#6 If The World learned to negotiate from the same source like Corbin Dallas, then I would be all for negotiations.

#8 Don't worry, on his whirlwind tour of the Middle East and he stops by Tehran he will talk about Iran having a "right" to nuclear arms.

#9 Obama is a master of semantics. By the World, he means the UN. Half-bright is even one of his advisors. In the Bin Ladens of Kosovo article yesterday, they touted their tolerance of Muslims and Catholics as a workable model, explaining why new mosques were dotting the landscape yet western dress and smut prevailed. An excerpt:
After the war many humanitarian organizations came here, in general from the Gulf Kuwait, Qatar, others. We havent had rules, we havent had a government. All things have been under the U.N., so they opened the door to these kind of organizations. They operated legally. We couldnt have control. Why? Because they have the money.
Any worldly UN solution will be the demise of the whole world.

#11 Trailing wife, the world will accomplish this by doing nothing (or selling equipment through the Iranian back door) until the US acts, and then berating us for our militarism. That is there plan, I'm curious how long it takes Obama to figure it out.

#12 I don't know how anybody can trust this guy with anything let alone Iran. I watched his interview with Charlie Gibson on ABC news last night. In fairness, it looked to me anyway like Gibson was trying to ask tough questions and had Obama tripping up a bit. The guy is nowhere near being ready for prime time. My problem is that I still don't trust McCain either. It sucks.

#13 Choose the lesser of two evils, dear Ebbang Uluque6305. That's all that our 'first past the post' political system ever results in.

Jon Stewart of the Daily Show thoroughly mocked Candidate Obama's Tour of Duty last night, and the worshipping press trailing behind, so this is not going unnoticed where it counts.

#14 ...where he said that the entire world must act to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions. "A nuclear Iran would pose a grave threat and the world must prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,"

Sure hope the voters come to their senses and get over the "love in" with BO. This guy is not ready for prime time (or for that matter late, late night). Obama, the world is not going to do anything about a nuclear Iran other than wring their hands. Should you, God forbid get to be President, it will be up to you to figure out something. No time for naivite, conflict resolution, community organization, and timidity. Iran says they will use a nuclear capability when they get it. You will be in the catbird seat and actually have to do something. How are you going to prevent Iran from obtaining nukes? So far Iran has lied and been duplicitous while buying for time. Sanctions against Iran are working about as well as they did against Iraq under Saddam. Negotiations are going nowhere. What makes you think you are so much smarter than everyone else? What makes you think you can bring about change? As the saying goes: "Spit in one hand and hope in the other and see which fills up more quickly."

#15 This statement now from the guy who said that Iran poses no significant threat to us and he'd sit down to talk directly with Achmedinajad...Oh right - that was during the primary!
