That's a bad thing?
“Likely Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama told supporters Iran is just a “tiny” country at a campaign stop in Oregon Sunday evening. “
One or 2 cities gone here or in Israel, is not a big deal to Obama.
Obama has a tiny brain.
Germany and Japan were tiny countries during WWII.
Iran may be “tiny” to Obama but I’d hate to have to paint it...
Populations: 65,875,223 (July 2008 est.)
Area: 1.648 million sq km
Yeah, tiny.
No one can guarantee that once nuclear war is started somewhere that it wouldn’t cause a chain reaction worldwide.
Obama is as dumb as a sack of door knobs; all his snappy combacks are composed by a gang of commie, America hating, cigarette and coffee breathed speech writers he drags along on his crusades. I get sick of the MSM hyping this stooges intelligence.
Iran has 636,374 square miles, the U.S. 3,537,441 square miles. Iran is more than 1/6 of the size of the U.S.
Hardly small.
So was Germany.
Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it.
I can’t believe he admitted that the Soviet Union was a threat! I would think that he would have been all in favor of a Soviet victory.
And hardly tiny.
Bosnia lit the fuse that set off WWI.
Teeny tiny.
Immolating 2MM people in Tel Aviv would be a statistically anomoly. That’s not really pain, is it?
Now, aborting 69MM people since 1979 - Now THAT’s statistically relevant.
Those mountains always take more paint than you think. On the other hand, Iran could always be "painted" with a few target acquisition radars.
We have no Mutually Assured Destruction deterent with the Islamofascist’s. They want to die.
“Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union”
The commies weren’t Islamic suicidal maniacs like Ahmajinidad.
And then he said that Kennedy got Khrushchev to get the missiles out of Cuba by negotiation. Yea and the Strategic Air Command at Def Con 2.
Silly Obambi.
Exactly. This moron can “talk” all he wants but he has no idea (like most leftists and girlie men) about military matters. He has no idea what one nuke for the Hesbos, and one nuke for Hamas, could potentially do to a small country like Israel.
He forgets that Israel has nuclear submarines ready to respond. Destroying a large part of the worlds oil supply in the process.
Iran is three times the size of France and five times the size of Germany. Yeah, it’s a tiny country and the US has 57 states.
The main threat at this time is to Israel but I guess he doesn't give a rat's a** for the Israelis. What a dumb a** and what a bunch of dumb a**es the libs are for listening to this idiot.
Iran has more people and more wealth than Germany had in 1939.
They may be tiny, but their leadership is far more insane. Therefore, I’d say they are as big a threat as the USSR ever was - probably more so.
I don't see Israel doing that unless they plan on living underground for a few thousand years.
Pretty much all the wars we ever fought in this nation have been against "tiny" countries: England, Spain, Mexico, North Korea, North Vietnam, Iraq...
Does BHO think this makes the Revolutionary War and all the other wars in which our valiant troops gave the last full measure of devotion any less important?
Three times the size of France
Four times the size of Spain
Eight times the size of the UK
....Yeah. Tiny.
Well it depends on your definition of negotiation, if telling the Soviets to remove the missiles or get blown to he** is negotiating then I guess JFK negotiated. I call it an ultimatum. The idiots that follow Obama though will believe the lies he tells them. I hope McCain or Bush call him on this one.
Germany is a tiny country too, and so is Japan. This guy is an idiot.
This guy is absolutely nuts. I guess he never heard of JAPAN with that pesky little attack on December 7, 1941.
14 Germany 82,210,000 December 31, 2007
15 Ethiopia 77,127,000 July 2007
16 Egypt 75,498,000
17 Iran 71,208,000
18 Turkey 70,586,256 December 31, 2007
19 France 64,473,140 January 1, 2008
20 Thailand 63,038,247 December 31, 2007
21 Dem. Rep. of Congo 62,636,000
22 United Kingdom 60,587,300
Any statisticians out there capable of norming this data for working age population? I.E. I bet an adult beverage tha tthe percentage of miltary age males is much higher in Iran than in the Europistan countries.
Apparently, this is reaching into the realm where “you can’t make this stuff up”.
I know the campaign trail has been a non-stop marathon since probably last December, but Ozombi is getting close to losing it altogether to radical beliefs. All the “libertion theology”, the collected Kool-Aid drinkers, the twisted logic in tying these diverse elements together, and the rock-star atmosphere, all conspire to either carry a wave that will swamp the national government, or turn away and leave a huge mud flat, with millions of dazed people in its wake.
people have forgot
he said a few months ago that even if we got attacked by nuclear weapons he would not use ours on them , he said this att he time when he said he would pull out of Iraq and go into Pakistan
Now why isn’t the media playing those clips
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Germany is a tiny country too. About the size of Oregon.
Remember what they did back in the 30s and 40s?
