Obama is no dope. Actions and words must be twinned, and he showed that the next day, since, of course, it was Obama who blew the whistle on the facility near Qum, a carefully timed exposure of intelligence that the United States had long possessed. When Obama flipped on the klieg lights to expose damning evidence that Iran’s nuclear project is not what Tehran claims, he proved the point that he had just made before the world at the U.N.: Proliferation is a real and present danger. In other words, he orchestrated the challenge to Iran, right up to this week’s confrontation. Obama is playing chess, not checkers.
Just how much do you have to swoon over the president's dreamy eyes to describe our Iran foreign policy in this light? Chess? Get real. The Iranians are giddy with the thought that President Obama might succeed in getting the existing nuclear powers to disarm. Then only the nations willing and able to cheat--Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran--will have power and influence beyond anything they can even imagine today. Our only hope will be that France cheats, too.
My God, the president is too busy playing Sorry! all over the world to even consider chess. And of course, it's all Candyland at home with his plans to expand the government here.
Besides, Ahmadinejad isn't interested in any games Carroll would like them to play. The Iranian mullahs just want to play Kill the Infidels and Nuke the Jews.
