It's showing major weakness on the part of the US - I'm surprised there aren't checks in place to prevent this sort of error in judgement.
Terrorism will never be defeated while he is in power. At least with Bush there was a chance and at least he was trying.

Hate just breeds more hate. He's not exactly saying to Iran to go ahead and build some nukes, he's just appeal for diplomacy rather than brinkmanship. There's a strong possibility Bush considered a use of force with Iran, which would just turn more of the Middle East against the US, resulting in more people being recruited into terrorist groups.
The US has an image problem, which terrorist groups are exploiting to recruit new members. With the way Obama comes across, it makes it that much harder for these groups to convince people in the Middle East that the US is the enemy.
