Waste of a Summit

"Really, we do care...seriously."

Writing for National Review Online, Mona Charen comments on the utterly useless and arrogant "nuclear security summit" hosted by Obama. In short, it accomplished nothing beyond peddling its own delusional perception of reality.

The administration assembled an elaborate tableau to feign progress on nuclear proliferation while patently failing to grapple with the most obvious, ominous, and imminent threat — Iran.

Let’s assume that President Obama was sincere when he described a nuke in the hands of a terrorist as the greatest threat facing the United States. How does he imagine that threat might materialize? Participants in the “nuclear security summit” blathered on about securing nuclear materials and monitoring uranium and plutonium supplies. That’s nice. But the likeliest route for a terrorist to obtain a nuclear bomb would be for a nuclear-armed Iran simply to hand it over. And Iran is enriching its own uranium. That’s what all those centrifuges at Natanz and elsewhere are spinning away at.
