Obama gets tough on Iran

Obama gets tough on Iran

PostBy: smokeyCityTeacher On: Sat Feb 06, 2010 4:01 am

I can see it now - Obama threatening Iran with some drop dead shock and awe threat like:

"If you nuke Israel - I swear Ill draft a UN resolution condemning this action and even give you a time out (After we give you a lawyer of course)

Iran knows that Obama is a political narcissist who is impotent without unanimous affirmation from other nations.
Without the whole world holding hands together behind him singing "we are the world" he cannot act decisively to do anything.

All he cares about is world opinion and protecting the reputation of Islam.
We need a guy like Reagan or Churchill. Not another Neville Chamberlain
Coal is producing 50% of our energy without dependence on foreign oil and creating millions of jobs....
Let's tell our government that we don't want this industry bankrupted!
...Instead, how about we spend a few billion researching technology to burn it even cleaner!

Yeah, that makes sense. In a Pew survey, only 2 (Israel and Kenya) out of 47 countries support the war in Afghanistan. The remaining countries want the US and NATO out of Afghanistan as soon as possible. So I can see how you would say that "Obama is a political narcissist who is impotent without unanimous affirmation from other nations." Clearly his decision to send an additional 30,000 US troops to Afghanistan was shaped by overwhelming international support. I actually just read a report about the air space over Afghanistan being saturated to the point of creating unsafe fly zones b/c so many countries have backed the US in their war in Afghanistan.

Hopefully you can sense my sarcasm. And I *really* hope you can come up with a better argument based on real facts, to why we should get tough on Iran, because I do believe there are plenty of good reasons. I just don't think you have provided any solutions in your post, only bashing of the current administration.

I find that to be extremely hard to believe, can you provide a link to that report?

That's exactly my point. I was being flippant.

Smoke city is Birmingham, Alabama.

Obama threatening Iran is kind of like Boy George threatening to kick your ass.

Actually, Boy George goes way beyond threatining to kick ass.
