Hussein: Iran Not A “Serious Threat”? With Video
What a fucking idiot Obama is. John McCain didn’t hesitate to say that in Hussein’s home town today, watch that video here.

Obama Tells 75,000 Oregonians Iran is “not a threat” to US
Rick Moran
Note to Obama: Your mask is slipping.
Barack Obama has tried his best to conceal the fact that underneath all the soothing rhetoric about “change” and being a new kind of politican, he is nothing but a 1960’s style liberal with some incredibly naive views about American foreign policy.
Yesterday in front of 75,000 adoring fans, Obama really let his inner liberal take over and made one of the most outrageously stupid comment of the campaign to date. If the GOP were smart, they would take this comment and run it from now until November.
Jennifer Rubin at Commentary:
This remarkable bit of footage from Barack Obama’s appearance in Oregon last night is now floating around on YouTube. It might be useful as an undergraduate course exam: how many errors can you spot? Obama apparently believes that Iran and other rogues states (he lists Iran, Cuba and Venezuela) “don’t pose a serious threat to the U.S.” Iran, specifically, he tells us spends so little on defense relative to us that if Iran “tried to pose a serious threat to us they wouldn’t . . . they wouldn’t stand a chance.”
So, taken literally, he seems not much concerned about Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons, its sponsorship of terrorist organizations, its commitment to eradicate Israel, its current actions in supplying weapons that have killed hundreds of Americans in Iraq, and its role in eroding Lebanon’s sovereignty through its client Hezbollah.
Video:
Echoes of the ’60’s to be sure. At that time, even the Soviets weren”t considered a threat because they would never start a war due to their losing 20 million in World War II. Of course, it is never brought up that the Soviets were perfectly willing to assist Hitler in starting the war by making a secret pact with the Nazi dictator that carved up Poland and deliniated spheres of influence for the two powers.
And we know now that the period from 1983-85, Soviet leaders were actively contemplating a first strike against the United States before our conventional military build up was complete.
So it should come as no surprise that Obama - a man whose associations with 1960’s radicals is documented and who has immersed himself in liberal dogma his entire adult life - should come out and say something so ridiculous that it is going to cost him considerably at the polls.
How many more gaffes like this does the candidate have in him? Let’s hope there are several between now and the election.
Ed Lasky adds:
Going beyond Jennifer Rubin’s valuable comments about Barack Obam’s benign view of Iran, why are we just hearing these views said so explicitly now? Could it be that Barack Obama, on the cusp of securing the Democratic Party nomination, no longer has to cover his true views?
Furthermore, there has been a spate of articles the last week speculating that he feels secure in being able to capture enough of the Jewish vote (whcih is not necessarily pro-Israel) in key states that he feels he can dismiss concerns about Iran and Israel. How does that relate to his early supporters who all but shilled for him regarding his “love for Israel”, the steadfastness of his support for the nation? Will he be as dismissive towards them going forward as he has been towards Israel?
He seems all but ready to ignore the entire region-including regional allies-whose views towards America may be less than perfect but whose cooperation going forward will depend on their feelings that America will be alert to the threat posed by Iran and form in resisting, if not rolling back, Iranian imperialism run amok. Beyond these concerns, his naivete is remarkable. Pollyanish attitudes are perilous for a President to have; Hope is not a foreign policy. It is a Hallmark Card sentiment and a campaign slogan.
Rich Baehr agrees that “this is exactly what is going on- he has won,and is now basking in the love of his partisans on the left, who have won control of the Democratic Party.”
If so, it will be interesting to see how the press plays this dramatic shift leftward.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

this guy has his head lodged right in his ass! Iran wouldnt stand a chance because of low military spending? tell that to our brave troops in Iraq you dummy. history has always proved that guerilla war doesnt take high military spending but they can sure cause alot of damage. A small nuke handoff to an unknown member of Hezbollah maybe?
this guy has nothing but a ham sandwich in his briefcase i swear

THIS NEO MARXIST HAD A FREUDIAN SLIP,
LOOSE LIPS MAY SINK HIS SHIP,
BACK INTO THE BOTTLE HE CAN’T PUT THIS GENIE.
This guy is seriously delusional about the Cold War too. Fucker thinks that we took preventive measures to prevent a nuclear war. Listen the only “preventive” measure was that if they crossed that line they would have been completely obliterated. As it is, The Soviets never announced that they’d take over Europe. They never called for WWIII, they never built bombs to kill Americans. IT’S COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT OBAMA!!! THE COLD WAR IS DONE. I KNOW YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT FROM RADICAL ISLAMISTS CONSIDERING YOU ARE ONE, BUT THE REST OF US AREN’T!
May 19th, 2008 at 9:23 amIf NObama were a serious candidate, he’d understand that iran is in fact a serious threat…
…NObama is not a serious candidate.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:27 amBARRY IS A DHIMWHIT OH-DE-DOO-DA-DAY!
May 19th, 2008 at 9:41 amObama is an idiot, who will lead the idiots who vote for him into a worse situation than we are in. And the rest of us who know the difference have to suffer his follies and delussions.
You cannot appease and make deals with evil. Does not the Koran even show this and also how Mohamadasswipe deals with those who he sought to destroy?
Fools sho do not learn from history will repeat it.
May 19th, 2008 at 10:59 amObama is a hater.
That is why he went to the church he did and stayed.
A man shall be known by the company he keeps.
May 19th, 2008 at 11:02 amObama is Jimmy Carter Redux. He’s just going to try all of Jimmy’s policies again. The 60’s liberals who were disrupted in 1980 when Reagan was elected just want to pick up where they left off, with their wonderful policies. He’ll probably make Dennis Kuncinich “Minister of Peace,” and William Ayers “Minister of Social Change.” People like Zbignew Brzinski, who advised Carter to let the Ayatollah return to Iran and set up a theocracy and who presided over the Iranian “hostage crisis”, now advise Obama. Obama wants a “windfall profits tax,” guess who invented it: Carter.
