I guess Obama is figuring out dealing with rogue and other hostile nations is a bit tougher than "community organizing"

I honestly think he believes dealing with these enemies of our country is just a bigger and more complex form of "community organizing" and that model will work because it works in the inner city and DC

He is after all a complex man and has a deep understanding of "community organizing" so he naturally would be the right man for the job, so he arrogantly thinks so.

Obama better put on his big boy under roos real soon before he gets lots of Americans killed

I agree. He works for the other guy.The one behind the teleprompter.

Obama said Iran and North Korea “must be held accountable” if they continue to ignore international nuclear weapons treaties.

How do you hold a sovereign nation "accountable" except through the threat or application of military force? Apparently Obama and his ilk think that there's some other way.

Economic sanctions can work if every big player would do it. Unfortunately, Russia and China won’t puinish Iran. Also, we know the religious fanatic leading Iran doesn’t worry about mutually assured destruction. I don’t see any option other than military.

Between Russia and Iran he’s going to have to give and take at the same time.

"Apparently Obama and his ilk think that there's some other way. "

He's hoping that Oprah might do a special, or the Dixie Chicks might right a mean, but catchy tune.

[RobbyS]

Unfortunately this guy will consider every option except military,

"...Between Russia and Iran he’s going to have to give and take at the same time..."

Somehow, that sounds painful.

I am gonzo ......... FRegards
