BRING ME - THE COMFY CHAIR!

The folks over at The Corner grab a relevant quote from Speaker Pelosi:

"An Iran with nuclear weapons is simply unacceptable. It is a threat to the region, to the United States, and to our allies across the globe. Iran must take the necessary steps to demonstrate its willingness to live as a peaceful partner in the international community. And we must use the tools at our disposal — from diplomacy to sanctions — to stop Iran's march toward nuclear capability."

Can you imagine what Iran's saying now?

"OMG! Sanctions! Anything but SANCTIONS!"

Um, earth to Nancy? Sanctions haven't stopped anything since the Tehran Hostage Crisis. Why would they work now? Our emasculation is complete.

SECOND NUKE PLANT FOR IRAN?

Obama knew this!

And what has he done about it?
What now? Are we still going to threaten to shoot down Israeli planes?
I'm seething.

PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE DIPLOMACY

Obama gives his UN speech.

Saying the United States will work with Russia to reduce its strategic warheads through an update of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, Obama pledged to move to ratify the Test Ban Treaty, work with others so that "nuclear testing is permanently prohibited." begin negotiations in January on a treaty to end fissile material production and host a summit in April that reaffirms each nation's responsibility to secure nuclear material on its territory.

"Those nations that refuse to live up to their obligations must face consequences. This is not about singling out individual nations -- it is about standing up for the rights of all nations that do live up to their responsibilities," he said, then adding "the governments of North Korea and Iran threaten to take us down this dangerous slope."

"I am committed to diplomacy that opens a path to greater prosperity and a more secure peace for both nations if they live up to their obligations. ... But if the governments of Iran and North Korea choose to ignore international standards ... then they must be held accountable."

OK let me see if I have this. WE start disarming, and if people decide to disarm, then we threaten them with.... what? Singling them out? Pointing the finger?
