The Case For Striking Iran Grows
The Wall Street Journal ^ | February 11, 2010 | John Bolton

Posted on 02/11/2010 5:19:14 PM PST by myknowledge

Iran's Islamic Revolution had a busy week preceding its 31st birthday yesterday. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced on Sunday that Iran would enrich uranium to 19.75% purity for Tehran's research reactor. Yesterday he claimed to have done just that, making Iran "a nuclear state."

Earlier, Tehran boasted of making advances in radar-evading drone aircraft. Its ambassador to Moscow said that Russia promised imminent delivery of S-300 air-defense systems that could preclude Israel from attacking Iran's nuclear program. And to intimidate protesters, the regime disrupted communications networks, made widespread arrests, and executed dissidents. Antiregime demonstrations yesterday were met with force.

Unfortunately, President Obama is not affording these provocations the seriousness they deserve. On Feb. 9, he struck pre-emptively in the White House pressroom by saying that the Iran nuclear issue was well in hand despite what National Security Adviser James Jones earlier this week called Iran's "puzzling defiance." Advocating a "regime of sanctions" against Iran, Mr. Obama stressed that his purpose was to "indicate to them how isolated they are from the international community as a whole."

Iran has been celebrating its 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, and to add to that, Iran is just about to enrich uranium to 20% and mate a warhead to a missile.

If the Israeli Air Force had a squadron or two of F-22 Raptors, it would be a whole lot easier...

Time is running out...

...fast...

I have a theory as to why Zero is doing nothing about Iran. It amounts to treason. He was receiving money from Hamas illegally in order to get elected. Hamas is an Iranian front group. After the election hundreds of millions of US dollars was sent to Hamas . Zero was paying back the bribe. He can't act against Iran because they paid for his election. With Iran working on nuclear weapons this act of Treason may result in millions of American dead someday. This is an act of evil right up there with the Rosenburgs.

Well using the scam of Global warming and bank bail-outs , among other stratagems he is looting America for many greedy hands overseas, friendly or not. He is not just a bad President , he’s an evil one.
