Israel On The Brink – Obama Cowardice Knows No Bounds.

By: Skip MacLure (Diary)  |  March 3rd, 2010 at 12:35 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

In a truly cowardly about face, Barack Hussein Obama reversed his promise to Israel to drive for speedy sanctions against Iran with or without the UN Security Council. On March 2, Hillary Clinton said that “Security Council” action would take several months, leaving Israel strung high and dry… again.

Several disturbing factors are becoming apparent. Iran’s recent movement of some 4300 lbs. of low-enriched uranium to an above-ground facility may be, and probably is, a shell game. A 45 ton shipment of N. Korean yellowcake uranium destined for Syria’s nuclear plant, which was destroyed by the Israeli Air Force, has turned up in Iran. Obviously hidden from IAEA inspectors and unknown until revealed in a Japanese intelligence report, the only question remaining is how many other unknown caches there are.

The US military may have issues of its own. Syria, Lebanon and Qatar will be hosting Iranian troops in an apparent ratcheting up for possible hostilities with Israel. Qatar is home to the largest Air Force Base outside of the continental United States. If war comes to the region, which seems likely, having Iranian troops in-country and within striking distance of a strategic base of this importance would draw America into the shooting war whether we wanted to or not. Hopefully, Iran would think twice about attacking a US facility, but one of the hallmarks of the fanatical Iranian regime is its instability and unpredictability.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad summoned his Islamist and terrorist allies to Tehran to ‘finalize’ their military roles at the outbreak of hostilities. Ehud Barak, Israeli Defense Minister, in response to threats by the Iranian and Syrian presidents, said that he didn’t think that it would be possible to “slide toward 2011 without decisions”. He also stated that in the event of the outbreak of hostilities, Israel would go after the Lebanese government and infra-structure and “other sources of sponsorship”.

Obama’s cowardly reversal won’t cause this war. But his refusal to support our ally has certainly moved the Middle East war counter down. Meanwhile, Israel’s military high command has completed a five day command and communications exercise assuming an assault from four separate sources.

    Skip, fantastic write-up again.

    However, I have to differ with you on one thing: It’s not cowardice, it’s deliberate and that’s becoming more obvious by the day.

    Obama’s needing his approval ratings to go up. He wants a cataclysmic event like this to get the country behind him again. Remember how the Democrats envied George W. Bush when 9/11 happened and the country got behind him?

    ……… unless it’s Israel that moves first……. then he’ll (try to) bring the full weight of The USA down on Israel.

    And therein lies his crisis too good to waste…… He’d (try to) clamp down here as a result…..not wanting typical bitter God-clinging Americans to get out of line, or whatever nonsense the left will devise as a across the board text for their people and the media.

    There’s not even a slight pause in my thinking that’s going to be the case.

    Yes, I’m serious.

    …as the countries there come to the conclusioin that the U.S. administration wants only to avoid confrontation. We’re a parent that wants to curry favor with our children, refusing to deal with them when they act out, and so are fast becoming irrelevant to the shifting political alliances.

    Lebanon is fast becoming a Syrian satelite, which in turn is joining the Iranian hegemon.

    With Syrian and Iran perched on Iraq’s borders, they’re just waiting for the U.S. to clear out of the way before they go in.

    Turkey is rejecting its approach to joining the West and is going Islamist, also casting its lot in with Iran. God knows what will become of the Kurds.

    Israel, at some point, is going to decide that the U.S. is not simply untrustworthy but that they can no longer wait for a sensible administration to take charge, and at that point, things will boil over catastrophically.

    But from the Obama administration’s viewpoint, if they can keep things outwardly calm until the November elections, they don’t care what happens afterwards; they’ll have a free hand.

    Just another out-of-the-box thought….what if we and Israel had a little talk with our friends the Kurds. Offer to give them a big chunk of Iran, and part of Iraq to form Kurdistan. Kurds are more than a quarter of Iran anyway. In return, all we ask is that they overthrow the Iranian regime and destroy the nuclear program. The Kurds get to keep the oil.
    We can provide air support for them but no ground troops..
