His Position on Iran Is Naïve and Dangerous "Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us," Obama told an audience in May of this year.' The "tiny" country of Iran is providing many of the deadliest explosive devices used to kill U.S. soldiers. Iran is the chief sponsor of terrorist organizations in the Middle East. Iran's President calls Israel a "stinking corpse" 2 and is committed to Israel's destruction. Most concerning, Iran is intent on acquiring nuclear weapons. A year ago, Barack Obama said that he would meet personally, without preconditions, with leaders of Iran and other hostile nations to resolve differences with the United States.' Obama also opposes critical legislation labeling Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Pro-Israel Democrat Senators Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin and even Hillary Clinton all said, "yes." 4 Obama said, "no," 5 raising real questions about his judgment and experience. Obama has not shown the wisdom, experience or strength to stand up to the people who would do us harm.
