On Obama's speech at the UN, apologizing for the United States. At first after Obama introduction Mark expected to hear a quote from a historical American document, such as the Gettysburg Address. Instead, Obama referred to looking at the last 9 months not history.
On nuclear non-proliferation, Mark discussed this being a silly concept for post cold war world. He points out that, "it's the regime not the technology." He cites the example of New Zealand, "no one worries if New Zealand gets a nuclear bomb."
Mark talked about Zbigniew Brzezinski who, when United States National Security Advisor in the Carter administration was the architect of outsourcing the Afghan resistance against the Soviets. According to Mark, this outsourcing paved the way for Al Qeada. Now Brzezinksi (an Obama advisor) is going after Israel. Brzezinksi suggests that if Israel does take action against Iran, that Israel would need to fly over Iraqi air-space and that U.S. troops in Iraq should shot down Israeli flyers.
In talking about how foolish the UN is currently. He introduced a tangent about the quick response of the U.S. and key allies to disasters, Mark commended the Australian Prime Minister after the tsunami. Apparently the Australian Prime Minister had been asked about some meeting and the quick timing of the aid and the Australian Prime Minister [probably Howard at the time] said in effect that he wasn't going to waste time sitting in a meeting with a, "busted ass country." Mark then described how Obama was sitting on a committee meeting with "bust-ass countries" that included representatives from Burkina Faso. In a UN guide Burkina Faso is described as having a, "poor economy by west African standards."
Mark also discussed the attack environmentalist have now made on two-play and three-play toilet paper.
