The roadmap

Did you know that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is in Washington today meeting with President Obama? Tomorrow he will speak to the United Nations General Assembly. Netanyahu is expected to warn at the UN about Iran, which is working with North Korea to get the nuclear weapons of both coutries functional.

Dan Miller writes,

Financial and other sanctions have harmed nearly every aspect of Iranian life — except the development of the nuclear weaponry at which they have been directed. The results suggest a high a degree of naïveté on the part of the Western negotiators, and superior negotiating prowess on the part of the Iranians, who spring from long lines of Persian rug merchants. If negotiations had been held with starving Iranians instead, the results might well have been different; they were not and have not been. Neither, for that matter have our negotiations with North Korea over food and humanitarian relief for starving North Koreans involved starving North Koreans, who just conceivably might prefer a little more rice and perhaps even an occasional morsel of meat rather than the greater glory and deification of (the current) Dear Leader Kim and continued dominance of his regency.

John Bolton talks about Obama's moral equivalency. No mention of Islamic jihad or Muslim terrorism against non-Muslims and other Muslims in Obama's address to the United Nations.

Thanks to Dan Miller
