Iran Going Nuclear

September 28, 2009 by Noisy Dove

We knew about it. That’s probably one of the many reasons Bush had a big boner for Iran. When you’re trying to keep good intelligence coming in the last thing you want to do is release the intelligence you have. (you also want to avoid exasperating your intelligence agents) If you start letting secrets slip out your sources will soon dry up – because the enemy will ‘plug’ those leaks.

Obama’s taking a different approach. He’s crippling our intelligence efforts in order to show ‘evidence’ to trying pulling in multi-national support. lol

I was thinking earlier about the nuclear deproliferation thing. Unless Obama is just pandering to the far left – some more, it might be a tactic. He might be trying to build credibility. He figures if all the big nations are Iran going Nuclear agreeing to get rid of nukes Iran and N Korea will agree to stop making theirs. Indeed – that’s totally stupid because both regimes are irrational and unreasonable, and know that once they do get a functioning nuclear weapons system they can do all sorts of fun things. Iran can firmly take control of the Middle East and N Korea can keep extorting all kinds of goodies from the free world – or open a nuke store.

Obama seems convinced that his charming personality can win over this unreasonableness. But Kim and Mahmoud know his game – they play it too, they know all about ignoring reality and appealing to the emotions of the listeners with generalities. They’re immune to Obama’s fancy speeches.

And there’s one other problem. They know American politics well enough to know the US currently has no backbone. Look at Afghanistan! There is controversy around sending Gates what he needs to square things away like they did in Iraq – because increasing troop numbers is the big scary no-no in Leftist politics, since Vietnam anyway.

Mc Cain was right – again – as usual. It’s not US presence- it is US casualties that makes Americans loose Iran-nuclear-2 their stomach. Is anyone protesting Iraq? No. American soldiers aren’t getting killed much anymore. We could keep a base there for the next 50 year, like we have in Germany and Japan, and Americans wouldn’t care. But now Americans are dying in Afghanistan and we can’t learn the simple lessons we’ve learned this past 8 years. People are still whining to bring the troops home and the government is still trying to play both sides by not fully committing and getting the job done.

Obama isn’t even thinking about fully committing and fixing Afghanistan. He wants to sit on things and contemplate a strategy using fewer troops and only focusing on protecting the cities and high population concentrations. That’s ridicules on multiple levels. We need to be in the boonies because that’s where Al Qaeda is. The country people are the ones we need to make friends with. We can’t expect to sit in the urban areas or off shore and lob missiles and send in special forces strikes because we won’t have the intelligence to know what to hit.

Iran Going Nuclear Please Obama – give Gates what he needs. Let him square things way and get Afghanistan and Pakistan standing on some even ground. Then we can stare N Korea and Iran down with the full force of our all volunteer, unprecedentedly compassionate and careful, most ass-kickingest military the world has ever known. Then you can tell Kim and Mahmoud, “Knock if off! Or next summer you’ll find some 6-foot-tall American kids pulling you out of the rat hole you’ve been hiding in since Ramadan.”
