J Street: Obama has right strategy on Iran http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/j-street-obama-has-right-strategy-on-iran/ J Street says President Obama is handling Iran the proper way, but doesn’t rule out sanctions if Iran doesn’t cooperate. en-us efingerhut@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-10-02T;01:41:01-05:00 Comment by Yosef Hartuv yosefandmelody@gmail.com Where Obama sees tentative success, reality suggests failure. Faced with irrefutable evidence, Tehran acknowledged that it had built a second, covert nuclear-enrichment plant, squirreled away in an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base near Qom. Neither Obama nor the director of national intelligence, Dennis C. Blair, acknowledged that Iranian confirmation of its second enrichment plant belied the veracity of the 2007 National Intelligence Estimate. Regardless, Tehran’s decision to confess when confronted with proof of cheating should not be considered the same as Iranian transparency and goodwill. http://calevbenyefuneh.blogspot.com/2009/10/bad-options-on-iran.html#links Where Obama sees tentative success, reality suggests failure.

Nuclear proliferation is the problem and the country that said that it would not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East in fact, of course, did so long ago and the whole world knows it. Israel should take note that not every country and it’s citizens tremble with fear at the very mention of it’s name, it’s nuclear fangs notwithstanding.

When will it stop its violations of the United Nations Charter, specifically, its brutality of a conquered people and the seizure of their lands? Never.  That’s when.  You phonies are a stench in the nostrils of decent human beings.
