Obama’s serial appeasement has backfired [Krauthammer]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3382187/posts

In October, Iran test-fires a nuclear-capable ballistic missile in brazen violation of unanimous United Nations Security Council resolutions. President Barack Obama does nothing. One month later, Iran does it again. The administration makes a few gestures at the U.N. Then nothing. Then finally, on Dec. 30, the White House announces a few sanctions.

They are weak, aimed mostly at individuals and designed essentially for show. Amazingly, even that proves too much. By 10 p.m. that night, the administration caves. The White House sends out an email saying that sanctions are off and the Iranian president orders the military to expedite the missile program. [snip]

The premise of the nuclear deal was that it would constrain Iranian actions. It’s had precisely the opposite effect. [snip] [Two weeks ago] one rocket was launched 1,500 yards from the USS Harry S. Truman. Obama’s response? None.
