Sarkozy Doesn't Believe in Rainbows and Unicorns

The French President clearly wasn't impressed by The One (from Don Surber):

The press of course played down the controversy, but after President Obama gave the Security Council his Kumbaya about a nuclear-free world, French President Sarkozy mocked him mercilessly.

From the National Post, President Sarkozy: “President Obama dreams of a world without weapons … but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite. 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.”

Then there was this exchange:

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.”

Our allies sense weakness at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Weakness in Washington endangers all.

And weakness in Washington is now official policy.
