Michael Ledeen: Obama Must 'Bring Down Iranian Regime'
Newsmax ^ | Monday, June 29, 2009 | Jim Meyers

Foreign policy expert and author Michael Ledeen tells Newsmax that President Barack Obama "hasn't done anything" to help the Iranian people as resistance to the country's repressive regime continues.

Ledeen also says that the talks Obama seeks with the current regime will go nowhere, charges that Iranians "have been killing Americans all over the world," and warns that, as soon as the Islamic Republic acquires a nuclear weapon, it will "test" it on Israel. But he also believes the regime is unlikely to survive. Israel certainly will attack Iran if the West fails to stop the ayatollahs from completing a nuclear weapon, Ledeen said.

"They've said as soon as they get a nuclear weapon, they're going to test it on Israel, so that's a pretty big threat," Ledeen said, adding, "I expect the Israelis to eventually attack the Iranian nuclear facilities if the rest of the world doesn't find some other way to do it. Whether they will bomb it or not, I can't tell. There are a lot of ways to do it."

He won't. He has no problem with who is heading it - by fraud. Now Honduras is another issue - maybe Obama fears a coup HERE? One thing is for sure Obama doesn't do anything unless it is SELF SERVING.

Not to the vast majority of American Jews.

While I love Rush's poke of the fork in the pig's ribs, the numbers may very well take care of the issue. Hopefully, by 2012. Forget about 2016.

Here's today's posting from Rasmussen Reports, as you can see with ease.

I love the picture that says more than a thousand words.