A country’s danger is not measured by it’s geographical size. I can’t believe how stupid this man is, or is it that he thinks most Americans are stupid? Maybe most Americans are that stupid. Al Gore won the popular vote.
We are in for a world of hurt if the man wins the presidency.
“Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us,” Obama said.
Uh, Barry, you forget that the leadership of the Soviet Union, unlike the leadership of Iran, had no death wish!
Your sophomoric grasp of foreign policy and geo-political crisis points is truly dangerous for the United States of America.
people have forgot
he said a few months ago that even if we got attacked by nuclear weapons he would not use ours on them , he said this at the time when he said he would pull out of Iraq and go into Pakistan

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
WWI and Duke Ferdinand are a great example...
He’s actually saying this stuff? Wow.
obama thinks they are tiny to us because he thinks there are more than 57 states in our union
the man is a complete moran who has no knowledge about the world and is backed up with the most clueless voters this coiuntry has ever produced
If a case was to be made about raising the voting age then this is it
Until you pay taxes and get in the real world then you cannot have a say in how this country should be directed
“Germany is a tiny country too, and so is Japan. This guy is an idiot.”
Just what I was thinking.
Germany 13,7826 sq. miles
Iran 63,6296 sq mi
Iran’s population 71 million
German population 82 million (of which 15 million are foreigners and a general aged population).
he’;s been saying this stuff for months now but the likes of MSNBC, NBC,CBS and CNN will no mention it to their viewers
did you know a woman heavily into politics and a obama voter supporter(yes I know they are thick) had never heard of Obama being friendly with a terrorist , a man who planted bombs and said recently he wished he did more
she had never heard of this and thought the people on Fox were making it up
I was surprised so I asked this woman I saw with an Obama sticker on here car about it
she looked at me and said I was making it up and Obama is not like that and she went on about how we wants change bla bla
she was clueless , as is every obama voter I have had the misfortune to have met or seen
Though it is funny when you ask these people with Obama stickers on their cars about him
they really are thick
Germany: 15.9MM
Ethiopia: 17.6MM
Egypt: 18.1MM
Iran: 16.9MM
Turkey: 16.4
France: 12.1MM
Thailand: 12.9MM
DRC: 8.5MM
UK: 11.6MM
Then again, the people buying Obama’s load of bull are typically too dull to think of such things.
First of all, the cold war was not as fluid as our current geopolitical structure is today. The Soviet Union was at least a well defined entity and MAD was an effective deterrent.
Iran is run by nut jobs who “winning” strategy does not necessarily require their own survival. MAD wont work on these loons.
The size of the country is insignificant in nuclear warfare and it is almost impossible to defend against someone who is willing to trade a life for a life.
You need to go crawl back into the hole you came from sir. You don't have a clue what the real world is like and you are just going to get us all killed.
And then he said that Kennedy got Khrushchev to get the missiles out of Cuba by negotiation. Yea and the Strategic Air Command at Def Con 2.
*****************************************************
The real story is that idiot Kennedy for all intents and purposes invited the Soviets to build the missile base in Cuba by failing to back the “Bay of Pigs” invasion force ... they didn’t just think we were weak THEY KNEW IT! ... years later we found out that the price Kennedy paid to get the Soviets to back down was the closing of our forward nuke bases in Turkey... and to think some libs actually consider that maroon who fell asleep on watch and had his patrol boat run over by a Jap cruiser ,,, too bad the watch on that jap cruiser didn’t notice that crunching sound as they ran over him...
Iran’s population of 65 million, rapidly growing toward 80 million, is just where Germany was in the mid-30s.
They have enormous oil and gas resources allowing them to buy, borrow, or steal lots of western technologies including WMDs. Sure, they do not have all the technical expertise (yet) of a Nazi Germany or the USSR. But they are acquiring lots from the west and developing what they can on their own, acquiring from Russia and China, etc.
Granted, they are a lot smaller than the USSR was, but they are not ‘tiny’ and Obama has proved yet again that he is an ignorant moron. Who does he think we’re dealing with, Bahrain?????
The Mullahs have proved they are quite willing to sponsor extensive international terrorism, subversion of governments, a growing genocidal assault on Israel, etc.
No, Obama, they are not a ‘tiny’ country or a miniscule threat. Yes, they are not in many ways the same caliber of threat as the USSR or the Axis Powers of WWII..... YET.
But whatever they lack in armaments and resources, they display an absolutely lethal willingness to slaughter infidels wherever they can.
Obama is unfit for the presidency or even for his current seat in the US Senate!
Good point.
I’m surprised Hillary hasn’t waded in on this one. This is another example of how dangerous this guy is. If you get him talking, he usually says something pretty stupid. He said a bunch on the economy showing his total lack of knowledge on Capitalism.
