| Obamaâs âSecret Iran Strategyâ Began in 2006 with Robert Gates |

| Over at Mosaic Magazine, former Bush aide Michael Doran claims that the Obama administration has had a secret strategy to engage Iran from the time it took office. Heâs right, but he neglected to mention that George W. Bush and his national security advisor, Condoleezza Rice, adopted the same strategy from the same source in November 2006, after the Republicans got crushed in the 2006 congressional elections. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld got a pink slip, Vice President Dick Cheney got benched, and ârealistâ Robert Gatesâthe co-chairman of the 2004 Council on Foreign Relations task force that advocated a deal with Iranâtook over at Defense. Michael Doran reports all of this, all, that is, except Gatesâ central role in the plan. That would place a good deal of the blame at Bushâs doorstep. ...the 2006 congressional report was a carbon copy of the Council on Foreign Relations report of 2004, written under the supervision of Gates and Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carterâs national security advisor. |

| #2 And yet another loud laugh is heard over GUAM-WESTPAC ... That's like saying that Osama + KSM only hatched the plan to attack the WTC in the late 1990's. Iff the FBI-CIA think they've researched everything on 9-11, I DON'T THINK SO, + I'M BEING POLITE WHEN I SAY THAT. |

| #1 McBama and the Weird Sisters–Iran-born Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, and Samantha Power–harbor a deep emotional antipathy to the United States, and a deep sympathy for anti-imperialist movements. They believe that the United States is a main instigator of the world’s evil. Not certain if the author draws the correct conclusions in ref to the Iraq Study Group, but he's spot on with his 'Weird Sisters' assessment. |
