"And if you do not, we will be very angry with you! And then we will send you a letter that says we are very angry with you."

To bad this country has abdicated leadership. It's up to you, now, Israel.

How did Iran do this?

umm, maybe because for the last 8 years we refused to have any type of talks with them.

Nice job George & Dick...please stop claiming you guys made the world safer...you had no idea what was going on in Iran.

Finally a President who approaches this problem by the rules instead of pounding his fist!

Neo Cons are going to have a lot of egg on their faces when Obama diffuses the Iran situation!

Good thing it is Obama saying it; if Bush said it and no one believed him we might have a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" scenario.

Really? Are you serious? OMG! I can't believe it.....I can't believe it..... What a pathetic president. I guess all the past presidents and people in Congress were all lying when they were saying that Iran was not cooperating. This man makes me sick!

Uh, oh. Iran is not playing nice. We better send them a strongly worded letter.

YOU THINK??? I guess that "We are the world," pep rally in Berlin during the campaign days, coupled with the many middle east trips to sooth your muslim "friends..." didn't pan out, huh? What we need is a president in the White House, not this "hope and change," infommerical comic.....

Obama has a keen insight into the obvious. Wow!

I'm looking for Iran must comply or else what? I don't see an or else anywhere. Hopefully that follows soon with serious teeth. Obama would not just leave it at a little talk that amounts to shaking his finger at Iran would he? Isreal won't, we know that. The US and others including hopefully Russia and China need to get real tough real fast and produce results in Iran or Isreal will strike on their own.

It's refreshing to hear some tough talk from the President. However after witnessing Iran's election fallout, he has got to understand that words are likely going to accomplish little.

I personally would like the President to call out Iran for what it's govt. is, godless, evil, cowardly and crazy.

The United States and the rest of the world must turn a blind eye and allow Israel once and for all to take out all Nuclear systems in Iran then there will be peace and rest in the Middle East.

I just hope Israel does something about it since all we will do is put up some nonsense sanctions that amount to nothing.

Mr. President , is that news to you because the world kows that already .
Stop sitting on the fence , take a stand and show some leadership.
Obama is emerging as one of the weakest Presidents , even surpassing Carter.

Yeah, they've been breaking them for years. Now they reveal a new "secret" enrichment facility. What's Obama gonna do about it? Probably give a speech where he mentions himself every 13 seconds...

If this were Bush people would be calling him a war mongerer. Iran is going down the same path as Iraq. However, Obama is doing the right thing just as Bush did in Iraq. Don't let Iran get the bomb, do WHATEVER it takes to stop them. You have my full support.

So when is our oh so great leader going to New Hampshire and calling them out??? Iran, as horrible as they can be, arent technically breaking the rules currently laid out. Granted thats mainly due to China and Russia refusing until now to not block our actions. But NH just proved again that Dems make rules that benefit them, not the greater good of people.

Say it ain't so BO !

Iran is small and inconsequential, right? You said that. What do you think now that they are close to making a nuclear bomb? Breaking the rules is too light, they are preparing for war while we are dismantling our weapons.

Sanctions on Iran will only work if Russia comes on board. Obama gave away long range missile defense to the Russians. Now let's see if we get anything in return or whether abandoning missile defense was just another Obama climbdown. .

What about Israel? Or are they special?

Mr. President there was a lotta tough talk from you about NK and Iran, but somehow Israel seemed to be forgotten.

So, the administration knew in the summer that Iran was building this facility and yet still ended missile defense for our East European allies?? Still invited to the 4th of July picnic? Still muted the response to Iranian election fraud? Obama should have confronted Iranian transgressions at the UN speech when the world was watching, instead of trotting out another USA apology speech. Apparently he is more concerned with his “bend over” negotiating legacy.
But Iran is just a “tiny country”, right? How’s all that “smart diplomacy” working out? So, Bush Was Right, after all? If Iran gets nukes the entire middle east will get nukes, including the suicidal and murdering crazy jihadists.

Ya think?

How long has Iran been putting us and the world off? 3-6months at a time for a decade. We threaten and we threaten for sanctions. Next will be N.Korea part deux with 'incentives'.

They're now a decade further along in developing nukes because leaders can't make a decision. DO SOMETHING. It's freakin Iran! It's not Russia or China. Iran... you know, one of the leaders of the stone age countries we call the middle east.

Apparently, Obama can do foriegn policy with his eyes closed.

"Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow," Obama said.

Way to go...Sherlock.

Iran knows a push over when we elect one.

So does Hugo.....and that crazy guy from Libya.

The facility, it has been learned, has been funded by Fox News...The Teabag Express...and the RNC....

Oh, sure, like Iran's going to care what we think!

This is why the nuclear ban is doomed to fail. We and our allies might disarm but our enemies certainly aren't going to, and then what?

Guess who calls the shots when one side has nukes and the other doesn't.

The ban is going to crumble under a deafening chorus of "We'll give up OUR nukes when THEY give up THEIR nukes!" and nothing else will ever come of it.

Even if they do take these concrete steps to prove that the nuclear program is for civilian use, can we really trust that there isn't some nuclear weapons developments going on?

And that's a startling revelation??

And Obama is breaking the rule here in the U.S. with his agenda for mandatory health insurance among other things. To require us to buy health insurance is unconstitutional but as we can see, Obama's disdain for the constitution compels him to not only disregard it but to propel us as quickly as he can into an irreversible state of free-falling into the abyss. All you who voted for him share the blame. Like Carter, he will be remembered for the damage he did to this country and to Israel, too.

President Obama is demonstrating the leadership expected when he was elected by an overwhelming percentage of Americans.

Rather then simply going at Iran alone, he has effectively, made significant progress in a very short time in not only gaining support from the World, to deal with Iran, but to also diminish the animosity towards the US in many parts of the world.

The time is NOW for ALL Americans, even evil Republicans Minions, to show support for our President, to do otherwise is unpatriotic.

Obama is just NOW realizing Iran is "breaking the rules" ?

So "W" decided to let Iran build a uranium enrichment facility under his watch. Another item for the Obama 'Things To Do' List.

Well Mr. President, you finally got something right. Iran has snubbed the World for too long. By the way, the correct answer your Ambassador to the U.N. should have given was "The United States will give no Uranium to Iran whatsoever". Not, "We will see what they bring to the table".

It's humiliating to have a president who is articulate and civil and doesn't walk like he just stepped off a seven hundred pound horse! Three and a half more years of Obamination and then we'll have our man, Cecil Z.F. Buck the Seventh, a man with a hand in every oil dike known to civilization. Drill, baby, drill!

Wait a minute, Obama. You ceded the moral high ground the other day. After all, who are we to tell other nations what to do, right? Didn't you just say that?

Well, sorry to distract you, now get back to writing a strongly worded letter. By the way, wouldn't it be nice to have some leverage with Russia to help, which we don't have because we dropped the missile shield plans?

Wow. Who would have thought that Iran would break the rules? I now, President Bush. This just proves that you cannot be friends with everyone. Some countries, mainly middle eastern Muslim ones, will always hate us. It is no use being friends with these savages. I guess Obambi needs to grow up and stop living in hippieville. I know his ego won't let him believe that not everyone likes or respects him, but come on Mr. president. Get your head out of your butt and wake up. Bring back Bush. We need someone with experience and someone that the Muslim countries fear. And for all of your liberal whiners that will flame Bush, leave My country now. You do nothing worth while other than complain and try to make it hard on the actual producers and workers in this country. If you are not going to contribute something other than your whining, then leave. You don't work, you are lazy, you want everything for free, and you are probably a criminal too. So get out. Losers.

Such harsh words Mr. Obama!

Not to worry, the thug extremist dictator of Iran who wants to accelerate the return of the prophet through the destruction of western civilization speaks well of Obama, as does Chavez, Castro and the rest of the enemies of freedom in this world. If the US will just roll over for these tyrants, all will be well. Anyone have a fiddle?

This is so AWESOME! Wow Obama finally comes to the realization that Iran is up to no good.

About time. Liberals have ZERO reasons now to sit down with Iran. Bomb their facilities, let's get this over with....

Lesson learned for Barack DIALOGUE DOES NOT WORK. Morons if you think otherwise.

This administration is completely infantile with respect to world affairs. They have zero clue what is going on and Clinton isn't doing squat on the world theater.

Get Cheney back in charge to get Iran under control.

Now the real question is this:

What will Obama do to keep a deliverable nuclear device out of the hands of radical Islamic fundamentalists?

Think of the damage inflicted on this country with maniacs and boxcutters on 9-11.

Time for Obama to end the "It's America's fault" goreign policy and provide some real leadership. My god, Khaddafi is even rattling his cage once again since I assume he knows the European Union is impotent and Obama doesn't have the stomach to do what needs to be done.

