Obama Green-Lights Iranian BOMB
By AFN
Without a doubt the most disturbing part of Obama’s Cairo speech to the Muslim world last week was his virtual green-lighting of the Iranian bomb. In this 10-page speech much has been made of every aspect, but I haven’t heard much said about this.
By far the most important topic America has to address with the Islamic world is Iran, the bomb and Israel. That is the most pressing issue facing America’s relations with the Muslim world. (And there are many pressing issues). So it’s a little surprising that more hasn’t been made about a little paragraph on page six.
In that paragraph Obama said the following:
“I understand those who protest that some countries have weapons that others do not. No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons . That is why I strongly reaffirmed America’s commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons . And any nation – including Iran – should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That commitment is at the core of the Treaty, and it must be kept for all who fully abide by it. And I am hopeful that all countries in the region can share in this goal.”
Here Obama is saying as clearly as a president can, that he will not act to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He says instead our goal should be to seek a world where NO NATIONS hold nuclear weapons. (It’s amazing the comedians aren’t having a hay day with this piece of presidential naiveté )! This is not a goal that any thinking person takes seriously - it is in fact quite laughable. And it shows an alarming detachment from reality on the part of the young president.
Obama is saying that as long as one country has the bomb, then all countries must be allowed to have it because no one country is morally superior to another. The United States is not morally superior to the biggest exporter of terror, Iran – therefore the US is in no place to tell terror-exporter Iran it can’t have the bomb.
These sentiments are surprisingly close to the sentiments expressed by Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Wright “preached” that America was an evil racist and imperialist nation. People on the Left laughed when conservatives expressed alarm at electing a man who sat in on those teachings for 20 years. They said Obama was probably not even aware of what Wright had said. (Something only people who rarely go to church could believe).
But conservatives were onto something. They knew how dangerous it would be to elect a man who believed his country was fundamentally evil. His associations with Wright, Ayers, Alinsky and all the other America haters should have set off alarm bells warning people that Obama could not bring himself to refuse to allow Iran to have the bomb, because after all, America is pretty darn evil too! Who are we to tell Iran (the largest exporter of terrorism) they can’t have a nuclear bomb? According to Obama and those he surrounds himself with, America has been every bit as evil as Iran and therefore has no moral authority to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Now, because of that moral equivocation we will all live in a more dangerous world.
It’s funny though that Obama did not equivocate during his speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) back in March 2007 when he was running for president, and desperately seeking Jewish votes. Then he said:
“The world must work to stop Iran’s uranium enrichment program and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. It is far too dangerous to have nuclear weapons in the hands of a radical theocracy . And while we should take no option, including military action, off the table, sustained and aggressive diplomacy combined with tough sanctions should be our primary means to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons.”
He got it right then, but conservatives were ridiculed for not taking him at his word. But it turns out conservatives who were clued in, by his pastor and his other associations with America haters, about his real feelings, were right. Now nearly five months into his presidency he says “no single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons.” He is now in fact, practically inviting Iran to go ahead with their bomb.
Last month he said he would give Iran until the end of the year to decide how and if they wanted to proceed with negotiations. And it has been revealed by the Israeli Defense Forces last week that that is exactly how long it is predicted before Iran will produce its first nuclear weapon.
Israeli Brigadier-General Yossi Beiditz told the Israeli Defense Committee on June 1, that, “by the end of the year, Iran may have enough fissile material for their first nuclear bomb.” He added that Iran is developing its nuclear weaponry at a faster pace than before and that negotiations are unable to halt the process.
"Iran is extremely troubling due to its speed," he said. "It has missiles which can reach Israel. The Iranian clock precedes the international diplomacy clock." He added that for the time being, "The United States is determined to pursue diplomacy" with the Islamic Republic.
Obama’s “Cairo Speech” which was so praised, marks the beginning of a more dangerous world. First for Israel, and then for everyone else.
