The Party Line on Iran has been circulating for awhile, and Obama has now latched onto it. From my blog, September 30, 2007:
The question of Iran now comes down to, "Who will bell the cat?"
Everyone knows it must be belled. Iran can't be allowed to get nuclear weapons. And Iran won't renounce them voluntarily. So SOMEBODY has to act, to destroy Iran's nuclear program.
Of course, fatuous lefties in this country bleat, "Iran has as much right to develop nuclear weapons as any other country." In a petty-fogging, legalistic way, that's true. . . .
What nations guide their actions by is not some abstract or hypothetical international law, but their own national interests. And it is not in our interests, nor in Israel's, to allow a lunatic who has vowed to nuke Israel, to develop nuclear weapons.
The cat must be belled, but the question remains, "Who will do it?"
So that sucker-bait has been in circulation at least since 2007: "Iran has a legal right to get nukes." It's an exceptionally stupid, but pious-sounding slogan -- thus it's just right for Obama! He doesn't want to do anything about Iran, he sympathizes with all Muslin and non-white nations, he has the black bigoted demagogue's inbred hostility to Jews, and so he has no intention of helping Israel stave off destruction. Therefore he trots out this petty-fogging legalistic argument devised by the Left to excuse his lack of action: "They have a legal right," yadda, yadda yadda.
This lying hypocrite is ruling our country for his OWN interests and purposes, and conniving and manipulating the American peopleto keep them from catching on.
