Nicholas Sarkozy - Obama's Iran Policy "Utterly Immature"

From Haaretz.com:

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran, according to reports that have reached Israel's government.

Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as "utterly immature" and comprised of "formulations empty of all content."

Obama visited Paris in July, and the Iranian issue was at the heart of his meeting with Sarkozy. At a joint press conference afterward, Obama urged Iran to accept the West's proposal on its nuclear program, saying that Iran was creating a serious situation that endangered both Israel and the West.

According to the reports reaching Israel, Sarkozy told Obama at that meeting that if the new American president elected in November changed his country's policy toward Iran, that would be "very problematic."

Until now, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany have tried to maintain a united front on Iran. But according to the senior Israeli source, Sarkozy fears that Obama might "arrogantly" ignore the other members of this front and open a direct dialogue with Iran without preconditions.

The article goes on further to note:

The French intelligence community believes that Iran has already obtained about 40 percent of the enriched uranium it would need for its first bomb, and that at its current rate, it will obtain the rest of the uranium it needs in the spring or summer of 2009.

Could Obama's naivete be the opening Iran needs to present the "test" of Obama that Joe Biden has referred to? What could the test be? A mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv? A dirty bomb set off in New York, or Washington? If any of those things were to happen, would anyone
care, really, how well Obama performed under pressure, especially when we have an opportunity to elect a candidate who rogue nations wouldn't DARE to "test?"

Realistically, John Kennedy performed admirably during the Cuban Missile crisis, but it would never have happened if he hadn't been perceived as weak. Although is was a heroic moment for him, wouldn't the world have been better if we'd never had the crisis at all?
