Times of London: Iran just waiting for Khamenei’s order to build a bomb

Liberals as usual have major amnesia problems when it comes to their responsibilities and positions in Domestic and International policies.

Here is a good breakdown about how wrong they were on Iran
and how much they stood against the Bush administration in taking any kind of real action there.

Now they tell us: Iran is pursuing a bomb

Lefty blogs rejoiced. At the Daily Kos diarists mocked Bush, Cheney, McCain, Romney, and Huckabee for having taken various hawkish positions on the subject. The Booman Tribune claimed vindication, having “spent a lot of electrons over the last year writing to you about a committed and sustained misinformation campaign to suggest that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program.” Crooks and Liars wrote that “[i]f it’s possible to make Bush look any stupider—the new NIE report on certainly Iran does.” At the HuffPo, Jon Soltz declared “World War III plans stymied by National Intelligence Estimate.” And so forth. There are literally hundreds of similar posts.

So imagine my interest to see the Los Angeles Times report that the intelligence agencies have reversed themselves again (bold emphasis added):

Remember, these are supposed to be the smartest people in the room.
They opposed Bush at every turn concerning every issue.
Bush was barely able to keep Republican support for winning the war in Iraq,there is no way he could have won any support for going after Iran unless they had attacked our mainland.

Liberals even voted down an amendment to declare the Quos forces as terrorist entities.These are the same forces that trained and provided weaponry to kill American Soldiers.

Now that the liberals are in the drivers seat,there only real change in dealing with Iran is basically capitulation and hoping that the mullahs fall under the Messiah worship that liberals in this country have fallen under concerning OBama.
This type of diplomacy is only successful in coffee shops,classrooms,and on the pages of the NY Times,not in the real world:

Obama Promises Bush III on Iran
The diplomacy he favors is exactly what Condi Rice has been pursuing for years.

But on proliferation, what is striking are the similarities between Mr. Obama and President George W. Bush’s second term. Given Mr. Bush’s recent record, continuity between the two presidencies is hardly reassuring. And where Mr. Obama differs with Mr. Bush, he is only more accommodating to the intractable rogues running Pyongyang and Tehran. This is decidedly bad news.

And right on cue,liberals declare that we should work through the UN on these matters.
The same UN that is only successful in holding out international aid in exchange for raping the women and children of starving families abroad.
The same UN that is supposed to be able to monitor Iran’s nuclear program.
How is that working out:

A Dead Watchdog

Iran: The United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency is supposed to inspect nuclear facilities and warn of nonpeaceful activities. It now admits it can no longer effectively do so in Iran.

The world’s self-styled atomic watchdog — already little more than a Chihuahua — last week pretty much announced its own demise.

But have no fear!!!

Obama is going to lift up the world with the outreach of his hand and bring peace to all.

UHHHH…maybe not so much:

Iran Spurns Engagement on Nuclear Drive, Thwarting Obama Effort

“The U.S. administration is discovering now that that the attitude of Iranian leaders is harder to sway than they thought on the campaign trail,” said Ilan Berman, an Iran expert at the American Foreign Policy Council in Washington. “That’s where the frustration is coming from.”

Before that, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, plus Germany, had offered to aid Iran’s civilian nuclear program and provide economic benefits in return for a suspension of enrichment.

The results have been meager. Even before the June 12 election, the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna said Iran had stepped up enrichment and was still blocking international monitors.

Iraq had over 16 UN resolutions that it had failed to abide by.
They still had not fulfilled their surrender agreement from the Gulf War,pretty much establishing that we were still at war.
The entire world stated that Saddam possessed WMD and his supporting and networking of major terrorist entities made this a serious problem to be addressed after 9/11.
The declaration that was approved by Congress contained over 30 reasons to take down the Saddam regime.

We had no where near this much reason to take out Iran.
Congress would have never given approval to go to war with Iran when Saddam was the one starting the wars in the region,thumbing his nose at the UN (Oil for food for another instance),and not abiding by his own surrender agreement.

As it stands now,Iran is surrounded.We have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We have the ability to support Israel in taking out their nuclear facilities.
We have the ability to negotiate behind the scenes with Saudi Arabia and Egypt who don’t want to see Iran get any stronger in the region but can’t risk a public show of supporting the west in attacking another Muslim country.
We would also have support from some western nations such as Britain and maybe even the French since they understand the threat that a nuclear Iran posses.

But none of this will matter if the leader of the strongest military in the world is hell bent on appeasement and capitulation.

Looking at the liberals track record in dealing with dictators and terrorist regimes, it does not look like Obama and his ship of fools will be successful in stopping Iran from doing anything it wants to do,much less stop them from getting the bomb.
