Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN and the world, decrying Iranian President Rouhani’s “charm offensive” as more deceit and stalling. This has been going on since the US and others first imposed sanctions on the Mullah’s regime, to get them to stop developing nuclear weapons in 1996 (in Bill Clinton’s first term!) Eighteen years of world protest and Iranian stalling!
Netanyahu demolished the Iranian claim that they are only planning “peaceful uses”; if so, he asked, why are they also building ICBM missiles capable of reaching New York?
In response, President Obama’s spokesman Jay Carney yesterday said:
“We believe that the Iranian leadership has very publicly…changed their approach to resolving this issue with the international community.”
The Iranian regime says it has changed; so our president believes them.
I am speechless.
