Sanctions have always worked so well in the past. And potluck suppers. Can't we all just get along?

A US strike is off the table now, next week, next month, next year and forever.

Allahu Akbar.

Obama can't even get crippling sanctions against Iran, nor did he support the democracy movement. If he won't do the easiest, obviously he wouldn't do the hardest.

I believe Iran is bluffing their way into being a Nuclear nation.

At this point in time I dont see anyone doing anything that will stop it. Perhaps after they test their first weapon the world will wake up.

hmm...an apostate who’s been drinking beer on-camera...I’m a bit surprised the Jihadis have not reacted to that by now

If someone says to you, “Just wait until I get my gun put together and I’ll blow your head off.” Do you wait until he assembles his gun and then try and take it away or do you take it away from him while its still in pieces.

Obama has said, “Let’s wait until Iran has a missile capable of hitting the U.S. and then we’ll see about taking it away from them.”

“hoping instead negotiations and United Nations sanctions will prevent the Middle East nation from developing nuclear weapons”

Fat chance.

“Do you wait until he assembles his gun and then try and take it away or do you take it away from him while its still in pieces.”

No, you keep yammering the entire time saying “If you do that, I’m really going to get mad.” “Seriously, I am REALLY going to get mad.” “I’m warning you: I’m starting to get really angry now.”

In the meantime, your long-time friend (whom you’ve estranged recently by being rude and petulant the last time you met) sneaks up behind this person and just as he is dropping in the last piece needed to make the gun operational, your friend shoots the gun out of his hand.

Your reaction is to rush over to bandage the wounded enemy’s bleeding hand. You then turn to your friend and shriek “I can’t believe you did that. If you’d given me just another minute, we could have ended this peaceably.”
Obama in a nutshell (and I mean “nut”shell).

This news reminds me of a great scene from the movie — TEAM AMERICA : WORLD POLICE


Kim Jong Il: Hans Brix? Oh no! Oh, herro. Great to see you again, Hans!

Hans Blix: Mr. Il, I was supposed to be allowed to inspect your palace today, but your guards won’t let me enter certain areas.

Kim Jong Il: Hans, Hans, Hans! We’ve been frew this a dozen times. I don’t have any weapons of mass destwuction, OK Hans?

Hans Blix: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN’s collective mind. I’m sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.

Kim Jong Il: Or else what?

Hans Blix: Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you another nasty letter, telling you how angry we are.

Kim Jong Il: OK, Hans. I’ll show you. Stand to your reft.

Hans Blix: [Moves to the left]

Kim Jong Il: A rittle more.

Hans Blix: [Moves to the left again]

Kim Jong Il: Good.

[Opens up trap, Hans falls in]

Yep. Why take the heat from global blowback when you know your “buddy” Israel is going to do what you’re too cowardly to do in the first place? When they attack, you can always claim they sprang too soon and that it was always you intention to attack, but not until you were certain sanctions wouldn’t work. After all, who could ever know what you’re saying is legit or self-serving BS?

The US has to be prepared to not only launch an air strike but be prepared to put boots on the ground in Iran of prevent them from getting nukes.
I don't think that is something the American people will support. So we might as well get used to the idea that they will get them, and eventually supply them to Al Quida to use against the USA..

You give Obama too much credit. After Iran fires missles at Israel and the US, Obama will make a speech that cautions us against jumping to conclusions, we need to think things through. Then he will invite Ahmadinejad to the White House for a beer (assuming of course that it is still there).

"Military force is an option of last resort," Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy said during a press briefing in Singapore. "It's off the table in the near term."

Good.

If Zero ordered use of force against Iran, he'd screw it up. Severely. He'd get a lot of good Americans killed, and fail to accomplish the objective.

Do we want a rehash of "Desert One"?

“Right now the focus is a combination of engagement and pressure in the form of sanctions,” Flournoy said. “We have not seen Iran engage productively in response.”

But we’ll keep doing the same thing expecting different
results...

Frakin idiots.

After Iran fires missles at Israel and the US...

They just need one, a hundred or so miles above the middle of the country (Chicargo works just fine). After that, nothing else will matter. And bear in mind the report a few days ago of Iran having space delivery by 2015.
