Amazing. Apparently Iran's capacity to create Nuclear weapons and potentially give such weapons to terrorist's, is not a serious threat?
Dean Barnett over at the Weekly Standard had a great line about Obama,when he referredto our military budget versus that of Iran's.
Can it be that the presumptive Democratic nominee missed
all that talk about asymmetrical forces and the threats they pose
earlier in the decade? If so, perhaps he still noticed 9/11. Al Qaeda
spent a lot less than "1/100th of what we spend" on what could be calledmilitary operations, and yet most people concluded after the World TradeCenter Towers crumbled that even with a relatively lean budget, Al Qaeda did in fact pose a "serious threat" to us.
If Jimmy Carter and George McGovern could combine themselves into one human being, you'd have Barack Obama. We have no business losing to this guy in November.

John McCain hit Barack Obama hard on Friday for Obama's position that he would meet with new Cuban Communist Dictator Raul Castro without any preconditions. Obama made the statement in a Democratic Debate on Thursday:
McCain noted Friday that Obama, as a U.S. Senate candidate in 2003, supported the "normalization of relations with Fidel Castro." Obama said Thursday night he supports "the eventual normalization."
"Obama said that as president he'd meet with the imprisoned island's new leader `without preconditions,"' McCain said. "So Raul Castro gets an audience with an American president, and all the prestige such a meeting confers, without having to release political prisoners, allow free media, political parties, and labor unions, or schedule internationally monitored free elections."
"Meet, talk and hope may be a sound approach in a state legislature," McCain said in a dig at Obama's experience as a state senator before his 2004 Senate election. "But it is dangerously naive in international diplomacy where the oppressed look to America for hope and adversaries wish us ill."
A McCain adviser said his campaign didn't criticize Clinton's remarks because she didn't say she'd meet with Castro with no restrictions.
