U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates issued a warning to opponents of the United States on Saturday against trying to take advantage of the early months of the new Washington administration to "test" U.S. resolve.

Gates also said the United States would remain deeply involved in efforts to achieve stability in the Middle East and the Gulf under incoming president Barack Obama's administration.
Blah, blah, blah  Basically it just warns evil doers of the world not to test Obama, cause we're America and stuff. Ya hear?!
Hmmm. Not impressed.

(Sing to the Christmas tune)
Ohhhhh, you better not try,
You better not plot,
You better not fly your planes and what-not.
You don't want Obama to Cryyyyyyy.

He'll phone you when you sleeping,
He'll call when your drinking grog,
You'll have to hear his weeping,
Cause he just wants to dialog!

So you you better watch out,
No "Allah Akbar" shout,
Don't you test us, you terrorist lout,
Obama will talk you right out.

(Chorus kicks in)
He really means it! Obama! He just won't shut up! Yeah!

Don't test him because he's not ready???

What a rather bizarre statement. I don't understand why he would say that because those kinds of admonishments have worked so well in the past.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Great now I have that song stuck in my head! :evillaugh:

Sounds like a petulant child.  "Don't be mean to me or I will, I will, I will....... Well I don't know what I will do but it will be baaaaaaad!"

I expect the response would be something like this....
1. Al Qaeda nukes a city in the U.S.
2. Obama (if he is still alive and not smoldering charcoal at the time) runs to the U.N. for sanctions.
3. Al Qaeda nukes another city.
4. Biden shakes his angry fists at them.
5. The U.N. decides to have a meeting about the situation but can't for about 6 months.
6. Bin Laden tap dances at the Lincoln Memorial.
7. The United States of Red Country erects a wall to keep the liberals out and under command of the religion of peace.
8. The allied forces of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and the NRA take back the country after the riff raff is taken care of.
9. President Rick Santorum prays at the foot of Lincoln asking God for forgiveness for some people being so stupid, scrubs down D.C. and reunites the rest of the country.
10. Walmart celebrates by giving free ammo with every purchase for a year!

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

BOY! I bet that's got'em shaking in their boots. ....Obama is a bad ass, ain't he.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
