Update to the Update: Qom Spells Doom: Schooled By France

Did you ever think we'd be getting lessons in power politics from the French? Well, under Barack Obama, that sad moment has in fact arrived.

The Wall Street Journal reports that French President Nicolas Sarzoky wanted to confront Iran at the U.N. last week, but it was President Obama who refused. A top administration official told the French they didn't want to spoil the image of Obama's success at the U.N.

I'm not kidding.

According to The Journal, President Sarzoky was so frustrated by Obama's spinelessness that he mocked him indirectly in his U.N. address saying, "We are right to talk about the future, but the present comes before the future, and the present includes two major nuclear crises... We live in the real world, not a virtual one."

I never thought I'd say this, Mr. President, but you should listen to the French.

Note: I owe French President Sarzoky an apology for my indictment of him along with Obama: President Sarzoky, I am sorry for calling into question your grasp of the situation. And yes, I agree with Sean, "I never thought I'd say this, Mr. President, but you should listen to the French." (Now I know WHY Sarzoky looked so uncomfortable sharing the stage with Obama at the joint news conference.)

To this I would add a quote from "The Lord of the Rings," by Strider, "Are you frightened?....Not nearly enough!"
