Obama lacks the courage to confront Iran. He sat in a church that blamed the US government for inventing AIDS and injecting blacks with it, but did he have the courage to stand up all those years against this and other lunacy in his church? No.

Although Bush never explained it, Iraq was always a strategic move. Just look at a map. It sits next to both Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, where all the evil and oil emanate. With it’s own oil resources, a somewhat more free economy, and a somewhat educated, somewhat securalized populace, Iran can also be a stabilizing influence in the region. And now, finally, terrorists are being defeated and the government is beginning to function with minimal competence. The Iraqi Army is already arguably the finest in the Islamic world, too. Those are all chips on the table.

In spite of these self-evident truths, the brilliant Obama plans to draw down US forces and risk chaos, not leave them there to threaten Iran. He’ll actually sit down with Iran and prove his cowardice and weakness by begging for peace.

Meanwhile, because of his massive tax increases and new government bureaucracies, our economy will go into a severe recession, making us all the weaker.
