Peresian Pissantic Profile In Pusillanimity

I'm guessing this is what passes for lib sabre-rattling these days:

“[Iranian president Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad recruits forces against us, but there are also forces against him,” Israeli President Shimon Peres warned Sunday, according to a report in the Jerusalem Post.

“What happened in Egypt created a fierce opposition and we must unify all his opponents -- the Sunnis and the Europeans, as well as those afraid of nuclear weapons and terror,” the Israeli leader said.

Wow, looks like Bebe pumped some spine into Shimmi's spine....

Peres tempered his saber-rattling remarks by adding that he hoped President Barack Obama’s call for dialogue with Ahmadinejad would be heeded.

Oh, no, he reverted to base lib instinct....

More ominously, however, he advised that if such talks don’t soften the Iranian president’s approach, “we’ll strike him.”

Whoops, gotta listen to the people who put the right-wingers back in charge....

Peres hastened however to caution that Israel couldn’t carry out any strike against the Islamic republic without the U.S.

“We certainly cannot go it alone, without the U.S., and we definitely can’t go against the U.S. This would be unnecessary,” qualified Peres.

Aw, but he can't put patriotic loyalty to the PM ahead of worshipping Godbama!

I'm picturing the little angel (represented by Mr. Netanyahu) and the little devil (represented by False Messiah) sitting on either of Peres' sloping shoulders and whipsawing the poor schlemiel into schitzophenic, chiropractic catatonia.

Me, I'm just motion-nauseous.

Well, maybe it's the motion, and maybe it's the stomach-churning helplessness of knowing that the window of preventive opportunity has shut and history is now irretrievably destined to repeat itself:

Global terrorism and Middle Eastern expert Walid Phares tells Newsmax that within the next five years, the radical regime in Iran will have a missile capable of reaching North America.

Phares, who has conducted briefings at the U.S. State Department and the United Nations Security Council, also said Iran is definitely seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and will not hesitate to use them if they do....

“When the Obama administration devises a policy that says we need to reach out to the Iranian regime, without putting pressure on that regime by engaging with the actual Iranian opposition, the perception in Tehran is that the Obama administration will not use everything at its disposal to [apply] that pressure.

“Hence last week President Ahmadinejad declared that there is no more pressure to be made on Iran, and when that is the case obviously they are free to develop the weapons they want.”

If Iran does acquire nuclear weapons, will the regime actually use them, Martella asked.

“Regimes in the past that are totalitarian, including the neighbor of Iran, Saddam Hussein, have used missiles, have used weapons of mass destruction, have gassed their own population,” Phares declared. “The Iranian regime’s allies in Hezbollah have used missiles in their confrontation with Israel.

“The Iranian regime, which is ideological and radical, will use them when they think they can win the war.”

They don't "think" they can win the war; they think they already have.  And why wouldn't they?  President Bush was cowed from any pre-emptive showdown with the mullahgarchy.  Now Barack Obama has caved on what meager principles the Bushies were weak-kneedly standing.  Either that's pre-emptive surrender to Iranian nuclear weapons development, or that's a concurrent surrender to an existing atomic reality.  And the one power on Earth that possesses the military capability and desperate regained will to deal the mullahs a strategic setback is weathervaning itself like Linda Blair in The Exorcist, probably for fear that the Jews will have to fight a two-front war against Ahmadinejad AND Obama.

Hey, who said Red Barry wouldn't find a use for those F-22s?

While the Ayatollahs are waiting for their ICBM order from North Korea to be filled, there's always Hezbollah to deliver the nukes for them with "a human touch" as they have with conventional weapons on a number of overseas Israeli targets in the past; in a pinch, they could always bin Laden a jingle, and he's been long rumored to have a residence in Tehran.  And then there's the simple matter of enlisting their good friend Uncle Hugo to host Tehran's mid-range missiles to deliver their radioactive payloads from forwardly deployed and equally unexpected directions.

I guess it isn't quite history repeating itself.  Adolph Hitler stupidly let his rabid anti-Semitism deprive him of the ultimate weapon with which he could have brought the entire world to its knees before him.  The entire world, led by Barack Hussein Obama, is already on its knees before not just the mullahgarchy, but scraggly Jack Sparrow wannabes as well.  Accepting nuclear-enforced dhimmihood will be the gratuity.

For "President" Peres and his beleaguered people, the solution will be a bit more "final".
