Unserious About Iran: Obama is acting as if he believes a nuclear Tehran is inevitable.
The Woodward Report ^ | April 5, 2009

'Our aim is not incremental sanctions, but sanctions that will bite." Thus did Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seek to reassure the crowd at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee two weeks ago about the Obama Administration's resolve on Iran. Three days later, this newspaper reported on its front page that "the U.S. has backed away from pursuing a number of tough measures against Iran" in order to win Russian and Chinese support for one more U.N. sanctions resolution.

This fits the pattern we have seen across the 14 months of the Obama Presidency. Mrs. Clinton called a nuclear-armed Iran "unacceptable" no fewer than four times in a single paragraph in her AIPAC speech. But why should the Iranians believe her? President Obama set a number of deadlines last year for a negotiated settlement of Iran's nuclear file, all of which Tehran ignored, and then Mr. Obama ignored them too.

In his latest Persian New Year message to Iran, Mr. Obama made the deadline-waiver permanent, saying "our offer of comprehensive diplomatic contacts and dialogue stands." Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had a quick rejoinder. "They say they have extended a hand to Iran," the Iranian President said Saturday, "but the Iranian government and nation declined to welcome that."

More like a forgone conclusion that he does not intend to stand in the way of.

It is inevitable with the appeaser in chief. The Republican that replaces him in 3 years is going to have learn to deal with a nuclear Iran. That is if Amina-whack-job doesn’t light up Tel Aviv with the first weapon.

His inaction assures it will be inevitable.

Why wouldn’t a Muslim (sympathizer?), brought up as a Shi’ite, be happy for Shi’ite Iran to get nuclear weapons. After Israel, which Sunni country is next as a target?

I would think at a minimum Saudi Arabia and Egypt will start to develop nukes.

A nuclear capable Iran is inevitable unless something or someone prevents Obama from carrying out his plans to destroy America.

Neville Chamberlain was wrong, but he was not pro-Hitler.
