As time ticks by, over half the "Bush Years" and over a full year into President Obama's first tem, there is still nothing with any teeth on the board, to stop Iran from having nuclear weapons. Yet, the patented line, "we are working with our partners and the U.N.," comes from both Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates. After meeting with Israel's defense minister, Ehud Barak, Gates' response, to reporters was, "I am very satisfied with the planning process in the building and in the inner agency. We spend a lot of time on Iran, and will continue to do so." In contrary to his statement, he also said, "Hamas has more rockets and missiles, than most countries militaries." Hillary Clinton's, minimal words (after meeting with officials from the E. U.), "The United States is working with our partners with the United Nations and the European Union on tough new sanctions that will "further sharpen" the choices that Iran's leaders face." Really?
Of course, most people are not "geo-political experts" and nobody (unless deep in the governments) knows what classified material Israel and "allied nations" are looking at. However, anyone who does have any business experience, at all, knows that if there is a continuous problem, there must be actual actions taken to solve the problem. Therefore, why is it that either Gates and/or Clinton, all of the U. S., E. U., and "allied nations" leaders and delegates not locked in a room, for however long it takes to stop this out of control country? Of course, it is not that simple, nothing in government and world wide politics ever is, but the same principle still applies. If there is time for our "leaders" (world wide), who say they can "walk and chew gum at the same time," to banter about immigration, the economy, housing, and a plethora of other things, then why is there not time and a concerted effort to take a week, two, or a month (four hours a day, till it is done), to put sanctions on Iran (with "teeth" in the sanctions)? Answer, nobody can do anything about Iran, until Russia and China come on board.
The only thing that is going to make Iran stop it's nuclear options are either Iran doing it themselves (which isn't going to happen, by their own rhetoric), the whole free world and the U. N. and N. A. T. O. countries to stop all flow of natural and refined gasoline to Iran (by blocking the "Straight of Hormus," where Iran just got finished having "war games.") and an embargo/trade freeze with Iran across the board (which would definitely hurt the Iranian people and President Obama has said he would not do), or else Israel is going to "temporarily stop" Iran, by using it's superior air power to hit nuclear targets, inside Iran. The problem with the last option, which everyone in the world knows, once Israel starts the air raids (which Barak hinted at, in the press conference, with Gates), Hamas and Hezbollah will open up with massive air/missile strikes. When that happens, it will make the last "War Over Lebanon" look like a walk in the park. Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and just about all of Israel will be in play, for rocket attacks, and NOBODY knows if they have the biological and/or chemical tips, for those rockets (for sure).
At a stand still for over 6 years, on this issue, it is now up to the United States, President Obama, and the rest of the world to: 1. get those severely tough sanctions in place (making sure that Russia, and China is either on board, or off, but continuing either way, with the majority of the countries backing this. 2. Israel will start the air raids, probably right after the U. S. summer and before elections in the U. S. (as the Prime Minister of Israel and Obama are at odds, and have been, since he has taken office. This proven by the 72% of Israel people stating that they feel President Barack Obama is an "Anti-Semite". (Their words, not mine)
President Obama and the U. S. will have to decide on whether to help, or not, Israel with the Hamas/Hezbollah problem (sure to come), and there is not guarantee on that. 3. Iran will go nuclear. Out of these three steps, the way the problem is being pushed to the back, politicians using nickel and dime tactics (in the U. S. and world wide) to try to stop Iran, and the bold in your face disregard, for world wide sentiment of Iran, it does not look good for the United States, the E. U., or the fact this will start an arms race in the Middle East. Only God knows, what will happen, but let's all not kid ourselves. At the moment, there looks to be NOTHING on the road, looking promising, in stopping Iran from going nuclear. Therefore, Gates, Clinton and ultimately President Obama have made the U. S. look even more weak, then it does economically and world wide, at present. Which is a tough task to do, much less accomplish it. However, tough times and tough questions/problems, deserve tough actions and decisive measures. If President Obama would look at the Iranian problem, like he did the Health Care problem, then the United States might be in another place. At least, he would have done more than President G. W. Bush did, who is still the whipping boy for the left.