Without security there is no economic prosperity. One of the great leaders in the world in the past several decades, Anwar Sadat, of Egypt, understaood his country could not prosper without security – he made peace with Israel and paid fo rit with his life, taken by, you guessed it, radical Islamic fundamentalists.

Our world is full of nuclear weapons of all types. Each day we face the reality that at any moment some crazy can push a button and destroy us!

I do not care if its Iran or the U.K. My prayers is that eventually, some world leader will say ENOUGH to nuclear proliferation!

NO SANE leader will use their nukes, so why have them?! Rid the world of this insanity now!

Ohhh. Let's get the UN to strongly admonish them!

Not only that, but they are eagerly taking $500 billion away from their grandmother's health care – oh, no, wait, that would be us.

What – no apology for catching iran in a lie – obama is slipping. obama has no clue as to what to do in a world filled with lying evil dictators.

Come on who are we fooling....all talk and no action! Iran will keep pushing along and pay no attention to the international community. Muslims know our leader talks but has no action. Lets go ahead and list Iran as a nuclear country. Watch your back Israel.

Maybe he should apologize again, or maybe he should try talking to them again. that works. LOL!!!!

Wow, what a shocker. Imagine that, Iran is breaking rules. I guess Obama will have to give them a stern lecture.

Our, well spoken, idiot in cheif..

Mr. President, please do your job and protect me, my family, and all Americans and its allies by stepping up to the plate with a firm resolve to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. This is definitely more important than anything on your domestic agenda. You ignored the war on terror during your campaign but now it will soon be back to the forefront. This is your chance to prove to us that your loyalty and duty to protect us is more important than appeasing our enemies and being liked by the world community.. The time for talking with them is over. It is now time to face this rogue nation head on with leadership that unites the rest of the world for this cause. Godspeed to you sir and I pray you will do theright thing regarding this.

I guess this is Obama's line in the sand. Now we need to see what happens if Iran crosses the line. Will there be repurcutions or will they just draw another line?

I'm very interested to see how this will play out, insofar as how the President will handle international controversy. I know that he will have at least France standing by him along with possibly Germany. It is of interest to note that he is making the anouncement at the G-20 in front of all the world leaders. His stance on this violation will be put out there for all the leaders to hear simultaneously. This should at least reduce the timeframe of knowing where they all stand on this issue, and whether they'll stand with Barack or not.

So? Give Ahmedinijad a big hug. Shake Chavez's hands. Send a sheep to Gahdafi's tent..

You are nothing but a sheep in a lion's coat.

Castro knows it. Chavez knows it. Gahdafi knows it. Ahmedinijad knows it.

Americans are slowly getting it. But too late.

Obama is in way over his head, we have american boys being killed everyday in Afganistan because he just doesn't know what to do. Every time he says he needs more time, more amercians are killed. Now he wants to go after Iran for suspected weapons of mass destruction. You would think after thousands of speeches bashing president Bush on that topic that Obama would have learned something about claiming that a country has weapons of mass destruction. While Obama laughs it up on the David Letterman Show american boys are being killed.

Iran is quaking in fear..........

america is looking like iran the police are confronting protesters with billi-clubs and arrests and america criticise iran. -----------------------------------------–there are many nations in the g 20 with nuclear weapons we must not go to war because 1 more nation has these weapons..we must not give in to the right wing war mongers.

We better take their reactor out this country will kill millions of people
with this bomb and then say allah wanted them to do it .
I hope president obama won't get weak with them these people are truly scary!!!!

Unfortunately, I have little confidence Obama will do anything positive on this issue but talk,talk,talk.

Ya that should stop Iran... or holding Russia accountable with missile defense maybe??

Really.... I am shocked. I hope Obama lives up to his standards and tells them they have been really bad and we are not happy with them. And then apologize to them for the US in forcing them to pursue atomic weapons.

"Inconsistent with a peaceful nuclear program"?

Get over yourself President Obama. Lets be clear about this (as you are so fond of saying)... You appear to be weak, thoughtful, self-adoring, pandering, gently admonishing, etc..

Why don't you take these THUGS to the woodshed, instead of
rocking them to sleep with lullaby.

I do not like you very much sir.

so is the G-20 summit

"Children you are breaking the rules and we really wish you would stop. If you don't stop we are going to talk really stern and then we wont do one thing about it"

Thats alright – I'm sure Israel will end up doing something about it since they are the only country that still has a pair.

the U.N. is such a joke.

