Tough column in the Wall Street Journal outlining the month's long agitation the French an British have been having over Obama's indecision and simple minded and "ME-FIRST" rhetoric regarding the Iran nuclear power situation...

____


President Obama wants a unified front against Iran, and to that end he stood together with Nicolas Sarkozy and Gordon Brown in Pittsburgh on Friday morning to reveal the news about Tehran's secret facility to build bomb-grade fuel. But now we hear that the French and British leaders were quietly seething on stage, annoyed by America's handling of the announcement.

Both countries wanted to confront Iran a day earlier at the United Nations. Mr. Obama was, after all, chairing a Security Council session devoted to nonproliferation. The latest evidence of Iran's illegal moves toward acquiring a nuclear weapon was in hand. With the world's leaders gathered in New York, the timing and venue would be a dramatic way to rally international opinion.

President Sarkozy in particular pushed hard. He had been "frustrated" for months about Mr. Obama's reluctance to confront Iran, a senior French government official told us, and saw an opportunity to change momentum. But the Administration told the French that it didn't want to "spoil the image of success" for Mr. Obama's debut at the U.N. and his homily calling for a world without nuclear weapons, according to the Paris daily Le Monde. So the Iran bombshell was pushed back a day to Pittsburgh, where the G-20 were meeting to discuss economic policy.

"We are right to talk about the future," Mr. Sarkozy said, referring to the U.S. resolution on strengthening arms control treaties. "But the present comes before the future, and the present includes two major nuclear crises," i.e., Iran and North Korea. "We live in the real world, not in a virtual one." No prize for guessing into which world the Frenchman puts Mr. Obama.

"We say that we must reduce," he went on. "President Obama himself has said that he dreams of a world without nuclear weapons. Before our very eyes, two countries are doing exactly the opposite at this very moment. Since 2005, Iran has violated five Security Council Resolutions . . .

"I support America's 'extended hand.' But what have these proposals for dialogue produced for the international community? Nothing but more enriched uranium and more centrifuges. And last but not least, it has resulted in a statement by Iranian leaders calling for wiping off the map a Member of the United Nations. What are we to do? What conclusions are we to draw? At a certain moment hard facts will force us to make decisions."

We thought we'd never see the day when the President of France shows more resolve than America's Commander in Chief for confronting one of the gravest challenges to global security. But here we are.

Sinatra once again mishandles deliberately the obvious intent of the article. The article recounts the Europeans' anger at being upstaged and forced to be BHO's junior partners.

That's in no way ineptness. It is BHO showing the Europeans that he is boss, exactly as he did to the Republicans in the last election when he kicked their collective ass.

Get over it, Sinatra.

Correction: Sinatra mishandles deliberately the obvious intent of everything he posts. Unless it's full of shit in the first place that is.

No it was him upstaging the Euros to make political points rather than address the issues in an effective way.
Pretty much the story of this presidency so far.
But then again, this is from "Jake, King of the Unsubstantiated Statement."

I am unfamiliar with this Jake - but it appears comprehension is not their strong suit...
 
He is "Jake, King of the Unsubstantiated Statement."
He will roll in and say some inane thing like "Obama has the best poll numbers of any president elected in even years" and then roll out again.
He is like hemorrhoids: mostly annoying and rarely serious.

I have not been afflicted with those - but have read this Jake's postings and that was a tiring and utterly boring endeavor...
 
It's all about Hopey Changey at this point. He really is becoming a bit of a Megalomaniac. This really is becoming a big problem. I don't think that it's so much of him being a "Wimp" but rather i feel he has become a Megalomaniac. It's all about him now. Our allies are now beginning to understand this and i think more Americans will understand this in time as well. He's just far too busy with promoting himself to actually sit down with his Generals and discuss these very serious issues. This is just what i am noticing. Pretty sad stuff. :(

LOL..

So now we have the republicans complaining because the French had their feelings hurt. Long way from Freedom Fries
