That unsourced radio broadcast was probably political proaganda, and vehemently denied in today’s JPost.

Since there is probably no way short of war to stop Iran’s nuclear program I’m not at all surprised at this honesty, if that is what it is. I doubt a McCain Administration would use war to stop Iran’s nuclear program either, although it might continue aggressive diplomacy. But Obama has promised to defund missile defense, shrink military techonological development, and spend enormous amounts of money (part of it presumably taken from the DoD) on ambitious social engineering programs that make LBJ look like Robert Taft. For Obama and his advisors, defending the USA or its allies is just a distraction from the really important stuff, dontcherknow.

I suspect that only a preemptive nuclear attack on Iran would be able to destroy its nuke program. Nobody has the backbone for that, not McCain, not whoever replaces Olmert, certainly not Obama, who cannot even comprehend when his country is at war. I have been ocnvinced for years now that Iran will get nukes, nobody will do anything to stop it, and Iran will eventually use them, on Israel and on the USA. Whether Iran succeeds in it attack or not, Iran will then be turned into a radioactive parking lot. I can only pray that the anti-missile systems work, and that the intelligence agencies are able to identify and thwart any nuke terrorist attacks Iran may attempt.

If the Iranians do not want to be fried in the exchange they must overthrow the Mullahs before the latter get nukes. They put those evil scum into power. Their consent, tacit or active, keeps them in power. It is their responsibility to remove them. If they don’t the Iranians will face grim consequences.

This seems quite consistent with Biden’s past actions: specifically, his crazy proposal, immediately following 9/11, to send Iran a check for $200,000,000 with no strings attached.

Realistically, it’s hard to imagine exactly how we (or the IDF) could stop the Iranians, short of launching our own nukes. But Barry’s let’s-talk routine certainly is less likely to find one than Mac.

All that’s necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

We should think long and hard before we throw God’s chosen people under a bus.

I see we’ve been down this path before…nothing new under the sun, apparently.

Another Democrat slogan:

Millions for talk, but not one red cent for action.
