On FOX News Sunday Bill Kristol mocked Barack Obama’s “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever will be, will be)” nuclear policy with Iran and North Korea.
Bill Kristol:
I think I know, even though I’m not a nuclear expert, that Iran’s getting nuclear weapons is a heck of a lot more important than these paper treaties and these 46 nation conferences and the president is doing nothing from stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons. That is the bottom line. That dwarfs everything else from happening…
Let me just read one thing he said Friday morning, “You know the history of the Iranian regime like the North Korean regime is, you know, you apply international pressure on these countries. Sometimes they choose to change behavior, sometimes they don’t.” …Que Sera, Sera. You do your best. You get these four Security Council resolutions and then they go ahead and get nuclear weapons. The president’s attitude is “Hmph.”

BOMB the sh!T out of their nuke development sites NOW
any more stupid questions???
ExcuseMe? commented:
OK, so you bomb the nuclear sites, and in retaliation Iran shuts down the Straits of Hormuz and engages U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then what?
Chippy commented:
Then bomb them again jackass! Anymore stupid questions?
Chisum commented:
Chippy,
Actually a regime change would have been the ideal solution to Iran. But we let that opportunity go by, didn’t we?
If BO’s attempts to interfere in Honduras are anything to go by, I suppose we shouldn’t rely on the hope that he would be any more successful in Iran.
Carbon Monoxide commented:
“OK, so you bomb the nuclear sites, and in retaliation Iran shuts down the Straits of Hormuz and engages U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then what?”
Then we annihilate them. We kill so many of them so fast; they don’t have time to bury them. We keep killing them when the world recoils in horror. We keep killing them when the UN calls for a halt. We keep killing them when Russia recalls their ambassador and puts their troops on alert.
We keep killing them until they say “My Allah, they love killing more than we love death!”
Then we won’t have to send our boys to die in another s**t hole in 5 or 10 years. It will over.
olm commented:
CO, exactly.
ExcuseMe? commented:
So Carbon Monoxide, you think you’re morally justified to exterminate the people of Iran so that their government doesn’t acquire nuclear weapons? Who gave you that mandate? And how are you going to function in the international community when you have actually annihilated a country, given that the reason to control nuclear weapons is so that no country actually gets annihilated? How is what you’re proposing anything but evil?
ExcuseMe? commented:
Chisum, when did we have a chance at “regime change” in Iran?
sliderblaze commented:
I think what he/she is advocating… fight a war to win. We take every precaution and use our technology to avoid civil. casualties….i mean damn, remember wwii, carpet bombing? Sometime in order to fight and beat the devil, one must become the devil himself, those who fight fair, usually end up dead… US always fights with one hand behinds it’s back. Take that as a lesson from WWII, has japan acted up since?
sliderblaze commented:
“Chisum, when did we have a chance at “regime change” in Iran?”
Irans green movement, remember, protests in the streets, killing…. Obama MIA…. That was the best chance we had, would it have worked, who knows…
Chisum commented:
Sliderblaze,
Don’t expect the troll to get it.
sliderblaze commented:
i dont, just like asking the obvious questions with the obvious answers and getting a totally crazy answer.
like who was it that was trying to equate the moral authority of the USA to that of the Russians yesterday? They didnt see a difference between USA posted in poland and Kstan to that of Russia being posted in Mexico.
Joanne commented:
I think hitting Iran hard and swiftly will give the Iranian people the opportunity to take back Iran, while the Iranian leaders still have their mouths open wide not knowing what the h*ll just him them.
The question that should be asked is “What are people going to do when Iran has nukes and starts using them on us and the State of Israel?” People need to get their priorities straight. Iran is run by nutjobs intend on killing all infidels, including all Muslims who oppose them.
Joanne commented:
“….while the Iranian leaders still have their mouths open wide not knowing what the h*ll just ‘hit’ them.”
“Iran is run by nutjobs ‘intent’ on killing…”
Granny Jan commented:
Why don’t more people mock him?
