Posted at 9:50am on May 19, 2008 Barack Obama is Either Stupid or Willfully Ignorant

By Erick

There is no other way to look at this statement:

"Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us . . . . Iran, they spend 1/100th of what we spend on the military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance."

That picture is from the Beirut Airport. It's smoke rising from the Marine barracks. 241 American servicemen were killed. Sixty Americans were injured. 58 French paratroopers were killed with 15 injured.

The attack was carried out by Hezbollah, with Iranian backing.

And Iran survives.

Barack Obama is stupid or willfully ignorant. Iran will never attack us directly. They cannot. But they will attack us with a thousand cuts through many shadowy surrogates hoping we bleed to death.

And if Obama is our President, we probably will.

Be sure to read Jenn Rubin too.

UPDATE: You're going to want to read Jim Geraghty too.
