An excellent point.
Facts have no place in any debate involving Barack Obama.
Here is what wikipedia says about that:
(The Cuban Missile crisis) “ended two weeks later on October 28, 1962, when President of the United States John F. Kennedy and United Nations Secretary-General U Thant reached an agreement with the Soviets to dismantle the missiles in Cuba in exchange for a no invasion agreement and a secret removal of the Jupiter and Thor missiles in Turkey.”
The point is negotiation was backed by US military force and the credible threat to use that force. Concessions were made on both sides, but the USSR lost the most.
We need to make sure everyone we know understands how incompetent Barry O. is, saying there are 57 states, calling Iran ‘tiny,’ and offering to negotiate without preconditions.
Isn’t treating with the enemy treason? The question of Iran isn’t really significant. I am sure we will be at war with them by Election Day.
NO BO N 08! (Mr BO is an idiot!)
Lay off what the Obamessiah says...how dare you be so racist?

Tiny? Obama is a moron. First off, it is hardly “tiny” at roughly 1/5 our population and 1/6 our landmass. It also has enormous natural resources and a key geostrategic position. It also has leaders with a strategic vision and the (not so tiny) b@lls to carry it out, even if that means spilling lots of innocent blood.
Oh, yeah, and one more thing: Obomination is probably not even aware of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). One fairly sizeable nuke exploded high above Kansas would disable much of the electronics in the CONUS, with effects just a BIT larger than “tiny.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse
Obomination is a naive, ill-informed, anti-American PUTZ. We simply CANNOT allow that man and his minions/hangers-on to attain power. I don’t like McCain at all, but ANYONE is preferable to this walking, talking disaster.
Awesome video:
The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
I'm not sure--is he a gibbering idiot, or does he just think we are all idiots? Either way, he is not presidential material.
But not nukes. Or stateless surrogate armies of suicidal terrorist infiltrators.
That 3G model of population, wealth and industrial base isn't extremely useful in assymetric warfare vs the US. Hence the term assymetric.
Iran is nothing more than hot air.
“Pretty much all the wars we ever fought in this nation have been against “tiny” countries: England, Spain, Mexico, North Korea, North Vietnam, Iraq...”
That’s an interesting way to look at it.
Of course he doesn't. Obama doesn't even know how many states there are.
Someone should give Obama a map. Iran is among major nations both per territory and population. And its economy and technology are above 3rd world.
It certainly might be a threat in a same sense Germany and Japan were.
