It’s not working.  Charles Krauthammer posted an article at the Washington Post<\/a> on Friday regarding the Obama Administration’s declaration that it was moving to isolate Iran.  Let’s look at some facts.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Russia, Turkey and Iran held a security summit in Istanbul.  The growing relationship between Iran and Turkey, a NATO member, is disconcerting.  Last month there was a meeting in Tehran between Brazil, Turkey, and Iran.  That meeting resulted in the uranium transfer agreement that supposedly would end the need for sanctions against Iran because of its nuclear program.  Six weeks ago, Iran was elected to the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women.  (Another reason we should get out of the U.N. and ask it to leave America.)<\/p>\n

Mr. Krauthammer points out:<\/p>\n

\n

“Increasing isolation? In the past year alone, Ahmadinejad has been welcomed in Kabul, Istanbul, Copenhagen, Caracas, Brasilia, La Paz, Senegal, Gambia and Uganda. Today, he is in China. <\/em><\/p>\n

“Three Iran sanctions resolutions passed in the Bush years. They were all passed without a single “no” vote. But after 16 months of laboring to produce a mouse, Obama garnered only 12 votes for his sorry sanctions, with Lebanon abstaining and Turkey and Brazil voting against.” <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The headline in Wednesday’s Washington Post was, “U.S. alliance against Iran is showing new signs of vulnerability.”   I think we are seeing the results of electing an American President that the world views as weak.  There are billboards in various places around America with pictures of George W. Bush and the words, “Do you miss me yet?” printed on them.  Yes, President Bush, I do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
