Explosive Recipe
IBD ^ | February 5, 2008

Nuclear Terrorism: What happens when an Islamofascist state gets the bomb and the White House falls into the hands of a president who thinks such enemies can be defeated with diplomacy? We shudder to think.


The director of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency on Monday reported that Iran will develop a nuclear weapon within three years. So without military action from the U.S. or Israel against Tehran's nuclear facilities, whoever is elected president later this year will be left with solving the global problem of an atomic terrorist state in the Middle East.

If that person is either of the two front-runners for the Democratic nomination, it could spell unprecedented danger. Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama seem committed to the magic powers of negotiating a deal with Iran's fanatical mullahs — and surrounding them are "experts" who agree.

Both candidates favor direct negotiations at once. Sen. Obama's foreign policy adviser, Susan Rice of the Brookings Institution, an assistant secretary of state under President Bill Clinton, gave a possible preview in a 2004 article in the Washington Post.

"At the bargaining table," she wrote, "the United States could dangle various incentives the Iranians might find attractive. For instance, in exchange for a full and verifiable halt to Iran's nuclear program as well as termination of its support for terrorism and anti-U.S. elements in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States could offer to lift U.S. sanctions, normalize relations, pay some Iranian claims against the United States, promote new trade and investment flows, allow Iranian membership in the World Trade Organization, guarantee access to civilian nuclear power or provide regional security guarantees."

It's simple.

The US loses Manhattan and Hollywood and President Thompson is elected in a 50-0 landslide, with only DC going for Ron Paul.

Cheers!

Sounds like a win for us, overall. Not all of Manhattan is bad, but if we can rid ourselves of today's Hollywood once and for all, that's a Good Thing.

And while those "incentives" are being implemented,

B(..)(:)M

The Dems are so enthralled with the sound of their own voices they will never listen to what the sane people already know. Iran will smile and nod approvingly, which is their right - to lie when it is advantageous to do so, and ASAP, push the red button. The only promise they will ever keep is the one they don't say but it's the one they have in mind for the infidels.

As much as I despise Hillary Clinton, I think her feints towards pacifism are just ruses for the moonbats.

She knows that if somebody gets a nuke into the US, the odds are pretty good they'll blow it in DC and her fat ass is on the line.

She'll gladly send soldiers off to die. Body counts mean nothing to her, as long as her bloated corpse isn't on the pile.

If Hilary became President Amanutjob would invariably insult her and she would pull the nuclear equivalent of throwing all of the lamps in the Lincoln bedroom at him.

English translation: "In exchange for another face saving, unverifiable nuclear freeze agreement like the one Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Maddie Albright worked out with Kim Jong Il, Hillary will offer the Iranians things they could already have had if they had any intention or desire to scrap their nuclear program in a semi-verifiable manner".

It’s news like this that will make me work for/vote for McCain, should he be our nominee. (dons protective gear).

Sorry folks, “teaching the Republicans a lesson” or “letting America see how bad a liberal is so they’ll elect a perfect conservative next time” does not hold water for me.

We can NOT have Hilary or Obama in the White House. Say what you like about McCain, he will not capitulate to the jihadis. I know, he opposes waterboarding and wants to close Gitmo. So? He will prosecute the war.
