Ground Zero Mosque Is Okay According To The President, But Then Again A Nuclear Armed Iran Seems To Be Fine As Well.
The Cordoba House mosque was fine with the President until it wasn't anymore, after what for the administration must have been a surprisingly swift and vocal backlash to his statements at the dinner celebrating Ramadan at the White House Friday night.
By the same token, a nuclear armed Iran also seems to be fine with President Obama, as he has done absolutely nothing to try and stop them from acquiring these weapons of mass destruction. He has made his typical verbal platitudes, but at the end of the day has procrastinated on action, finally choosing the (in)action of allowing the United Nations to do our bidding.
He had given the Iranians a December 31, 2009 deadline for giving up its uranium enrichment program, or else. That date came and went, Iran did nothing to stop and neither did Obama. Many months later the decision was made to go the "tough" sanctions route, designed to stop Iran in its tracks. Being that sanctions put on Iran had never worked in the past, why would there have been any expectation that they would work this time?
Iran Announces Plans For A Third Uranium Enrichment Site
Low and behold, and surprising to no one besides this naive President and his naive minions, Iran today announced plans for the construction of a new uranium enrichment site, expected to begin in March 2011.
Could this impotent attempt at national security by the Obama administration be due only to its inherent weakness, or possibly due to much more nefarious reasons? Hard to say, although administration reaction to the announcement by Iran was as pathetic as it was predictable.
Said administration spokesman Robert Gibbs, "Russia is providing the fuel, and taking the fuel back out. Iran doesn't need its own enrichment capabilities." That doesn't seem to be what Iran thinks. What a joke, and yet it really isn't very funny at all.
