On its current course, the Middle East is headed for nuclear war. The only question is whether someone will act to take history off that course. That won't be the left wing extremist/narcissist we now have in the White House, who is lost in his own dream world.
Like Adolf Hitler, the theocrats who run Iran have told us exactly what they plan to do. They plan to build nuclear weapons, and use them to "wipe Israel off the map." They have said this plan is rooted in their fundamental religious beliefs and doctrines regarding the return of their God to Earth. They have said they will not abandon this plan for anything, not trade concessions, financial aid from the West, or security guarantees. Their conduct is consistent with carrying out this plan.
Is it remotely rational to laugh off this threat as mere talk? Can Israeli leaders responsible for the security of their people do that? Is that a reasonable national defense policy for an American President responsible for the defense of the American people, who campaigned on maintaining our security commitment to Israel in return for a strong majority of Jewish votes?
Of course not. But so what? That is the policy of our own intellectual elite, the Democrat party controlled national media, and maybe ultimately of our President as well.
The Tottering Iranian Regime
Last weekend's election fiasco in Iran revealed how weak the mullah fascist dictatorship really is. The record turnout with the incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad universally recognized as highly unpopular, plus widespread rioting since then, shows the people are fed up with theocratic dictatorship, despite the Potemkin, sham vote tally. The regime's fear of the people is further confirmed by the crackdown on private Internet and cell phone communications, and on opposition rallies.

Hope you all have a very large book into which we can put the Obamaloon’s list O’stupid things.
Barack is one big blunder.
Did zer0 ever call Nutjob and congratulate him on his big “win”? Seems that Nutjob won his election the same way zer0 won his.
Really? Or. Maybe they want a less-dinner jacket wearing face on their theocracy?
This may be true, but it seems more like baseless wishful thinking.
Arma-dinnerjacket will instantly gain support throughout Iran and the Islamic Middle East by striking Israel hard. It is the card he has wanted to play anyway - he now has a new motivation. Nero fiddles.
Obama is a walking blunder.
His regime is “Malice in Blunderland”..
They plan to build nuclear weapons, and use them to “wipe Israel off the map.”
I personally do not believe Obama gives a flip about Israel. he seems to choke on the once sentence rah-rah Israel statemements he makes in speeches about the middle east. His alliance is to the Arab nations.
Barack Mugabe Chamberlain.
0bama has repeatedly professed a willingness to meet with Iranian oligarchs unconditionally for negotiations.
But to what end, exactly? What concessions does 0bama want out of Tehran?
We know 0bama has recently declared Iran has a right to a nuclear bomb. And we have also seen there is no US position on Israel 0bama is not willing to give up.
So what would 0bama be negotiating for?
Will he get Ahmadinejad to cease telegraphing his intent to destroy Israel in exchange for letting them get the bomb and then declare talks successful?
There has been a lot of discussion about the wisdom of direct talks with Iran and what that can achieve, but very little discussion on what 0bama actually wants to achieve. Perhaps it is time we start asking this basic question.
Good One!

While it's true that Moussavi wouldn't be any better than Ahmadinejad, change in Iran will only come from the street. We should have encouraged public protest, and condemned in strong terms the killing of protesters. Including in the Security Council. If our Ambassador can't do it, appoint a Useless Nations Czar.
The French are hardly known for their idealistic foreign policy and moral fortitude.These elections are an atrocity. If [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad had made such progress since the last elections, if he won two-thirds of the vote, why such violence?" The statement named the regime as the cause of the outrage in Iran and, without meddling or picking favorites, stood up for Iranian democracy.
Nicolas Sarkozy.Then again many global roles are reversing in the era of Obama.
The American President didn't have anything to say the first two days after polls closed in Iran on Friday...he said yesterday
I have deep concerns about the election...when I see violence directed at peaceful protestors, when I see peaceful dissent being suppressed, wherever that takes place, it is of concern to me and it's of concern to the American people.
Spoken like a good lawyer. Mr. Obama didn't call the vote fraudulent, though he did allow that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "understands the Iranian people have deep concerns about the election [how that plays out] is ultimately for the Iranian people to decide....Now it's not productive, given the history of the U.S.-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling--the U.S. President meddling in Iranian elections.
NO, more correctly I would say that it is 52% of the American people who ARE!!!
It is silent, because it does not know what to say!!!
