Obama, Israel, Iran and other stuff

on Jun 15 2009 at 3:51 pm | Filed under: Barack Obama, Iran, Israel

In one paragraph, Richard Baehr says so much:

Voters can be fooled, but they can tell the difference between a friend and a bully. Obama made the decision to bully Israel over settlements, and make it the focus of his Middle East strategy. The events in Iran over the weekend show the stupidity of the American approach of trying to make nice with the mullahs. Israeli settlements have zero to do with what is going on in Iran, and the Iranians have swatted back Obama’s diplomatic feelers like a weak second serve.

Read the rest here.

    Voters can be fooled, but they can tell the difference between a friend and a bully.

    And how is this mythical voter that can be fooled, able to resist not being fooled on this one key aspect?

    When one’s perceptions are controlled by the Obamanation, how are they able to tell friend from foe?

    But it is clear to all concerned that when it comes to nuclear weapons, we have reached a decisive point. This is not simply about America’s interests. It’s about preventing a nuclear arms race in the Middle East that could lead this region and the world down a hugely dangerous path.
    I understand those who protest that some countries have weapons that others do not. No single nation should pick and choose which nation holds nuclear weapons. And that’s why I strongly reaffirmed America’s commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons. (Applause.) And any nation — including Iran — should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That commitment is at the core of the treaty, and it must be kept for all who fully abide by it. And I’m hopeful that all countries in the region can share in this goal.- Barack Obama

    Am I wrong, or is the first time that an American president has addressed, even obliquely, the existence of an Israeli nuclear arsenal?
    This may be Israel’s undoing. Israel, in the end, can go along with almost any US demand, except two: Right of return and nuclear disarmament. Either would be suicidal.
    Is it too fantastic to imagine that eventual “talks” with Iran will produce and agreement for them to forgo the bomb in exchange for Israel disarmament?
    As an aside, here’s a compilation of analysis of both Obama’s Ankara and Cairo speeches.

    >>”And any nation — including Iran — should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.”>>

    Except the US of course. No new nuclear power sources for us.

    You’d think he’d also consider that if no nation had the right to deny another nation the right to nuclear weapons, certainly no nation has the right to tell another nation they may or may not develop areas within their legal borders. (he could even play with “legal” on this one)
