Can someone explain why it is, exactly, that Barack Obama is not a laughingstock?
A very good question indeed, in response to Obama's ridiculous assertions about Iran not being a threat to the US (although it should be noted that the
very next day Obama was claiming that the threat from Iran is "grave").
What with all the "hope" and "change" being bandied about at those massive campaign rallies, I doubt that there's time to consider that perhaps Iran isn't the rational actor on the world stage that the Soviet Union was, and that perhaps negotiation and deterrence and all that nice stuff might not work as well on a truly nutty theocrat like Mahmud Ahmadinejad. And there's certainly no time in between all of the bashing of Bush the Warmongering Cowboy to note that over the last five years or so, Iran has been engaging in a diplomacy fest with Europe (of the type that Obama and his Democrat cohorts are all atwitter about) that has accomplished precisely
nothing, being used instead by the Iranian regime as a diversion to buy time and advance their nuclear ambitions.
And this guy is very likely to be our next president. God help us.
