Americans dont generally eat mushy peas, a staple of British fish and chip shops. But US foreign policy under Barack Obama certainly resembles it. The presidents speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday was as soggy as it gets, with Mr. Obama extending the hand of friendship to Irans new president Hassan Rouhani. In his UN address, President Obama was eager to recycle the propaganda flowing out of Tehran in recent weeks, with the White House making a rapprochement with Iran the centerpiece of its Middle East strategy. In Obamas words:
The Supreme Leader has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons, and President Rouhani has just recently reiterated that the Islamic Republic will never develop a nuclear weapon I want to be clear we are encouraged that President Rouhani received from the Iranian people a mandate to pursue a more moderate course. And given President Rouhanis stated commitment to reach an agreement, I am directing John Kerry to pursue this effort with the Iranian government in close cooperation with the European Union the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China.
Obama couched his comments with the usual caveats, pointing out that to succeed, conciliatory words will have to be matched by actions that are transparent and verifiable. But the overarching message he is sending is clear: the Obama administration is prepared to go to the negotiating table with a brutal regime that is the worlds biggest state sponsor of terrorism, and has been aggressively pursuing a nuclear weapons capability.
Not only is this approach staggeringly naïve. It also send a dangerous signal that the worlds superpower is losing the will to stand up to rogue states, and opens up the possibility of the United States loosening sanctions on Iran…

Paging Forrest Gump.
Sounds like Rouhani and Obama will be best buds in their plots against Israel.

Who is the puppet master pulling the mac, the mouse, daddies strings?
What an embarrassment this turkey in the WH is.
I endured a couple minutes of Barry’s vomit before I had to switch over to the local Ken and Barbies talking about the new and more expensive Burger King low calorie french fries. It’s a crazy world out there. We are now a Turd World Country. Thanks Barry!
I am NOT Forrest Gump, he was much too smart for me
They may not fear Obama...but they fear the heart of America.
Our enemies will wish they had never declared war on this Judeo/Christian...let's cut to the chase...this Christian civilization.
Islam is a cult. It will die a bloody death.
But Satan (Allah) will still live to fight another day.
We are at the end or very near the end...gather your arms about you...and prepare for your family.
Get ready to defend your way of life. Get armed. And train yourself and your family.
I keep thinking, why now?
My guess is, this is to embarrass Israel into NOT attacking Iran’s facilities. They must be really close.
Employing my “Watch what they do, never listen to what they say” rule, Obama has been empowering Islamists since he became president. Each country that stood up in the ME to stop radical Islam, Obama took them down. This is probably just more of the same. Obama is more of an enemy to this country than people will ever imagine.
Carter gave the Islamists Iran. But Obama is going to give them the ME.
Here we are.
Unless we also possess overwhelming conventional capability, our enemies will "Trayvon" us thinking we lack the will to take action. Between the cost of entitlements, high tech medical care for our soldiers, and high tech weapons (with a ridiculous MIL-Spec manufacturing system), we don't have the money to fund it. This is but one of the costs of standing armies.
Thanks markomalley.
I’m behind every blade of grass...
If comrade obama really wanted to make an impression he’d announce something like an agreement by Iran to subsidize the American food assistance programs in exchange for Iran’s right to exist. Instead, he’ll probably announce an agreement to provide Iran with billions of dollars in refined fuel, food supplies, and nuclear technical assistance in exchange for Iran’s promise not to bomb Kenya.
