OBAMA WANTS TO DISARM THE USA - UNILATERALLY - SO ONLY THE TERRORISTS HAVE NUKES



Krauthammer responds: "Obama cited Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman as presidents who met with enemies. Does he know no history?

Neither Roosevelt nor Truman ever met with any leaders of the Axis powers.

Obama cites John Kennedy meeting Nikita Khruschev as another example of what he wants to emulate. Really?

The Vienna summit of a young, inexperienced, untested American president was disastrous, emboldening Khruschev to push Kennedy on Berlin -- and then nearly fatally in Cuba, leading directly to the Cuban missile crisis.

Is that the precedent Obama aspires to follow?

A meeting with Ahmadinejad would not just strengthen and vindicate him at home, it would instantly and powerfully ease the mullah's isolation, inviting other world leaders to follow.

What concessions does Obama imagine Ahmadinejad will make to him on Iran's nuclear program?

And what new concessions will Obama offer? To abandon Lebanon? To recognize Hamas? Or perhaps to squeeze Israel?

Obama keeps trying to explain.

In Oregon he declared that by Soviet standards Iran and others "don't pose a serious threat to us." On the contrary, Islamic Iran is dangerously apocalyptic. Soviet Russia was not.

The next day in Montana he said, "I've made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave." THE VERY NEXT DAY, mind you."

We may be entering a new phase in the history of the American presidency: Remedial on-the-job learning.
