So many things to say... 1) I had to check the date on this, thinking they'd accidentally printed an old story, because this is like the 47th time Obama has made this threat--with no follow up. Is it any wonder Iran is ignoring it? 2) Then, in the same story, he turns around and offers to give N. Korea a whole bunch of shit as a reward for having nukes. What kind of crackhead diplomacy is that? If I were Iran, I'd be like "Um, no. I think I'll get nukes. Then instead of penalizing me, you'll give me all kinds of cool stuff. I mean, really. I think a halfway bright 9 year old could come up with better foreign policy than the Obama Administration has. We're boned.
Speaking of repercussions... All these threats of "severe repercussions" with no follow-up have had the result anyone with a 9 year-old would expect--Iran is calling us pussies.
