I guess that "smart power" stuff isn't really all that smart, is it Barry?

When Iran brings their weapons on line, It’ll be entertaining to watch Obie load his lady Levis.......

The anticipated result for the idiots subscribing to the “soft power” doctrine.

“Mohamed ElBaradei caps his contentious and ultimately failed 12-year stint as head of the International Atomic Energy Agency today, having spent many years enabling Iran’s nuclear bids only to condemn them in his final days in office”

Mission Accomplished for him.

Obama is a weak panty waist and they know it.

Blow the bastards up.

Power is not "soft" or "smart" or any other such diplomatic abstraction. Instead, power is defined by the intentions and ambitions of those wielding it, by reference to the values it is intended to promote.

American power has long been used in the service of liberty and self-rule. Iranian power, specifically including its nuclear variant, will likely be used in the service of something far removed from those values.

I believe our present Administration is blinded by moral neutrality, but more profoundly by its desire to transform the world in the service of Progress - such that it will ultimately accept as valid actions taken by enemies it refuses to recognize as Enemies, for purposes it refuses to see as evil.

Why not give them some more sanctions? Or maybe a timeout? Both work equally as well.
