Our World: Obama’s nuclear contrition

Then and now, Obama and his advisers argued that ballistic missiles are not part of the mullahs' nuclear project. This claim, which made little sense at the time, makes no sense whatsoever today.

On Monday, US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Hiroshima. While there meeting with this G-7 counterparts, Kerry strongly hinted that his visit was a precursor to a visit to the site of the first nuclear bombing by President Barack Obama next month.

The irony of course is that for all his professed commitment to ridding the world of nuclear weapons, Obama is responsible for drastically increasing the chance of nuclear war. Indeed, Obama's own actions lend easily to the conclusion that he wishes to do penance for America's decision to attack Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs, (and so end World War II with far fewer dead than a land invasion of Japan would have required), by enabling America's enemies to target the US and its allies with nuclear weapons.

Obama views his nuclear deal with Iran - the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action - as his greatest foreign policy achievement.

Unfortunately for his legacy building and for global security, for the past several weeks news stories have made clear that critics of Obama's nuclear deal with Iran - who claimed that far from preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, the deal would enable Iran to develop them in broad daylight, and encourage Iran to step up its support for terror and regional aggression - were entirely correct.

One day we are going to wake up to mushroom clouds over some of our major cities thanks to 0 , Kerry and all the stooges in congress that did nothing to stop this.

How many bombings does he plan to have?

You gotta’ admit - Obama did a great job negotiating the nuclear treaty for Iran.

I don’t think the Iranians could have gotten any else who could do a better job for them .

Of course, he was negotiating with himself and against America so it was fairly easy to arrive at a settlement he and Iran would be happy with.

Too bad we Americans didn’t have anyone negotiating for us.

I pray they are all sitting at "ground zero" and the last thing they see is a blinding flash.
