New McCain attack ad: “Tiny”

Well, there is an AP story claiming that McCain is distorting Obama’s position on Iran, but I believe Obama does not understand the threat Iran poses. There is absolute no way an American President should talk to Ahmadinejad. American politicians and diplomats should talk with Iran if there is regime change. There is a new J-Post report today stating that Grand Ayatollah Bajat Sanjani has called Ahmadinejad a “major threat”. The report states:
An Iranian cleric accused President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of betraying the people and called on reformers to unite to defeat him in next year’s elections, according to an interview in a German newspaper quoted by Reuters, Wednesday.
“Ahmadinejad is not complying with the will of the people,” The Financial Times Deutschland quoted Grand Ayatollah Bajat Sanjani as saying. “This is a major threat, a big danger,” the cleric added in an unusually direct personal attack.
The newspaper also said Sanjani accused Ahmadinejad’s government of breaking the law, seriously violating personal freedom and illegally empowering the Revolutionary Guard.
Ahmadinejad is expected to run for a second term in Iran’s next presidential election, slated to take place early in 2009. His reformist rivals are expected to attack him especially on his economic policies.
Iran suffers from a rising consumer price index, high percentage of unemployment and an inflation of 26 percent.
At least some of the Iranian people are growing tired of Ahmadinejad’s crap! But I am reminded of Ahmadinejad’s popularity, especially on “Death to America Day”, and he will command much of the popular vote. I wonder how long Grand Ayatollah Sanjani has to live.
UPDATE 1: Hot Air has the video and synopsis of Obama’s comments that are featured in John McCain’s ad.
Obama’s “tough-talk” diplomacy is reminiscent of Jimmy Carter’s diplomacy. Studying history, we know Carter never talked tough, and if (when) history proves right, Obama will not talk “tough” either. Obama is an appeaser, and a dangerous one at that. Iran funds and supplies terrorists in Iraq, as well as Hezb’Allah in Lebanon. Iran is also building nuclear weapons and threatens Israel’s destruction every week. Iran does not care for diplomacy. They want to extort money from America and our allies through fear. Most dangerous of all, Ahmadinejad may not care about Iranians at all and launch nuclear weapons at Israel, knowing full well Iran will be destroyed.
Can “tough talk” really stop that?
