  • Can you imagine THAT in the hands of Muslim Brotherhood. In the hands of Hamas. Hezbollah. Iran.

    Well, imagine it, because it'll soon be reality.

    Meanwhile, the U.S. under Obama is turning into a geopolitical and economic weakling.

    We are heading straight for Third World War.

    Obama doesn't care. His policy is "After me - the flood." He is dangerous. He will get us all killed.

    Obama must go.

  • Even Obama is finally beginning to realize it.

    Iran is new Nazi Germany. A new axis around it has formed: Syria, Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, Venezuela, North Korea, Turkey, Russia. There are moves in MB-controlled Egypt to join the axis. Other "Arab spring" countries will probably follow.

    Does anyone know that Egypt makes American M1 Abrams tank: this huge, powerful machine, one of the best tanks in the world.

    Does anyone know that Abrams is the standard tank of Egyptian army

  • 4 years later, has that fist been unclenched? Are you working with the regime, Obama? Where is your magic touch?

    The plain truth is that the tyrannical regime, full of all sorts of corruption and hideousness of every kind, desperately needs an external enemy to justify itself and shift the blame. And the U.S. fits this role perfectly, merely because it is strong, far away, and different. No "bold statements" or any other form of ass-licking by American president can change that.

  • Ahmadinejad's ass-licker.

    To blame Iranian regime's acquisition of centrifuges on Bush is the height of insolence.

    Bush, like Clinton before him and Obama after him, tried desperately to be nice to Iranian regime. It was only after the regime rebuffed all his efforts that he wizened up.

    So Obama campaigned on "Iran and I will work with each other, trust me, I have the magic touch." And he was elected, and began his term by asking the regime to "unclench their fist."
