"We made an effort to agree not to strengthen sanctions straightaway in order to bring everyone on board. The more reserved amongst us agreed that Pittsburgh (in September) was the time for decisions," said Sarkozy.

Just keep kicking it down the road.....see what happens.

No one doubts that an attack on Iran would present enormous problems. But Israel is an ally and a democracy and, as Netanyahu said, if Israel is the “little Satan,” America is the “great Satan.” But what’s the alternative? A nuclear arsenal in the hands of a bunch of dark age, apocalyptic mullahs who believe Allah would support such a “holy war” and jihad against the infidel? Once acquired, a nuclear arsenal would give Iran hegemony over the whole region and enable them to export their technology to rogue states and terrorists around the world. It strikes me that almost anything would be better than that. And, with all due respect for Sarkozy and the EU, they LOVE that faithful trading partner, Iran!

The President of France is basing his opinion on history and the fact that France was able to successfully negotiate with Hitler thereby preventing a second world war. What? The negotiations were not successful? Attached below is my 9/30/07 comment on the article which quoted Iran as stating they would not negotiate. —

“Let’s see now, all the leaders of the West are saying that it would be an absolute catastrophe for Iran to have nuclear capability. Iran says the issue is closed. The West via the pathetic UN tried sanctions against Iraq that never worked. Hummmmmmmm. This is a tough one. BOMB NOW! “I’m licking my chops in anticipation of being able to watch Shock & Awe - the Sequel. I think it will be better than Shock & Awe I.”

Of course we will now never see S&A II because we now have a eunuch as commander in chief. The jug eared clodhopper probably won’t even back Israel when it finally does the right thing and bombs the nuclear facility of Adolph Hitler, Jr., and all the other rabid muslim fanatics in Iran.

“Sarkozy: Israel Strike On Iran Would Be Catastrophe”

The ‘Bama is giving Israel no alternative, making such a unilateral strike necessary.

Sarkozy: Israel Strike On Iran Would Be Catastrophe

Yes it would be - for the Iranians!

I don't know why the Europeans are so blase about living under an Iranian nuclear umbrella. What will Sarkozy do when the mullahs threaten to nuke Paris over some perceived slight to islam?

An Iran with rocket technology will be very bad also. The mullas don’t like the devil’s television being beamed down from geostationary orbit. To obliterate all satellites in this orbit all you have to do is send up a bunch of small metal chunks into geostationary orbit going THE WRONG WAY. No more geostationary satellites for several hundred thousands years after that. That’s how long it takes for this kind of orbit to end.

re: “absolute catastrophe,”

Well then, get off your appeasing ass and do something to make it unnecessary. If, and when, it happens you and the other appeasers throughout your part of the world will bear a large part of the responsibility. Just like you bore a large part of the blame when Saddam would not agree to inspections and the US had to go into Iraq. Come to find out France’s sorry butt was complicit in helping circumvent the sanctions that were designed to make an invasion not necessary.
