French Atomic Pique -- Sarkozy unloads on Obama's 'virtual' disarmament reality

This article from The Wall Street Journal leaves us speechless. We want to thank them for printing the truth while most of the media stays silent. This comment from the article is the most shocking part of the Obama visit to the UN:

But the Administration told the French that it didn't want to "spoil the image of success" for Mr. Obama's debut at the U.N. and his homily calling for a world without nuclear weapons

They didn't want to "spoil the image of success?" This President is all about image and no substance. If anyone wanted proof, all they have to do is read this Wall Street Journal Article. Obama and his arrogance are harming friendships with our long time allies and playing right into the hands or Iran, Argentina, Cuba, Honduras, Russia and other oppressive regimes around the World. This is beyond disgusting because it is an OUTRAGE. We are sure that the MIA media will be covering this. (Sarcasm)

When are all Americans going to wake up to the person some of them elected for whatever reason including wanting to show they were not racist. What they thought they were getting and what we got are 180 degrees apart.

Obama is inexperienced, lazy, and his #1 priority of the Olympics over a decision on Afhanistan says all we need to know. Obama seems set on detroying the foreign relations of this Country, cannot make up his mind on Afghanistan -- so far voting present while he visits the Olympic Committee, and continues to send our Country into deep debt with his agenda for starters. One of his sponsors, George Soros, is going to get wealthier, e.g. funding offshore drilling in Brazil where Soros has a stake but tanking domestic oil production.

This is what you get when you elect someone who was brought up by Communist sympathizers whose mentor in his teen years was Communist and who has radicals for his friends. To this day members of the Beltway and other East Coast media continue to carry Obama's water. WHY?

Sarkozy unloads on Obama's 'virtual' disarmament reality.

President Obama wants a unified front against Iran, and to that end he stood together with Nicolas Sarkozy and Gordon Brown in Pittsburgh on Friday morning to reveal the news about Tehran's secret facility to build bomb-grade fuel. But now we hear that the French and British leaders were quietly seething on stage, annoyed by America's handling of the announcement.

Both countries wanted to confront Iran a day earlier at the United Nations. Mr. Obama was, after all, chairing a Security Council session devoted to nonproliferation. The latest evidence of Iran's illegal moves toward acquiring a nuclear weapon was in hand. With the world's leaders gathered in New York, the timing and venue would be a dramatic way to rally international opinion.

President Sarkozy in particular pushed hard. He had been "frustrated" for months about Mr. Obama's reluctance to confront Iran, a senior French government official told us, and saw an opportunity to change momentum. But the Administration told the French that it didn't want to "spoil the image of success" for Mr. Obama's debut at the U.N. and his homily calling for a world without nuclear weapons, according to the Paris daily Le Monde. So the Iran bombshell was pushed back a day to Pittsburgh, where the G-20 were meeting to discuss economic policy.

Le Monde's diplomatic correspondent, Natalie Nougayrède, reports that a draft of Mr. Sarkozy's speech to the Security Council Thursday included a section on Iran's latest deception. Forced to scrap that bit, the French President let his frustration show with undiplomatic gusto in his formal remarks, laying into what he called the "dream" of disarmament. The address takes on added meaning now that we know the backroom discussions.

"We are right to talk about the future," Mr. Sarkozy said, referring to the U.S. resolution on strengthening arms control treaties. "But the present comes before the future, and the present includes two major nuclear crises," i.e., Iran and North Korea. "We live in the real world, not in a virtual one." No prize for guessing into which world the Frenchman puts Mr. Obama.

"We say that we must reduce," he went on. "President Obama himself has said that he dreams of a world without nuclear weapons. Before our very eyes, two countries are doing exactly the opposite at this very moment. Since 2005, Iran has violated five Security Council Resolutions . . .

"I support America's 'extended hand.' But what have these proposals for dialogue produced for the international community? Nothing but more enriched uranium and more centrifuges. And last but not least, it has resulted in a statement by Iranian leaders calling for wiping off the map a Member of the United Nations. What are we to do? What conclusions are we to draw? At a certain moment hard facts will force us to make decisions."

We thought we'd never see the day when the President of France shows more resolve than America's Commander in Chief for confronting one of the gravest challenges to global security. But here we are.
