Mr. Hitchens is absolutely right and absolutely asking all the right questions! And Obama has an answer for him. Obama will do nothing! If that wasn't obvious when Neda was bleeding to death while Obama was saying he didn't want to meddle I don't know what obvious is. We've seen this show before Mr. Hitchens. It was called the Jimmy Carter administration. Now we have the Neville Jimmy Obama administration. Right now we have Obama dithering for months about sending troops to the Central Front on the War on Terror, in the Necessary War, that his hand picked General says we need. Yes our allies are dismayed at what they are seeing! Yes our adversaries are emboldened and even gloating as they race to take advantage of American weakness. Obama will do nothing!

Why didn't Bush do something about Iran while he was in office? Eight years he knew about the threat and did nothing. He watched as they set up their nuclear facilites and did nothing. He watched as they started enriching uranium and did nothing. Now, 9 months into his first term, you think Obama ought to fight the two wars that Bush started and have the military start yet another one? What, you have stock in the arms business?

jammer:

Bush did do something, he idiotically put them on the Axis of Evil when a more moderate Iran was looking to warm to the West even after 9/11.

While i think the Neville, Jimmy Obama thing is quite silly. I believe you are inflating this Iran warming business. It was a front, just because someone it smiling in your face doesn't mean they aren't holding a knife. You put too much significance on words rather than power and resources. Iran wants to oppose the US for more practical reasons, not because GBW called them names.

Wingnuts will settle for any excuse to start a war with Iran. Now we have someone wanting us to go to war with Iran because Nada ws bleedign to death.

Unfreakinbelievable.

You're absolutely right. obama is congenitally incapable of doing anything about anything, including universal health care and stem cell research, not to mention the stranglehold the big banks and insurance companies have on this country. he's strictly a wimp. he is a symbol, nothing more. he belongs in a shrine on the mall, not in the White House, pretending to be doing the business of the presidency on a day-to-day basis.

Ultimately it will be up to the country really seriously threatened by the iranian creeps - Israel - to finally put an end to the moslem fanatics' pipe dreams.

1. Iran has never threatened Israel.
2. Israel couldn't pull it off without us. They don't have the ability to do it alone.
   
3. Israel are cowards when it comes to taking on a legitimate opponents, especially without the US to wipe up after them and write the cheques to pay for their stupidity.
4. The Muslim fanatics you are referring to have said they don't want nukes, that nukes are incompatible with Islam and representative of a backward socieity. of coure, in the mind of an unhinged wingnut, that amounts to a statement that they want nukes.
5. The onyl fanatic appears to be you.
