Time for the Obama Administration to Get to Work on a Clear and Present Danger (Ollie North)
Fox News ^ | Jan. 26, 2009 | Oliver North

Item No. 1 ought to be preventing the world's No. 1 exporter of radical Islamic terror from obtaining nuclear weapons: Iran.

Unfortunately, the new administration is not off to an auspicious start.

On Wednesday - less than 24 hours after his inauguration - the Obama White House Web site announced, inter alia, that they will engage in "tough and direct" diplomacy with Iran "without preconditions"...

... This "new approach" includes little more than what our European allies have been trying for more than five years.

Before issuing such a "bold initiative" and "outreach" toward the theocrats ruling in Tehran, Obama's advisers should have shown their boss the report provided late last month to French President Nicolas Sarkozy from a non-partisan parliamentary commission on Iran's nuclear program. The report details Tehran's success in circumventing U.N. sanctions and concludes that Iranian scientists already have the "know how" to build a nuclear weapon and that unless action is taken to prevent it, they will possess all necessary technology, equipment and fissile material to deploy nuclear weapons no later than the end of next year and "perhaps sooner."

Maybe Iran will name their first nuclear weapon the Obama Bomb in his honor.

Obama is showing an alarming pattern of issuing politically correct directives first and considering the impact and details second.

The phrase "peace for our time" was spoken on 30 September 1938 by British prime minister Neville Chamberlain in his speech concerning the Munich Agreement.[1] Often misquoted as "peace in our time", it is primarily remembered for its ironic value. The Munich Agreement gave the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler in an attempt to satisfy his desire for Lebensraum or "living space" for Germany. The German occupation of the Sudetenland began on the next day, 1 October.

One year after the agreement, following continued aggression from Germany and its invasion of Poland, Europe was plunged into World War II.

From wikipedia.

Playing nice to Islamic radicals is as STOOPID as it gets.
