If only Nixon could go to China, only Obama could nuke Iran. You sort of need the Nobel Peace prize to have enough gravitas to perform such an act.
Now, having said that... I agree that only Obama COULD nuke Iran and get away with it politically. But it ain't going to happen and this analysis is simply full of crap on practically every paragraph.
BS. To nuke anyone you must have cojones, and our president has proven ... he has none. Moochell mayhap, but she is not president.
Obozo will likely resort to some kind of “Wag the Dog”.
Iran? I doubt it. He would never nuke his muzzie brothers. Especially the basis for the califit.
Zero knows only one play on the Iranian situation. It is the punt.
There will be no military action to stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons, there will be talk, talk, and weak, useless sanctions at the most.
Our president is a coward AND he, like all Democrats, has no interest in actually doing anything to forward American interests.
Obama bowing before the king of Saud would indicate to me, if he’s Muslim, he’s Sunni.
So yeah, it would be no problem for him turning Iran into a sea of glass.
Right, and Curtis LeMay was a Quaker pacifist.
For example...
From a domestic political perspective, right now Obama's strong suit is his national security performance.
Who but a whacked-off academic believes that? Or this...
That said, it would be a mistake to think this President would make such a cynical analysis. Should he act on an issue like this, he will do so without making any political calculus.
This President is all about making self-serving cynical political analyses.
Iran and their impending nuclear capability are a vital issue. It deserves better than this nattering drivel.
I agree. Obama is unbalanced, I can see him nuking Iran to hold onto the presidency. He got away with Libya. That didn’t do much for him in the polls. What effect does Libya have on us? Iran is a different story.
If we start seeing the media talking about the dangers of a nuclear Iran, I’d take that as a sign. Especially if Hillary looks like she’s going to replace him as the candidate for 2012.
Never happen. Not from the administration that turned the War on Terror into an “overseas contingency operation” and redefined terror attacks as “man-caused disasters”.
Then after that, we elect a Shiite president :-)
lol
I´d like to see the Kenyan heap nuclear destruction on Iran. It would be very educational, I´m sure.
Do you know which Osama belonged to?

Nick, where in this article does it suggest that 0bama might nuke Iran? I read the whole thing and saw nothing even hinting at that.
The headline is misleading.
Quite frankly, it has always been my contention that the only way to halt Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, let alone regional hegemony, is to drop one or more nukes on them. Iran is in the same grip of fanatical megalomania as were the Japanese prior to the end of World War II and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It took the atomic bombs to literally produce some old school ‘shock and awe’ to smack the Japanese out of their militarist ways.
Iran is in fact, even more fanatical in that their political leadership is seized by Islamic fantasies about the ‘Mahdi’ climbing out of whatever well he’s been hiding in, to return (with Jesus alongside him no less) to wipe out ‘Allah’s enemies, destroy Israel, whatever bullshit it is they have embraced, and being that the entire country is Islamic, even the adherents of that death cult of a ‘religion’ are easily swayed by the more radical practitioners of those beliefs.
10 megatons on Tehran, 5 on Tabriz (the Assahollah Khomeini’s hometown) and 5 on Qom. THAT is the nuclear trifecta that will permanently remove those Persian pricks as any significant force on the world stage.
Unfortunately, 0bama would never take such action. In my opinion, he is secretly hoping Iran WILL drop a nuke on Israel, and considering how recent revelations (due to an open microphone with that joker Sarkozy) have proven that 0bama effectively despises Bibi Netanyahu, the only thing we will see as the mushroom cloud appears over Tel Aviv is a semi-solemn 0bama before the cameras, scripted by the TOTUS as always, ‘condemning’ the Iranian action and pledging to press for further ‘sanctions’ at the U.N. (’Useless Nations’).
The “open mic” gaffe was done on purpose. Sarkosky and Obama want to distance themselves from the upcoming Israeli attack, even though they have both assisted in the preparation.
Obama is glad to have Israel take this responsibility off his hands.
The real question might be, would he nuke Iran if he thought it would get him enough support to win the 2012 election?
