Thanks for Nothing, Mr. President
The CIA announced directly or indirectly last week that it can be assumed that the country of Iran now has the capability to put nuclear warheads on missile weaponry, if not today, in the very near future. All we can say emphatically to that is: Thanks for Nothing, President Obama!
In your Inaugural address on January 20, 2009, you spoke directly to the leaders of Iran and suggested that “we extend our open hand to you if you are willing to unclench your fist.” In your naïve belief that good will on your part could persuade these religions zealots and dictators to give up their pursuit of nuclear weaponry has now unfortunately been proven totally flawed and dead wrong. Shortly after you became President, you gave the Iranian regime until later in the year to ‘come clean’ – whatever that means – and to disavow and halt any enrichment of uranium and other actions on the path to nuclear weaponry.
In fact, the Iranians gave you nothing, absolutely nothing! They kept right on ‘trucking’, they tested missiles of varying capabilities (short range and long range) and installed more centrifuges needed to hasten the enrichment processes to get the material needed to put nuclear warheads on their missiles. Your deadline of October 2009 came and passed without any change on their behavior. Every time you spoke up and expressed your displeasure over their non-response to your so called deadlines to come clean, they laughed themselves silly. You even kept quiet last June when the Iranian nationwide elections turned ugly on the streets of Teheran. We assume, you did not want to take sides in their ‘internal’ struggles and upset the leadership and potentially give them a reason to deny your requests.
With all due respect, Mr. President, you flunked this one big time! Your childish attempt at diplomacy with a serious enemy turned out to be a complete and miserable failure. Your inflated belief of your own ability and grandeur in terms of persuasion was one of the worst mistakes since you became President. Having lived and worked on a major construction project in Iran in the mid-seventies of the last century (while the Shah was still in power), we here at Common Sense University firmly believe that we have a much better and firmer understanding of the way these people think, especially the ones in power. The entire diplomatic corps of the United States consists unfortunately of ignoramuses and smooth talking pompous asses who never met or understood the real conditions under which the people lived under in foreign countries. Their diplomatic counterparts play them like fiddles and our guys do not even know it. These people understand and fear only one thing clearly and that is Power on the part of their opponents! Talking nice will get you nowhere with them and the past year has proven that to be correct
All your efforts have accomplished, Mr. President, is the reality that Iran is at least 15 months closer to putting an atomic warhead on one of its missiles and launching it towards some other country, namely the State of Israel. The Iranians have openly threatened the Israeli State with annihilation for years and thanks to your failed policies, Mr. President, that time is much closer now. Your continued talk about sanctions and severe measures is laughable at this time. Your endless attempts to get the Russians and the Chinese to join you in United Nations resolutions against Iran is silly at best. Instead you have turned on our best ally in the Middle East, namely Israel, and chided them for building some apartment building in East Jerusalem. This is in our opinion stupid at best and potentially deadly and disastrous for Israel and other countries in the region.
Mr. President, when that first Iranian atomic bomb falls on Tel Aviv, you will be responsible for it! There are no two ways about it. We wish you would get off your high horse and face reality when it comes to dealing with religious zealots and fanatical dictators, change your thinking and get tough, otherwise, this disaster could happen very soon and you could not blame that on George Bush when it happens on your watch.
