I think President Obama will discover that his friendship tape cannot be played on Region Nut VCRs.
And the entire point of this article is ludicrous:
While the broader rapprochement initiated by the Obama Administration could be integral to resolving the standoff over Iran's uranium enrichment program, there's some concern in Washington and beyond over how much time Obama has to find a diplomatic solution on the nuclear issue. The urgency of the nuclear question itself is a matter of some debate.
"From all the information I've seen," CIA chief Leon Panetta said on Capitol Hill last month, "I think there is no question that they are seeking [nuclear weapons] capability." Israel and more hawkish voices in Washington concur, and stress that Iran has already crossed the key technological threshold in what they portray as a headlong drive to attain atomic weapons. But the U.S. military and intelligence community says that while Iran is assembling a technological infrastructure that would enable it to develop nuclear weapons, it has produced no weapons-grade materiel. In fact, according to the Obama's Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, Tehran has not yet taken the fateful decision to actually use its new technological capacity to develop weapons.
What is the point of debating how much time Iran has and what point they actually are on the road to nuclear weapons? Do you seriously believe the West--without the prodding of that cowboy Bush--will ever, under any circumstances, take action against Iran to forcefully stop them from getting nukes? We'd have difficulty getting a Security Council resolution condemning Iran for nuking Tel Aviv let alone get the support to strike Iran! As if Obama would to that anyway.
The point is, we'll give the Iranian mullahs all the time they need to build nuclear weapons. The issue of time became moot once President Bush left office.
My only hope is that I am right about what President Bush has left President Obama as a tool should the Iranians become an obvious nuclear power.
I worry that Iran might have considered how to survive such an attack with their nuclear arsenal at least partially intact.
My fear is that I'm right that Israel would need to use nukes to do the job if Israel thinks we can't stop Iran from going nuclear.
