Our Iranian policy, such as it is, slips another notch.
Nevermind this says to the Mullahs "Ok. Fine. You can Have your nuke. Just don't use it."
Nevermind that Israel, if it were attacked, is quite capable of removing Iran from the face of the earth in a retaliatory strike before O's phone even rings.
Nevermind what the response from the other nuclear nations would be if we piled on AFTER Israel had already counterstruck. (not that I'm necessarily against that, mind you, nor piling on now for that matter).
Nevermind the apocalyptic Mullahs don't understand deterence, or that once that first Islamic nuke hits the nuclear umbrella is mute, because then it will be on and it's over, in one moment.
Just how in the hell can he threaten a nuclear response when, during the campaign, he vowed to disarm ourselves of nukes?
I'm no longer hoping we can get through the next four years. I'm just hoping we can survive them reasonably intact.
From FoxNews:
President-elect Barack Obama will offer Israel a strategic pact designed to fend off any nuclear attack on the Jewish state by Iran, an Israeli newspaper reported on Thursday.
Haaretz, quoting an unnamed source, said the Obama administration would pledge under the proposed "nuclear umbrella" to respond to any Iranian strike on Israel with a "devastating U.S. nuclear response."
Granting Israel a nuclear guarantee would essentially suggest the U.S. is willing to come to terms with a nuclear Iran, the paper reported.
According to the paper's source, Obama's nuclear guarantee would be backed by a new and improved Israeli anti-ballistic missile system. The Bush administration took the first step by deploying an early-warning radar system, which enhances the ability to detect Iranian ballistic missiles.
No immediate comment from Israeli officials or the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv was offered.
