Is President Obama planning to bomb Iran?

  Is President Obama planning to bomb Iran?

That is a question that I would normally find laughable. Imagine the Nobel Peace Prize winning president, the president that has bowed to kings and apologized for the past evils of America, the president that has sucked up to Chavez, and Castro, the president that has made political overtures to Iran and North Korea, actually preparing to bomb Iran, or for that matter, North Korea.

  It is a ludicrous thought, isn’t it? Yet as I write this the Pentagon is speeding up production of the bunker-busting bomb. This is a bomb that is designed to destroy underground weapon facilities such as those located in Iran and North Korea. The Pentagon wants to have the bombs ready to be loaded onto B-2 bombers by next Summer.

  Why the rush? The Pentagon denies that this is in response to Iran admitting that they have a second secret underground nuclear facility.

I don’t think anybody can divine potential targets,” Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said. “This is just a  pre=”a “>capability that we think is necessary given the world we live in

  It is necessary in the world we live in? That world is a world in which Iran and North Korea are trying to acquire nuclear weapons. This certainly seems to be in response to the recent admission from Iran.

  So I ask the question again, is President Obama planning to bomb Iran? We all know that the answer still is a resounding no. So why the hurry to build the bunker-busting bombs? It appears to me to be a show of strength by the Obama administration. He is trying to show his tough side with Iran, he is trying to show Iran that ne means business and that he is willing to resort to force if negotiations or sanctions fail.

  The final question is, will Iran believe that the president is willing to use force against them? Again, the answer is no. Ahmadinejad is laughing at the president, the world is laughing at the president. Nobody on the world stage believes that President Obama will even seriously consider bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities.

  When push comes to shove President Obama will back down from this show of strength and Ahmadinejad will retain the upper hand.
