Washington acknowledges in US TV interview that Teheran with nuclear weapons is a "real problem," but US still "open to diplomatic solution."

US President Barack Obama acknowledged that Teheran posessing a nuclear weapon would present a "real problem," in a Monday interview with American news station CNBC cited by Reuters. However, the Amerian president stated that he did not think military action by Israel or the United States was the "ideal way" the threat posed by the Islamic regime's nuclear proliferation effort.

"We continue to be open to diplomatic solutions to resolve this," Obama told CNBC.

"We don't think that a war between Israel and Iran or military options would be the ideal way to solve this problem. But we are keeping all our options on the table," he said.

How about supporting a government in exile and supplying weapons to the opposition? Have we gone soft????

No solution is ideal now that we’ve allowed it to cross the line of no return. I absolutely stand vindicated when I said we might have been able to survive this man as President in peace time, but under no circumstances should we have given him the reins during war time. I thought, at the time, the guy was basically a left of center domestic policy guy.

Since then, he’s proved he’s so far left of center that he can’t even implement domestic policy either. He can dream it up, but nobody is buying it. Sad.

And what is the ideal solution? Just hoping the problem goes away? No. This administration is set on just living with a nuclear-armed Iran. That’s why there is nothing going on, negotiations or otherwise, to stop it. Sanctions have failed. We can’t get a robust sanctions regime. And this sell-out administration couldn’t give a rip if Iran has a nuke. What does Obamacare if they nuke Israel?

He’s not keen on the idea of bombing his brother Muslims? Now who would have thought that.

How much you want to bet he puts Jimmah Caataah in charge of his Iranian policy?

There is no “ideal” option to this situation, Mr Obama. But you know just as well as every one else that there is only one option with any possibility of being successful.

Yes that option, Mr. Chicken.

The ideal solution is a merger of the Obama Caliphate
and Iran, perhaps?

I guess he didn’t mention the US troops who were kidnapped by Iran from Afghanistan?

War is never the ideal solution. Just like shooting the guy who has a knife at your child’s throat is not ideal. But the decision has to be made in real time and you have to make the best choice of available choices. Otherwise your child will be dead.

But America should have known this guy is an empty suit afraid of making some supporters unhappy and hence is paralyzed by life and death choices where the passage of time makes your choice for you. He is a very dangerous man for this reason alone.

Obama thinks he’s still in the ivory tower of academia where models can generate a theoretical ideal solution. In the meantime, his decision is to do nothing, which of course let’s Iran have its way. I don’t think he has a problem with that.
