Is Obama Iran’s Means to Israel’s End?
Dr. Robin McFee / Family Security Matters
“It may be true that you can’t fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.”
Will Durant
Never have I seen a political leader pander so shamelessly to an aggressor, like Obama to Iran, since reading the history books talk about Neville Chamberlain.
Diplomacy almost always favors the aggressor, the morally weak, but rarely the strong and righteous, since it buys time and delays action. And diplomacy without consequences is madness. In times past the United States sat at the negotiating table with a simple message to the folks on the opposite side … “sign here!” Easy to do when you are willing to win, drive a hard bargain, and hold most of the cards. That’s the goal isn’t it?
Yet the US and the West have squandered our advantage in the current comedy of errors otherwise referred to as the Obama – Kerry diplomatic follies being held in Switzerland. The US has allowed Iran to call the shots when their behaviors commend them to sit in the corner while Western allies ought to be dictating terms. The US should be imposing more sanctions, bringing Iran to its knees, and forcing them to the negotiating table as a broken, bloodied, defeated enterprise, begging for a deal, willing to abandon their nukes, their missiles, their proxy attacks on Israel, and even their carpets in exchange for economic assistance. Instead we allow them to continue waging proxy war throughout the Middle East, continue with their military research, oh and have centrifuges – enough to produce a weapon, but not enough to support an energy producing reactor. Think about it – the West has expended millions of dollars, and hundreds of hours to negotiate Iran away from nuclear weapons by allowing them the means to produce nuclear weapons material. Only in Obamaland does this make sense! And as I’ve written in prior articles for FSM, including a three part series in 2009 revealing the advances Iran had already made in their weapons program, some unacknowledged by the US, but later supported by reports from think tanks.
Sometimes negotiations are conducted by morons unable to obtain an equitable agreement. I wish Obama was in that category. It would be more morally acceptable than the recognition he willingly is entering a bad deal for personal gain under the guise of world peace, when there is no chance on earth this deal will make the world more peaceful or safe.
In every negotiation there are winners and losers. Obama only cares about Obama, so the end game of this entire theatre of the absurd is his legacy, his Nixon to China moment. And if Obama has to sacrifice my safety and yours, our allies, our future at the hands of lawless people who attacked a sovereign embassy in 1979 (ours) and sponsor bloodshed in the Middle East, to have his magic moment, he will do so.
One has to ask why are we rushing into this as if the hounds of Hades are chasing Obama and Kerry? That’s an easy one – get the chess pieces in place before Congress has the momentum to interfere, and a new President, likely a Republican, can derail it. Obama needs his moment. He also has to position himself for world order adulation and do a bit more tinkering with the balance of power in the Middle East. Trump card – he needs to actually have his Camp David moment. It is not enough for Obama to parade around a deal with Iran. He must allow a problem to occur, in order to save the day. Perhaps he read the fine print on his Peace Prize – at some point you actually have to do something that leads to peace. Good luck with that Barry.