That’s ALL I do and I put it on You Tube the last one inspired by Kristol. If you want to see him mocked big time you’re welcome to click on my name.
avery commented:
Become part of a international,hell no.Maybe we could arm the Green movement in Iran befor we bomb the site.
ExcuseMe? commented:
I wouldn’t make the assumption that an outside strike against the government would result in a popular uprising against the government. Bay of Pigs, anyone? I think it’s much more likely that the people of Iran would galvanize against a common enemy just as they did when Iraq attacked — which is how Khomeni ended up consolidating his power in the early 1980s.
Siderblaze, where are the troops going to come from for a sustained war in Iran? How are we going to pay for it? How long do you think that war would go on before we could leave?
Jo commented:
Barack Obama: Iran will not make a nuclear weapon, they promised me. I belive them because they are not ‘bitter Christians.’ ‘You know those bitter christians cling to their Bibles and to their guns.!’ Those Christians are failures. Allah is great, and the Mullah Mega bomb is not such a bad idea. Give it a Chance, my name is Barack Huisinsane Obama.
‘Some one get me my Meds?’

I *DO* like your attitude.
It’s just a damned shame that we don’t have anybody in our government with the cojones to carry that out.
ExcuseMe? commented:
Solartov, Iran’s unforgivable sin is to threaten to acquire a nuclear weapon, right? And that’s unforgivable because it would give Iran the capacity to destroy a city, right? They wouldn’t actually be destroying it, they would just have the capacity to. How does that justify destroying a country? What gives you the right to do so?
Rob De Wit commented:
“Que sera, sera” indeed. Perfect.
For those of you too young to remember, the opening line of that song goes “When I was just a little girl…”
NuckingFutz commented:
Excuse me?
Honest question..
When (if ever) was the last time you pulled your head out of your ass long enough to see the sun??????
ExcuseMe? commented:
Nucking Futz, shall I take that to mean you don’t have an actual answer?
Common Sense commented:
Umm ExcuseMe IRan President has stated that:
“This regime that is occupying Jerusalem must be eliminated from the pages of history.”
Sound pretty much like a Nuke could do that.
Tom63010 commented:
The ONLY way sanctions work is if the main exporters to Iran participate, that would be Russia and China neither if which is at this conference. Just another Dog and Pony Show for the ignorant supporter of this doofus!
Kukee American commented:
Dear ExcuseMe?,
First we bomb their nulear sites and then we send over a delegatation of Democratic congressmen and congresswomen and includeing the President and Vice President.
Then we tell Iran to close off the strait. We then put sanctions on them so that no one, absolutely no one can leave the country.
Problem solved. They will learn how to be nice people after the Democrats teach them.
CO is CRAZY commented:
Yes CO, let’s just kill them all. Kill everyone. In the world.
Iran has never invaded or attacked another country. We (the US CIA) on the other hand toppled their democractically elected president in 1953. Then when they overthrew a US puppet dictator (the Shah) with what was granted a fanatical government, we supported Iraq’s invasion of Iran. We gave them cover, support, money, and weapons so they could annhilate Iran for us. The Iraqis killed a million Iranians.
So to answer your question of “will killing millions of Iranians work”, it won’t work. It didn’t work. It will only encourage them and everyone else to get nuclear weapons for their own safety. Once you attack and demonstrate the willingness to invade a country that hasn’t attacked you (which we did in Iraq), it just makes every other rogue regime more intent on getting weapons.
That’s not to say that Iran is a great regime, it’s a rogue dictatorship. That’s also not saying we should be meek. But no, we can’t just keep attacking, invading, and annhiliating. Above all, we’re out of money. Iraq and Afghanistan were fought off the books, so basically china is financing our war.
speaking of which, while we’re concerned about Iran, China is spending like crazy on military. We need to get American factories up and running for defense. They make so much of our stuff. Do you think they’ll keep selling us the supplies we need if we’re at war?
