Obama times calling out Iran for impact White House long knew of a second nuclear site

"Iran's actions have raised grave doubts" about Iranian claims that they are only pursuing the peaceful use of nuclear energy," he said. "Iran is on notice when we meet with them Oct. 1. ... They're going to have to come clean and they're going to have to make a choice."

It is still unclear whether Iran will bow to international pressure. Some nuclear experts noted that the discovery of a clandestine site suggests that Iran could have many more.

"The Iranians are teaching us the limits of what we are overselling," said Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center.

Each time they are caught, the Iranians belatedly inform the IAEA and claim they are not breaking the rules, he said, and the IAEA then agrees to monitor the new facility.

"What you're doing is increasing the noise-to-signal ratio and making it much tougher to find the next covert facility," he said.

Mr. Sokolski agreed, however, that the timing of the disclosure was "fortuitous." And he gave credit to the Obama administration "for keeping its powder keg dry."

White House officials acknowledged that the Iranians will determine when IAEA inspectors will be allowed into the site. IAEA spokesperson Marc Vidricaire said that the organization in Vienna "has requested Iran to provide specific information and access to the facility as soon as possible."

Mr. Obama said that the intelligence on the once secret site, tunneled into mountains 18 miles north of Qom, which is about 160 miles southwest of Tehran, was the product of U.S., British and French intelligence, had been "thoroughly scrubbed" and was "solid."

This picture is frightening. Compare the men in the background with Obama. His experience, knowledge, training, education, and worldly life experiences significantly pale in comparison to these national heroes. And, they must follow his orders!!! Big mistake, America.

And then what....continuing to make threats is a waste of time.

As I've told my kids many times — on the playground, and in life — some people simply do not understand nice words and kind gestures. Sadly, a serious ass-kicking is the only language some people in this world can comprehend.

The problem is that EVEN THOUGH you may have the BIGGEST STICK on the playground, IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO USE IT, you might as well give the bully your lunch money and do his homework UP FRONT before he starts beating the crap out of you.

Obama has the most-powerful and best-trained military that has ever existed. But it's wasted on a Community Organizer who thinks the same charm that suckered 63 million gullible people last November will NOT be exploited by foreign powers who recognize Obama's desire to be "LIKED".

That is Obama's greatest Achilles' heel — not his woeful inexperience, rather — his desire to be ADORED by the masses. It clouds whatever Judgment that Obama might exercise with the Intelligence the Joint Chiefs and other military advisers may provide him.

“Iran’s actions have raised grave doubts...”

That is one of the funniest things I have read this month.

The 0bama people seem to want the missile defense systems stationed in the Mediterranean Sea. This will be very effective for protecting Brazil from missiles launched from Iran.