Having nuclear power for civilian reasons should never be stopped for any reason. But when a country is not only building a nuclear plant, but is also building a secret uranium enrichment facility that could not even hold the required amount of centrefuges and they hide it from the IAEA that means something suspicious is happening in Iran. I am affraid that the drums of war may just now be sounding.

Nuclear program for "civilian" use ??

Let me think about that one, for a moment.

Appeasement and kumbiya diplomacy once again proving to be a fabulous foreign policy. This week has been shameful. Allowing all of these nut case leaders to vent ON OUR SOIL is just inexcusable. Way to go Obama! YOUDAMAN!

What about Israel ? When have they declared publicly that they have a nuclear bomb ? Why two standards ?

Are you kidding me? This is news to him? What has Iran been doing for the last 5 years?

This is PROOF of how unprepared this guy is and was.

Half of the world is looking at us and wondering how we could have taken such a big step back. The other half is laughing.

Obama, please just keep your mouth shut at the G-20. You are embarrassing us.

And they appear to always breaking the rules- they apparently think like criminals. If we can't get them to change their way of thinking then what sanctions will be effective? Get Ready because here they [ the santions] come!!!!

Yawn... Yet another "discovery"!

This issue is extremely complex.
It is difficult for me to justify one nation's saying to another, "we have nuclear weapons, so you cannot have any." The implication is, "we know how to handle nuclear weapons safely, but you would not know how."
However, given the proximity of Iran to Israel, the USA must honestly consider its true utility in supporting Israel, which was not founded as an altruistic reaction to the Holocaustic as much as it was founded to secure a base in the region that separates the Arab states and prevents the formation of a single Arabic entity. Our access to oil must be protected.
Pondering the options open to Obama, one may ask, "what would George W. Bush do?"
What did JFK do about the missile crisis in Cuba?

Oh dear, Hillary, quick write a note telling Iran how displeased we are with them and that we will be taking "steps" to let them know. Perhaps dear leader can tell his friends and allies, Kaddafi, Chavez and Castro how displeased he is, since they all think so much of him.

I have searched for years for an understanding of exactly WHERE American politicians get off even participating in the nuclear debate–As the only country to ever have used nuclear weapons–on clearly civilian populations, not once, but TWICE in Japan..killing over 250,000 human beings within seconds, and affecting millions more to this day–someone please PLEASE tell me where america, as six percent of the worlds population, gets its authority, moral or legal, to impose its will on the other 94 per cent of mankind! And it is even more important now, now that that 94 percent of the rest of the world regards, not Iran, not North Korea, Not Iraq, not Afghanistan, not Russia..but the United States, with its history of using nuclear weapons--the only country in the world with THAT history–as the greatest threat to world peace.

I'm not going to succumb to the temptation to implicitly proclaim some expertise by asserting my opinion as fact. But, I do think that we should note just how poorly Bush managed this country. His administration painted us into a corner economically and with our foreign agenda. Yet, if you remember, Bush got re-elected on a campaign promise to bash gay marriage. Think about that. We ignored his factually incorrect assertions that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, and ignored his neglect of the Pakistan-Afghanistan problem. So now the American people have zero respect or trust in our executive leadership, having been mislead and burned so badly in the past. All I can hope is that the indicators that this President are moving us in another direction that includes engagement of the global community are in fact real.
Godspeed Mr. President.

So, it is not like this wimp of a president is going to do anything against his brother in arms...

Well, it looks like our intelligence is better now than when we claimed Iraq had WMDs.

Also, thanks to our FBI agents for great work keeping us safe!

Say please...........

Yeah, that should do it. Thanks Mr. President. I'm sure Iran is shaking in their boots as I type this. I don't know what we would have done without you. Too bad GW didn't think of that.

I guess when they drop a nuke in Israel you'll probably have to give them a time out or something.

I'm sure they'll close up all their nuclear facilities after hearing from Obama that they are breaking the rules....

I personally think that Barak Obama should not have to put up with nuclear threats. While Americans at home have to worry, Obama needs to do something about it soon.

Obama should stop lying. He is proving to be really no different than Bush on most international matters – e.g., detainee rights, drone attacks, and the NPT. Boy were we duped into thinking something would change. He is the great marketing campaign gone awry. And I even had limited hopes for change.
