13. Wally Lind “With Obama as president it is almost gauranteed that Iran will be a nuclear power. A weak sister, like Clinton, he will take not actual action to stop Iran” The jury is still out on whether Obama will continue THAT far with his appeasement. While he certainly has entertained the apologists and lick-spittles with his ‘olive-branch’ approach to Islamists, whether he will maintain that when he is eventually presented with incontravertable evidence of Irans nuke-building ambitions (remembering also it’ll be a Shiite bomb – not a Sunni one!) is another thing. The rub will be whether or not he CAN do anything about it. Embroiling America in another conflict in the region to head Iran off at the pass as it were is unthinkable – it would be a disaster. BUT, he could, if he were sneaky enough, get someone else capable and prepared to do so (of which the Israelis would have to be the most on both accounts). I’m thinking that once he’s obsorbed enough realpolitik dealing with Islam AND Iran, he may just change his present tune. We have to have that hope or its all over Red Rover. Oh, and Hilary will do whatever its in the best interests of Hilary to do – whether its appeasing Hamas or (eventually) sticking the boot into Iran and their delightful leader Iwantmedinnerdad. One must also hope that they will read Ray Ibrahim’s brilliant article – and realise that whatever is negotiated with the likes of Hamas etc, will be a readily revoked hudna at best.
