Big surprise, Iran might not have been completely, totally, 100% up front about its nuclear program. So they forget to mention until now that they had that second plant. But here’s the big takeaway from the WaPo story:
“If I were [President] Obama’s adviser, I would definitely advise him to refrain making this statement because it is definitely a mistake,” Ahmedinejad told Time magazine Friday in an interview in New York that took place even as Obama was publicly revealing the plant’s existence. “It would definitively be a mistake.”
Ahmadinejad dismissed the accusations from Obama and the other leaders.
Advertisement“This does not mean we must inform Mr. Obama’s administration of every facility that we have,” he told Time. It “simply adds to the list of issues [over] which the United States owes the Iranian nation an apology.” [Emphasis added.]
This is what happens when you start apologizing to nutjobs like Ahmedinejad. Once you do, they get it in their heads that you need to apologize for everything, including stuff they did.
Where does it all end? That’s what I’m afraid we’re going to find out.
I’m afraid it never ends. BTW, I am quite enamored of this post title.
Wouldn’t the Qom facility count as a shovel-ready project? May as well send them some of the same money we’re sending Brazil to drill for oil for the Chinese, or that we’re sending to Finland to build electric cars for Al Gore.
Obama has known about this since he assumed office, then. Wtf was he thinking when he made all those apology speeches abroad, sang kumbaya, and failed to push the Iranian regime over the edge when its citizens rebelled after that last “election”? What was in the man’s head? How could he know what he knows and still talk about appeasement, moral equivalence, American unexceptionalism, and approaching the Offended Ones with an open hand?
What a snake, recording that Happy New Years speech to the Iranian people, knowing their government was exposing them to a horrid attack. Watch him shaft the refugees, too. Sickening. We’re probably losing the friendship and trust of generations of Iranian people with this gutless betrayal.
As Jay Leno points out, the Iranian president’s name is pronounced:
Mach-mooed Ah-ma-nut-job.
