Iranian nuclear bid could provoke attack: Sarkozy France's President Nicolas Sarkozy warned on Wednesday that Iran's alleged attempts to build long-range missiles and nuclear weapons could lead unnamed countries to launch a pre-emptive attack. "Its military nuclear and ballistic ambitions constitute a growing threat that may lead to a preventive attack against Iranian sites that would provoke a major crisis that France wants to avoid at all costs," he said. Sarkozy did not say which country might launch such a strike, but it has been reported that Israel -- perhaps with US support -- has considered bombing Iranian nuclear sites if it believes Tehran is close to building a weapon. The French leader placed the blame for the crisis on Iran, which insists it has no intention of building a nuclear weapon, and is merely enriching nuclear fuel for medicial research and a domestic atomic energy programme. "Iran refuses to negotiate seriously," he told an annual meeting of French diplomats. "Iran is carrying out new provocations in response to the challenge from the international community for it to provide a credible response." Sarkozy said France would work with its allies to build support for tougher international sanctions against Tehran's Islamist regime, in a bid to force it to back down over its enrichment programme. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.08e95fba9a75ed31e6c5e4213995533c.111&show_article=1 It appears that Obama is using NATO as the tip of the spear. Libya was first. Will Iran be next?? Remember: a war started by a Democrat is a good war by definition.....at least in the liberal media. _ _
So according to the OP, Republicans must support Iranian nuclear ambitions, or they wouldn't be against President Obama talking with Israel about a possible pre-emptive strike? This came as quite a surprise to me, because I had the impression that if the President was a Republican the OP would be all in favor of such an action. Is the problem the idea that a liberal Democrat President shouldn't ever behave like a conservative Republican President?
In which direction do the French point their own nuclear arsenal these days ? Hypocritical ********s.
"O" attacked Libya. I guess you could say NATO pulled Obama's strings like a puppet. Or, did Obama use NATO for cover? _
