The President yesterday denounced the "extent of the fraud" and the "shocking" and "brutal" response of the Iranian regime to public demonstrations in Tehran these past four days.
"These elections are an atrocity," he said. "If [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad had made such progress since the last elections, if he won two-thirds of the vote, why such violence?" The statement named the regime as the cause of the outrage in Iran and, without meddling or picking favorites, stood up for Iranian democracy.
The President who spoke those words was France's Nicolas Sarkozy.
Wow.
The Wall Street Journal nails Obama to the wall in this editorial.
This is the missed opportunity that will haunt Obama and the world. If Obama had the balls to act on what he talked about in Cairo last week, he could have claimed the change in Iran, was the change that the world has waited for.
But alas, they were just words. Obama has no plan. No flexabilty. No confidence in his abilities. Obama is just a weak amateur, in over his head.
Thank God for the French! Sweet Lord...
