Program abcnews.go.com By JIM SCIUTTO June 4, 2010— With the help of North Korea, Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, has acquired components for a nuclear weapons program, including technology for uranium enrichment and long-range missiles, ABC News has learned. A defector from Myanmar -- an army major and deputy commander of a top-secret nuclear facility -- escaped the country with thousands of files detailing a secret nuclear and missile program. "The purpose is they really want a bomb. That is their main objective," said defector Sai Thein Win, the major who says he visited the installations and attended meetings at which the new technology was demonstrated. "They want to have the rockets and nuclear warhead," he said. For More Watch 'GMA' News at 7 a.m. ET The dissident group Democratic Voice of Burma commissioned an analysis of the information. ABC News is the only U.S. television network given access to the interviews and documentary evidence. The pictures and blueprints show missiles, components for uranium enrichment and the secret nuclear facility, located near the city of Maymo. The defector said that's where Myanmar intends to build a nuclear reactor and enrich uranium for weapons. The regime has long feared an attack by the United States and feels threatened by its own people, who staged an uprising in 2007. While the program appears to be in its early stages, United Nations experts have studied the report and consider it credible. U.S. Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., canceled a trip to Myanmar Thursday to study the evidence.
