You know its bad when the French are tougher then the United States....what a change:
Sarkozy: “We live in the real world, not the virtual world. And the real world expects us to take decisions.”“President Obama dreams of a world without weapons … but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite.
“Iran since 2005 has flouted five security council resolutions. North Korea has been defying council resolutions since 1993.
“I support the extended hand of the Americans, but what good has proposals for dialogue brought the international community? More uranium enrichment and declarations by the leaders of Iran to wipe a UN member state off the map,” he continued, referring to Israel.
The sharp-tongued French leader even implied that Mr Obama’s resolution 1887 had used up valuable diplomatic energy.
“If we have courage to impose sanctions together it will lend viability to our commitment to reduce our own weapons and to making a world without nuke weapons,” he said.
Mr Sarkozy has previously called the US president’s disarmament crusade “naive.”
Ouch.
This on top of The Telegraph calling him President Pantywaist last week in response to his roll back of the missile shield:
Despite propaganda to the contrary, 58 per cent of Poles were in favour of the missile shield. But small nations must assess the political will of larger powers. Thanks to President Pantywaist’s supine policies, the former satellite states can see that they are fast returning to their former status. The American umbrella cannot be relied upon on a rainy day. They have been here before. Poles remember how a leftist US president sold them out to Russia at Tehran and Yalta. The former Czechoslovakia was betrayed twice: in 1938 and 1945.If the word is out that America is in retreat, it will soon find it has no friends. The satellites will pragmatically accept their restored subordination, without openly acknowledging it, and co-operate with their dangerous neighbour, ushering in a new generation of Finlandisation.
At least some in the world are starting to dig their heads outta the ground on this President.

Hi Starman...
Glad you posted this...
This is the best thing I have heard in months...The FRENCH ROCK...on this one!
No Truer words have ever been spoken between two Presidents.
God...what a great line to say to OBAMA.
Sad, Obama is living in his very own “virtual word”....
HURTS US ALL!
Left ~ Middle ~ Right ~ those that follow into any other group or label you can think of.
Peace!
Dan
Reagan won the cold war freeing millions of people without firing a shot....Obama surrenders their freedom back for no reason.
Oh-oh. Our left-wing media is now going to target Sarkozy. Prepare to be called every name in the book, Sarkozy, starting with “racist”.
"Total nuclear disarmament", Obama, Russia and the commie left

Wow a French leader with cojones. Nice.. pity we don’t have the same leadership.
“At least some in the world are starting to dig their heads outta the ground on this President. “
Amazing the French said this! I loved how the President of Israel slammed the UN. We need more of this to show the world terrorism will not be allowed to flourish. Our “acting” President has no experience and is as effective as wet gunpowder. His numbers are falling and America is mad as hell.
Obama, the President of the most powerful country in the world....has failed as s world leader. It's down hill from hereon in....
Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs
February 29, 2008 :: News
MissileThreat.com
A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.
The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:
Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.
First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems.
And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert [they are NOT on "hair-trigger alert" now -etl], and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.
You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

2008 Pentagon Report (March 2008):
China's Growing Military Space Power
By Leonard David
Special Correspondent, SPACE.com
March 6, 2008
GOLDEN, Colorado — A just-released Pentagon report spotlights a growing U.S. military concern that China is developing a multi- dimensional program to limit or prevent the use of space-based assets by its potential adversaries during times of crisis or conflict.
Furthermore, last year's successful test by China of a direct-ascent, anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon to destroy its own defunct weather satellite, the report adds, underscores that country's expansion from the land, air, and sea dimensions of the traditional battlefield into the space and cyber-space domains.
Although China's commercial space program has utility for non- military research, that capability demonstrates space launch and control know-how that have direct military application. Even the Chang'e 1 — the Chinese lunar probe now circling the Moon — is flagged in the report as showcasing China's ability "to conduct complicated space maneuvers — a capability which has broad implications for military counterspace operations."

Man, what an embarrassment! Made to look like a coward by the French! The funny part is that the MSM who brayed like a herd of jackasses about “freedom fries” will now be attacking their french heroes.
Burn!
The world respects strength... sometimes you have to take unpopular moves like Bush did for the good of all... too bad Obama has such a strong desire to be loved he doesn’t see that... the job of a leader is to lead... and he is in full retreat.
“You know its bad when the French are tougher then the United States....”
Amen to that!!!
Bibi is now the leader of the Free World.
It's pretty clear what his assessment of the boy emperor is.
I believe Michelle has Obama’s cojones in hand and squeezing every move he makes.
To think Mrs. O is home gardening and making cookies is a farce. She is one of the many dishing out the commands to O before the sun rises.
JMHO
Yes! The sooner the media is MADE to acknowledge that their emperor has NO clothes, the sooner we can get this country back on course.
Thank you for the great post!
Tatt
“Made to look like a coward by the French!”
Well, it’s official, we are through the looking glass. Just some years ago we were picking at the French for being wimps and now they’re the ones taking a tougher stand. Now our president is the idealistic dolt and the French have a realist for a President.
finally something this Huguenot descendant can be proud of
Yeah Sarko!
That’s gonna leave a mark.
