When Mr Obama was handed unequivocal evidence in the autumn of 2009 that Iran was building a second nuclear enrichment facility at Qom, he preferred to take a soft approach. The inevitable new round of sanctions was implemented, but no meaningful action was taken to curtail Iran’s obsession with developing nuclear weapons.
As we know from the 1930s, appeasement achieves little when it comes to confronting a determined foe for whom the normal laws of international conduct do not apply. And next week, the full extent of Iran’s duplicity will be laid bare, with the publication of the latest International Atomic Energy Agency report on its nuclear ambitions.
Unlike previous IAEA reports, this one will demonstrate unequivocally that Iran is well on the way to acquiring nuclear weapons. It will show that the country is seeking to engineer and test components that are only used in the production of nuclear weapons, and that this illegal activity is taking place at sites that would not even exist if Iran was in compliance with its international treaty obligations.
Why, for example, are Iranian scientists experimenting with triggers that are only used for detonating nuclear weapons? Why are Iranian technicians devoting so much energy to developing a ballistic missile warhead that can carry a nuclear warhead? And why have they designed simulation programmes whose sole purpose is to test nuclear weapons systems?
The inescapable conclusion is that, for all Tehran’s protestations that its nuclear intentions are entirely peaceful, the ayatollahs are close to achieving their long-held ambition of joining the exclusive club of nuclear-armed powers. And rather than trying to ignore the apocalyptic implications, Mr Obama may find himself obliged to do something rather more robust than merely freezing the bank accounts of senior Iranian officials.

Obummer HAS been ACTING like an A-hole for the last three years.
I couldn’t believe this was printed in the Guardian.
And I was right: it appeared in the Telegraph.
When I first saw the name of your source, I couldn’t believe the Guardian was being so bellicose about confronting Iran, then I saw that what you actually meant was the Telegraph, which makes a lot more sense....
0bama's acting would probably lead to us tax payers paying for Iran to create their bomb and the guidance system to carry them here to us.
my bad, lack of sleep kicking in
“Iran Is On The Verge of Getting The Bomb: It Is Time For President Barack Obama To Act”
Well duh! It is an election year coming up, of course it’s time to act.
He will send them a stern warning letter and then establish another committee to study the issue.
Don't worry, Obama's behind you all the way though. A long, long way behind you. Back where he can take a loooooong view of this. He might loan you a Predator drone or something.
If you guys pull it off Obama will be there with his Field Marshall's uniform and his chin proudly jutting in the air, but don't screw it up, or he will evaporate like a mist from your little junta. He's a Magic Man!
UK pleading with the messiah to protect them, funny! Funnier is zero at the G 20 summit showing them how it’s done. His picture is under the word loser in the dictionary
Hussein may do something if it means re-election. Otherwise, don’t count on it. See, Hussein isn’t too fond of Israel.
On no they’re not. We’ve been told many times that they’re years away from having one. Or not.
The fact of the matter is, though, that the people in this country didn't learn from being stupid enough to elect Carter so we had to have another teaching moment from the rotten, American hating, Iz Lame Ick SOB now in office. So, we're getting exactly what we as a nation asked for. It's just a crying shame that the good people have to pay the price right along with the stupid dimwits who voted for this evil bastard.
Headline is stupid. Obama isn’t in the WH to do anything less than destroy the US. That’s it. Foreign policy? There is none.
cause God knows, Ungland wouldn't even if they could...
China is illegally selling Iran missiles... Russian General is threatening the US if they strike Iran...
I know everyone says we are already in WWIII, but this will set it off for sure.
I wish I could say I confident we and Europe would be able to take on China, Russia and the Middle East, but I’m not.
Especially when the idiotic POTUS is buying our computer chips that power our “superior” military equipment from the Chicoms.
God help us all.
Ten years ago, someone said that when Israel is nuked, the count down starts for the US. And the perpetrator is not Iran or an Islamist theocracy.
THIS is Obama’s Agenda:
Notes on Saul Alinsky and Neo-Marxism:
Alinsky’s tactics were based, not on Stalin’s revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci’s transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes.
Like Alinsky, Mikhail Gorbachev followed Gramsci, not Lenin. In fact, Gramsci aroused Stalins’s wrath by suggesting that Lenin’s revolutionary plan wouldn’t work in the West. Instead the primary assault would be on Biblical absolutes and Christian values, which must be crushed as a social force before the new face of Communism could rise and flourish. Malachi Martin gave us a progress report:
“By 1985, the influence of traditional Christian philosophy in the West was weak and negligible.... Gramsci’s master strategy was now feasible. Humanly speaking, it was no longer too tall an order to strip large majorities of men and women in the West of those last vestiges that remained to them of Christianity’s transcendent God.”

Looks like Benito’s uniform to me.
Didn’t he swing from a lamp post?
Sounds like a great thing to happen to socialist punks.
