"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Get Ready for a Nuclear Iran -- Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and others

Obama has been touting no upgrades to our nuclear weapons arsenal and in fact, wants to destroy many of them even if Russia doesn't honor the treaty. At the same time Iran is continuing on with its nuclear program while the Obama does nothing. Instead he disses Israel and attempts to destabilize their leadership.

"Whose side is Obama on?" is being asked more and more by American citizens. This paragraph by John Bolton, former UN Ambassador, states what is most likely to happen as Obama twiddles his thumbs doing nothing constructive like he did during the Iranian uprising when he and Clinton, Secretary of State, sided with the Government against the Patriots of Iran. The danger of his agenda is shown in this paragraph by John Bolton that the possession of nuclear weapons capability will spread throughout the Middle East.

Even if containment and deterrence might be more successful against Iran than just suggested, nuclear proliferation doesn't stop with Tehran. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and perhaps others will surely seek, and very swiftly, their own nuclear weapons in response. Thus, we would imminently face a multipolar nuclear Middle East waiting only for someone to launch first or transfer weapons to terrorists. Ironically, such an attack might well involve Israel only as an innocent bystander, at least initially
What is Obama's answer to that? Going to the United Nations which is using the same old rhetoric that does nothing to stop Iran. The United Nations whose leadership comes from Third World countries does nothing to stop radical leaders including what was happening in Rwanda which should be a huge black mark on the UN. A lot of rhetoric and pontificating thrown around that amounts to nothing.

When the people went to the polls to vote in 2008, they did not envision a President that would dis our allies and stand up for our enemies. We are positive that thought didn't occur to any voters other than his friends and allies who pushed him to run.

We know Soros is behind Obama but who else? Who years ago set everything in motion for him to become President? Was it Franklin Marshall Davis and his comrades? If we had the answer to who pulls the puppet strings today, we are sure all of this would be much clearer. Who replaced Franklin Marshal Davis in Obama's life when he died? That might be the answer everyone is looking for today. His mentor, Davis, was a Communist and child pedophile in Obama's formative high school years which has left a deeply flawed man with no background available for his college years and beyond except the radicals he was around in Chicago.

What can we expect out of Obama on the Iranian situation? Not much except more rhetoric would be the logical conclusion. What will Obama do if Israel strikes? We suspect he will vehemently condemn Israel which means the American people will have to stand up and have their voices heard for Israel if they make this strike. Even Arab nations like Saudi Arabia know a strike by Israel is in their best interest as they and other Arab countries don't trust Iran any more than the United States should. Israel, we believe, will be forced to do something as they can not survive a nuclear Iran as nuclear weapons would spread throughout the Middle East.

This is a nightmare scenario that today's leadership of the United States is ill prepared to handle with such a weak President and Secretary of State.

Get Ready for a Nuclear Iran
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and others
By John Bolton

Negotiations grind on toward a fourth U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution against Iran's nuclear weapons program, even as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrives in New York to address the Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference. Sanctions advocates acknowledge that the Security Council's ultimate product will do no more than marginally impede Iran's progress.

In Congress, sanctions legislation also creaks along, but that too is simply going through the motions. Russia and China have already rejected key proposals to restrict Iran's access to international financial markets and choke off its importation of refined petroleum products, which domestically are in short supply. Any new U.S. legislation will be ignored and evaded, thus rendering it largely symbolic. Even so, President Obama has opposed the legislation, arguing that unilateral U.S. action could derail his Security Council efforts.

The further pursuit of sanctions is tantamount to doing nothing. Advocating such policies only benefits Iran by providing it cover for continued progress toward its nuclear objective. It creates the comforting illusion of "doing something." Just as "diplomacy" previously afforded Iran the time and legitimacy it needed, sanctions talk now does the same.

Speculating about regime change stopping Iran's nuclear program in time is also a distraction. The Islamic Revolution's iron fist, and willingness to use it against dissenters (who are currently in disarray), means we cannot know whether or when the regime may fall. Long-term efforts at regime change, desirable as they are, will not soon enough prevent Iran from creating nuclear weapons with the ensuing risk of further regional proliferation.
