Barack Obama – Dangerously Unprepared to Be President
Posted by Flap in Barack Obama, Iran, John McCain“Before I begin my prepared remarks, I want to respond briefly to a comment Senator Obama made yesterday about the threat posed to the United States by the Government of Iran. Senator Obama claimed that the threat Iran poses to our security is “tiny†compared to the threat once posed by the former Soviet Union. Obviously, Iran isn’t a superpower and doesn’t possess the military power the Soviet Union had. But that does not mean that the threat posed by Iran is insignificant. On the contrary, right now Iran provides some of the deadliest explosive devices used in Iraq to kill our soldiers. They are the chief sponsor of Shia extremists in Iraq, and terrorist organizations in the Middle East. And their President, who has called Israel a “stinking corpse,†has repeatedly made clear his government’s commitment to Israel’s destruction. Most worrying, Iran is intent on acquiring nuclear weapons. The biggest national security challenge the United States currently faces is keeping nuclear material out of the hands of terrorists. Should Iran acquire nuclear weapons, that danger would become very dire, indeed. They might not be a superpower, but the threat the Government of Iran poses is anything but “tiny.â€
Now, Jake Tapper over at ABC News says Team McCain is being dishonest and the ad is unfair. But, here is the You Tube video of what Obama actually said and let the reader be the judge.
The ad is accurate in the context of what Obama said.
The script of “TINY:”
ANNCR: Iran. Radical Islamic government. Known sponsors of terrorism.
Developing nuclear capabilities to “generate power†but threatening to eliminate Israel.
Obama says Iran is a “tiny†country, “doesn’t pose a serious threatâ€.
Terrorism, destroying Israel, those aren’t “serious threats�
Obama — dangerously unprepared to be president.
JOHN MCCAIN: I’m John McCain and I approved this message.
Note the new McCain theme: “dangerously unprepared to be President”
