When the French are complaining about your lack of backbone, you know you have a problem.

Ummm, Byron dear, who do you think Monsiuer Sarkozy was speaking of when he said in the same speech (oddly enough not quoted here…) that:

“Since 2005, Secretary-General, the international community has called on Iran to engage in dialogue. An offer of dialogue was made in 2005, an offer of dialogue was made in 2006, an offer of dialogue was made in 2007, an offer of dialogue was made in 2008, and another one was made in 2009. But what did the international community gain from these offers of dialogue? Nothing. More enriched uranium, more centrifuges, and on top of that, a statement by Iranian leaders proposing to wipe a UN member State off the map.”

I ask you the same: What progress did the Bush administration make in the past 5 years to limit Iran’s development of nuclear weapons? Hmm????

How many more nuclear grade weapons has N. Korea developed since 2002?
Wasn’t it Saint George who struck a deal with N. Korea in 2007 promising to remove it from the terrorist nations, lifting its banking restrictions, and sending it a boatload of money in exchange for N. Korea providing a list of its nuclear program in 60 days? Yeah, that was a real good deal. For the N. Koreans.

John Bolton’s 2008 comment on Bush’s foreign policy summed it best: “The only good news is that there is little opportunity for the Bush administration to make any further concessions in its waning days in office.” Praise the Lord.

Pppfffttt. You people have the memory of gnat.
