Iran has completely rejected a UN-brokered nuclear deal, but US President Barack Obama has postponed the official announcement on Teheran's refusal due to internal political reasons, Israel Radio quoted a senior western official as saying Saturday.

The deal would see most of the Islamic Republic's uranium shipped to Russia and France for further processing.

The official reportedly told journalists in Paris that Iran has also refused to resume nuclear talks with the six world powers.

Zero is playing with fire but has no clue about that. Nothing except politics means anything to him, and to him politics is nothing more than carrying out his Marxist agenda. There’s no notion about governing and representing all Americans. After all, he WON, right? So that’s carte blanche to do as his power-hungry, commie handlers bid him to. Screw our economy, geopolitical position and allies.

A strike by president present will enrage the libs which is his core. I seriously doubt he has the cojones to start something that will take quite awhile to accomplish.

[wiggen]

Israel has no choice but to strike. Furthermore,if Iran flat out says no then they are probably closer to having nukes than anybody knows.

You give Obama far more credit for intelligence than he has. He has nowhere near the brains of a Hitler or Stalin. he is a doctrinaire Marxist who got elected to lead a country he hates. He wants to be president of another country, the one he creates. However, your scenario is somewhat plausible as his version of the “Reichstag fire” to consolidate power for the left. I pray you are wrong because otherwise we will really be screwed...

dithering...

[dr_who]

Ooh. Major big suprise there.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

And 0 looks like an idiot, a fool, and a coward.

He IS an idiot, a fool and a coward.

hmmmmmmm......

[Soothesayer]

Ya so what exactly is your point or do you not have one?

[mockingbyrd]

Interesting theory. It’s quite plausible....

[Enchante]

"any indication he’s going to war with Iran would cause half of his voting base to slash their wrists in anguish"

that suggests that we need an ingenious plan which convinces the left that Obambi is on the verge of going to war with Iran while making it impossible for the Democrats to renounce the rumors convincingly without appearing way too "soft".....

[Enchante]

Iran’s message to Obama:

you have not yet visited to fellate our Ayatollah Khameini

Obama to Iran:

Air Force One can have me there by tomorrow night!
Please ask the Ayatollah to dream about his favorite positions.

wrong. bookmarked.

I think he heard that Israel is going to do what it has to in spite of Obama. The mosque seizures etc, were merely to protect himself for what could happen if Israel does what it may intend to do.

Bingo. IMHO...

[NewLand]

I don't think he sees himself (or thinks others see him) as weak. His narcissism won't allow that, nor will his handlers...I can't see any nation aligning with this impudent figurehead and he won't enter into a skirmish unless he has backup.

More good analysis...IMHO.

Secondly, Obama has something to prove. He knows he is viewed as weak. He’ll do what most insecure democrat presidents do, start a big war.
*****

Citation please? To which “big war” do you refer?

Unless you think JFK was insecure.(Which he didn’t appear to be)

Or if you think FDR started World War II (which he didn’t)

Remember when Benni came into town on a surprise visit???

I believe a subtle message was delievered then, and this rejection by Iran is just the icing on the cake...

It is getting close to coming full circle...Somethings got to give...And amazingly it may be a surprise to all of us what happens next...

A massive “fail” from all sides of this deal...

Please expand on your thoughts.

My point is that there is war going on between foreign policy doctrines, the NeoCons versus the Realists.

Bush followed the NeoCons into Iraq and when that blew up, Bush convened the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan group of Realists, to get him untangled. Gates, a Realist, went from ISG to Sec of Defense.

Obama campaigned on the Realist Doctrine and McCain campaigned on the NeoCon Doctrine. Obama retained Realist Gates, but Realist Gates really works for Realist Brent Scowcroft.

NeoCon Cheney accuses Obama of dithering. Realist Colin Powell tells Obama to test all of McCrystal's options for conformance to the Powell Doctrine.
