Or they will face  increased pressure and isolation, and deny opportunity to their own people,&#8221;  Obama said in his radio and Internet address Saturday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is like a young unmedicated schoolchild.<\/p>\n<p>Continued rhetoric without consequences, without punishment, has emboldened him. Just like a young child, repeatedly <em>told<\/em> &#8220;No&#8221; but without limits and punishment will turn into a spoiled maladjusted kid, Iran has given the rest of the world the bird.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the same party that let Osama Bin Laden slip through their fingers occupies Congress and the White House no doubt further stokes the fires of insanity; an opportunity to bully the other school kids while the Principal is on sabbatical.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy II recently informed Ahmadinejad he&#8217;s &#8220;breaking the rules&#8221; and later this week ratcheted up his teleprompter which in turn threatened Iran&#8217;s President with the dark storm clouds of &#8220;serious dialogue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chilling.<\/p>\n<p>Does that mean Michelle&#8217;s husband will have his publicist produce words with more syllables? That he&#8217;ll enlist<em> multiple<\/em> teleprompters? Employ a laser pointer or a PowerPoint presentation?<\/p>\n<p>Iran&#8217;s current leadership has been directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of many of our young men and women in Iraq, extending already excruciatingly long tours of duty for our brave young soldiers. Ahmadinejad represents a faction that resents Western freedoms and prosperity and will stop at nothing to destroy us to level the playing field and will not be bargained with or swayed by chit chat.<\/p>\n<p>They have threatened peaceful nations and have shown time and again that they are not to be trusted and at the same time hold their ostensibly peaceful citizens hostage while exposing them to future military retaliation. Every week that goes by they grow in their ability to wreak havoc across much of Europe &#8211; and that&#8217;s based on what we <em>know<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If I were President, that nuclear facility would be gone <em>today<\/em>. By lunch. On a Saturday. I&#8217;d make a call on the Batline and warn the weekend Janitor. The smoke would be clear by Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s called a cruise missile, Mr. President, and his ass, up put, should be one.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s a good thing, for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that I&#8217;m not President, and am armed only with a laptop whose battery has 19% charge left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because I&#8217;d probably be pretty dangerous in the White House&#8230;to our most conspicuous enemies.
