Sarkozy warns Iran it risks Israeli attack if Iran continues the process to obtain nuclear weapons.
“Iran is taking a major risk in continuing the process to obtain a military nuclear capacity,” Sarkozy told a meeting in Damascus with the leaders of Syria, Turkey and Qatar.
“One day, whatever the Israeli government, we could find one morning that Israel has struck,” Sarkozy added.
“The question is not whether it would be legitimate, whether it would be intelligent. What will we do at that moment? It would be a catastrophe. We must avoid that catastrophe,” Sarkozy told the meeting in comments broadcast on television.
As things pick up speed towards our election and a possible Obama presidency, what does Tehran’s future hold? Will Israel act? Or will they stay put and accept the possibility of Russia helping prop up an Iran being spanked by Obama’s ‘tuffer’ sanctions. If that doesn’t work Michelle’s husband is prepared to give them a good talking to. I know those guy’s in Iran fear that. I can’t help it, but every time I envision Obama negotiating with them I think of Jerry Mathers saying ‘Golly Wally, I sure hope Dad don’t holler at us!’ I know they are afraid of Barry.
Oh there is absolutely no reason for the Carla Bruni picture.
Eh, I still think Obama will be tougher than predicted. Don’t forget that a big part of his speech in Germany was that Europe had to play a bigger role with the US in fighting evil around the world. He’s not planning on being a dove.
If Obama wins, I predict one of his very first actions is a trip to Israel. And I don’t mean after taking office, I mean in November. Perhaps even accompanied by Condoleeza Rice. Hell, no matter who wins, I’ll make that prediction. The economy is where policy will happen, but this is the number one area for attention.

“Russia helping prop up an Iran being spanked by Obama’s ‘tuffer’ sanctions.”
Is it just me or has that whole relationship just been the epitome of stange bedfellows. Going back to the cold war/Iran Iraq war days where the atheist Soviets were supporting the Ayatolllah and his funamantalist Islamic regime. Guess it just goes to show how full of crap both sides are.
