Sarkozy mocks Obama at the UN Security Council
Big Government.com reports on French President Nicolas Sarkozy's takedown of President Obama in the United Nations Security Council on Thursday, a story that unsurprisingly is not being reported in the United States. Mr. Spillius reported a similar (albeit watered-down) version in the UK’s Telegraph.The United States is in good hands. What could go wrong?Obama: “We must never stop until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of the earth.”Sarkozy: “We live in the real world, not the virtual world. And the real world expects us to take decisions.”The rest of Sarkozy’s remarks were, well, remarkable:“President Obama dreams of a world without weapons … but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite.No American newspapers seem to have featured Sarkozy’s justifiably derisive remarks about Obama’s naivete regarding the realities of nuclear technology.
“Iran since 2005 has flouted five security council resolutions. North Korea has been defying council resolutions since 1993.
“I support the extended hand of the Americans, but what good has proposals for dialogue brought the international community? More uranium enrichment and declarations by the leaders of Iran to wipe a UN member state off the map,” he continued, referring to Israel.
The sharp-tongued French leader even implied that Mr Obama’s resolution 1887 had used up valuable diplomatic energy.
“If we have courage to impose sanctions together it will lend viability to our commitment to reduce our own weapons and to making a world without nuke weapons,” he said.
Mr Sarkozy has previously called the US president’s disarmament crusade “naive.”
