The New York Times: Israel's Mouthpiece
PARIS - Senator Barack Obama yesterday warned Iran not to wait for a new American president and accept an international proposal now to stop enriching uranium.
If not, he said, "the pressure, I think, is only going to build."
In a quick visit to Paris for a meeting with President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, said the two men agreed that Iran poses "an extraordinarily grave situation" with dangers to Israel, the West, and the hope of nuclear nonproliferation. The world, he said, must send "a clear message to Iran to end its illicit nuclear program."
Didn't we hear all this crap from Bush in the run-up to Iraq?!?!
Iran insists it has a program only for peaceful energy purposes and has flouted UN Security Council resolutions calling on it to stop enrichment.
One word: ISRAEL!!!!
Sanctions have so far not been sufficient to force Iran to stop, although the United States, along with other countries, has moved closer to direct negotiations with Iran.
One word: ISRAEL!!!!
The problem of climate change, Obama said, would be "one of my highest priorities" if elected president in November.
Both men agreed that Afghanistan is "a war we have to win," Obama said, vowing to send two more American brigades to fight the Taliban and Al Qaeda there. Sarkozy, who has already sent another 700 French combat troops, said that "we are not allowed to fail" in Afghanistan and let the Taliban again "prevent 6 million little girls from going to school."
--MORE--"
