Bloomberg News reports that the Obama administration will proceed with its plan to engage Iran and deal with re-elected President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The problem is, the mullahs and Ahmadinejad want to be engaged with the United States only so far as it serves their purpose of delaying as long as possible any action on the part of the US regarding their nuclear program. Once Iran has the bomb, of course, there will be no further need to pretend they welcome engagement with us or anyone else, except to formulate the terms of our surrender. If we’re going to get engaged to the lady, make sure it’s not a one way street, with us going the wrong way. My advice to President Obama is this:
To be engaged you need a ring
To put upon her finger
But just be sure she’s had her fling
And now she wants to linger
With you and only you my lad
And not with Mr. Putin
Or what is worse or just as bad
With someone high-falutin’
Like China’s big-time rulers now
Who seem to be so deft
And think it’s time we took a bow
And exited stage left
And just be sure she’s not a flirt
Just stringing you along
Before she throws you in the dirt
And sings a goodbye song
I see no good from this affair
No matter that she’s charming
I say to you just have a care
Some belles are quite alarming
