A Strange Turn of History<\/h1>\n

\u201cIn a strange turn of history, the threat of global nuclear war has gone down, but the risk of a nuclear attack has gone up.\u201d<\/em> \u2013BHO, 2009<\/p>\n

While reading Philip Taubman\u2019s book The Partnership<\/em>, a story about \u201cfive Cold Warriors and their quest to ban the bomb,\u201d I was amazed by how he mentions President Obama in glowing terms\u2014as a politician concerned and speaking out about the dangers nuclear weapons pose to the world at large\u2014but refers to Iran as a one of those countries whose \u201cnuclear program\u201d the same world should regard as suspect and a veritable kindle stick to what has always been a volatile and preponderantly Muslim Middle East. He quotes President Obama who, during a visit to Prague in 2009, remarked, \u201cIn a strange turn of history, the threat of global nuclear war has gone down, but the risk of a nuclear attack has gone up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, in light of the \u201cIran deal\u201d recently orchestrated by Obama\u2019s shamelessly sycophantic John Kerry, Taubman tells that it was the view of William Perry (one of the Cold Warriors) way back when that, \u201cthe intersection of terrorism and the weapons programs in North Korea and Iran will push nuclear threats out of control. \u2018If Iran and North Korea cannot be stopped from building nuclear arsenals,\u2019 he said, \u2018I believe that we will cross that tipping point, with consequences that will be dangerous beyond most people\u2019s imagination.\u2019 \u201d He recounts that in 2008, during a presidential debate, Obama said that \u201c\u2026the biggest threat to the United States is a terrorist getting their hands on nuclear weapons.\u201d So, I am not so perplexed by Philip Taubman\u2019s blind and salivating support of Barack Obama as I am by President Obama\u2019s complete repudiation of his professed convictions then about the dangers of nuclear weapons and the absence of what should have been, to date, a corresponding foreign policy as regards Iran. His recent imbecility, or, as it has become known, \u201cthe Iran deal,\u201d has not only evoked the choler of his Republican opponents but also that of some of his fellow Democrats, including Robert Menendez and Chuck Schumer.<\/p>\n

What kind of leader wilfully enables a professed enemy of the USA to produce nuclear weapons?<\/strong> <\/em>Certainly not a leader known for patriotic rhetoric, and certainly not a leader known for telling the truth. This is the same Barack Obama who, during his first term as President, condemned Iran unreservedly, as though there was never any doubt that Iran was a rogue nation and a danger to the security of the entire world, let alone the Middle East: \u201cI state clearly and with conviction America\u2019s commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.\u201d But now he\u2019s given the green light to Iran to continue its \u201cnuclear program,\u201d as though Iran were a trusted friend and not a sworn enemy of the United States of America\u2014as though the Republic of Iran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons. \u201cI\u2019m not na\u00efve,\u201d said President Obama back in 2009. Oh, but yes you are, Mr. President.<\/p>\n
