Iran's best friend, continued...

Iran isn't going to go away as a national security issue in the 2008 election. John McCain continues to lead on this issue because he understands what is at stake here. An Iran with nukes would be a threat to the mideast region, Europe, and eventually the United States.

Obama's willingness to talk to the Iranians without pre-conditions is getting results. The result being that the Iranians have figured out that if he's elected they'll be able to sucker one more head of state into believing the "peaceful" intentions of their nuclear program. Why the Iranians are so peaceful that we shouldn't worry a bit that every aspect of their bogus "nuclear power" program is really a nuclear weapons program in a thinly-veiled disguise. Iran is enriching uranium and building heavy water plants, huge projects that have nothing to with generating electric power and everything to do with making atomic bombs.

The Iranians follow our election campaign, and they know they will have a friend in Obama-

"Obama's words on "preconditions" have helped ease domestic pressure on Ahmadinejad to comply with the United Nations and the IAEA. The Iranian president is telling his domestic critics to shut up until after the US election. Why, after all, should he make concessions that a putative President Obama has already dismissed as unnecessary?"
