"When France chides you for appeasement, you know you're scraping bottom."
That is how Charles Krauthammer's new column at Real Clear Politics opens.
What could possibly be more true. It seems that as the President was calling for the elimination of nuclear weapons at the UN last week, he was sitting on information that Iran was getting closer to joining the nuclear fraternity. And he didn't want to reveal the intelligence on the uranium enrichment facility near the city of Qom because it might detract from his speech.
What? What astounding hubris. Here's The President of the United States, indulging the dangerous fantasy of calling for the end to nukes, while one of the most dangerous governments on earth is on the verge of acquiring them. What a world class display of naivete.
The situation with Iran is this simple: The more access we get, the more we win. The more there is delay of that access, the more Iran wins. So who's winning when our President is unwilling to do anything but talk? The Krauthammer piece is here.
