CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It surely wasnt taken out of context context, and he intended a moral equivalence, Ill read you what he said: In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and in eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of Ferguson. That is, you know, as George said, we have people who slit throats on television, take their heads off in some places, we have countries that invade their neighbors, more people incidentally have been killed in eastern Ukraine than died in the Gaza war, no one knows that, a lot of death. But on the other hand, we have a shooting in Missouri, still unresolved, nobodys been charged yet, and thus everybody ought to know. This is a continuation of the apology tour, or the confession tour which took place -- at least the one thing you can say about the improvement in Obamas treatment of his own country is that six years ago he went around the world talking about our sins, here he at least stayed home and did it from the podium of the United Nations. The other thing that was unremarkable about this speech was that this was the weakest statement ever issued on Iran and nukes. We no longer hear that Iran cannot possess nukes, were not going to allow this, this will not happen. He says were in negotiations, Iran has an opportunity to rejoin the community of nations, this can only happen if Iran takes this historic opportunity. In other words, Iran will decide if it wants to go nuclear, no threats, forget about saying everythings on the table. He doesnt even talk about sanctions, which are collapsing. This week a Chinese ship docked in an Iranian port so they could have joint naval exercises and they are still talking about how Iran is so isolated. This is a surrender on Iran as our negotiations are reaching a deadline within a month.
