Israel Military Intelligence Says Iran Has Enough Enriched Uranium to Build One Nuclear Bomb
Friday, 5 November 2010
U.S. President Barack Obama has given Islamist Iran nearly two additional years to develop nuclear weapons.
Under cover of a policy of engagement (code for appeasement), Obama tried to enter into a Grand Bargain with Iran for the pacification of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The envisioned arrangement, which recalled the Great Game between imperial rivals Russia and Britain, would have guaranteed the security of Tehran's turbaned tyranny for decades to come; in return for face-saving progress on the nuclear issue, the U.S. would have agreed to no longer even dare to think about regime change in Iran.
Although the deal with the devil appears to have died in the aftermath of Iran's phony Islamist election and bloody crackdown on protest and dissent--which Obama tacitly assisted by abandoning the democracy-seekers in their hour of need--he has persisted in "giving Iran time" to achieve its atomic aims.
Engagement is sacrosanct in Obamaworld; dialogue and diplomacy are ends unto themselves.
