Obama Gives Iran 7 More Months to Make Bomb
The New York Times reported today that after meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Obama has issued a stern warning to Iran. He is demanding that they respond to his overtures by December 31st, 2009 – almost 7 months away. I’m trying to imagine why on earth they would need so much time. Let’s see, people can travel from here to Tehran in about 10 hours. They can send an email or make a phone call instantly. It seems Tehran could give a response by dinner time tonight if they wanted to. This nearly seven-month period of time would seem to have the effect of allowing Iran seven more months to complete their nuclear bomb. Just what the Ayatollah ordered! With a stern deadline like this and a threat of "much stronger international sanctions" if Iran doesn’t respond – in time – the Iranians must be quaking in their boots.
According to the Times: Mr. Obama said that he would continue to seek agreement with Iran to end a nuclear program that the West fears could produce nuclear weapons. But, he added, “we’re not going to have talks forever.â€
So, we’re not going to have talks forever, but Iran has SEVEN MONTHS to get back to us! Geesh!
I had a dream last night that the Democrats finally figured out that there comes a time when you stop asking,and put boot to ass. I knew it was only a dream, ’cause let’s face it we’re talkin’ about Democrats
A-L – I have no idea what that means! “When you stop asking” what?
I was speaking in general terms of Democrats’ need to push diplomacy past the point of effectiveness.Asking piss ant Tyrants like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to “Pretty please stop building nuclear weapons.” in this particular case. Instead of saying “Stop now or else!” We need sanctions now(for the good they’ll do)now,not in seven months. But over all the Democrats are like the Captain of a Federation starship. Asking the Klingons,or Romulans to stop firing after the ship has aready been blown out from underneth them.
We’ve all heard about Obama’s plan for shutting the base down in Cuba. Obama’s mouth puts mouth in gear before a well thought out plan can be put together. 7 months for Iran to stop with their WMD program makes sense to a Lib.
