Obama Agrees to Nuclear Iran, Paving the Way to Middle East Arms Race

Notwithstanding tough talk throughout his presidential campaign ("Nothing is off the table"), Obama now appears resigned to a nuclear Iran. According to an article entitled "Obama Limits When U.S. Would Use Nuclear Arms", written by David E. Sanger and Peter Baker and published in yesterday's New York Times:

"Mr. Obama said he wanted a new United Nations sanctions resolution against Iran 'that has bite,' but he would not embrace the phrase 'crippling sanctions' once used by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. And he acknowledged the limitations of United Nations action. 'We’re not naïve that any single set of sanctions automatically is going to change Iranian behavior,' he said, adding 'there’s no light switch in this process.'"

Given this latest Obama bombshell, we can be certain that Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey will also soon be seeking nuclear weapons.

[In an April 7 editorial entitled "Mr. Obama's Nuclear Policy", The New York Times takes the position: "But in a very dangerous time, (Obama) is taking important steps to make the world safer and bolster this country’s credibility as it tries to constrain the nuclear ambitions of Iran, North Korea and others." How subservient, how absurd, how obscene.]
