Obama rebuffed in his betrayal

Recently, we wondered what was the deal between Washington and Tehran. It transpired that the White House had asked the ayatollahs to direct their militias away from American targets in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop supplying weapons to the Taliban, and join America’s ‘anti-terrorist’ efforts. For its part, the White House offered the Iranians guarantees against a US attack.

Obama is stupid to expect Tehran to accept such an offer—which Ahmadinejad predictably refused. The Iranians simply do not fear the American attack anymore. The Iranians are not going to stop terrorist activity by Shiite militias in Iraq whose only reason for existence is violence, especially after the US crafted the illegitimate Iraqi government to deprive the Shiite majority of their controlling share. Likewise, Iran will not order the Iraqi Hezbollah to stop its attacks on Kuwait, which is building a major US Navy base. The Taliban is clearly coming back to power in Kabul, and Iran is not about to stop supporting them with weapons sales.

Easily enough, Obama excluded Israel from the negotiations. He went along with Iranian nuclear capability, which provides Syria and Lebanon with a defensive shield for conventional attacks on Israel.

Israel is not the only victim of Washington’s pro-Iranian shift. The White House unsuccessfully pressured Saudi Arabia to abandon its support of the Bahraini monarch so that the island can go democratic and fall into the Iranian sphere of influence while the US Navy base there will be moved to Kuwait.
