| Champ defending Iranian anti-Semitism to spin his nuclear deal |
| 2015-05-31 |
| [Bus Insider] It's not every day that you hear President Barack Obama explain away rank bigotry. But in a recent interview, he did just that. "The fact that you are anti-Semitic," Obama said of the Islamic Republic of Iran, "doesn't preclude you from being rational." A mindlessly flawed conclusion, albeit revealing, only our Champ could proffer. Joseph Goebbels winks and nods approvingly. Most subsequent commentary focused on whether the president actually understood anti-Semitism -- by definition, a marker of unreason. But Obama's comment also reveals the depth of his determination to partner with Iran. It also reveals the "depth" of his 20 year Jeremiah Wright indoctrination. Obama's comment caps a series of revealing statements and policies that put the lie to the White House claim that its Iran policy is designed to empower the moderates in Tehran. Ahg, the infamous moderates of Islam. Where art thou ? Let's begin in Iraq, where the administration has dropped all pretense when it comes to partnering with the Shiite militias that are effectively under the control of Iran. Just a month ago, during the operation to take the town of Tikrit, the administration was still seeking to maintain a public veneer, however thin, of avoiding coordination with the militias, declaring instead that it would work only with the Iraqi Security Forces. But now, following the fall of Ramadi, the administration has formally announced that it is willing to work with the militias in the campaign to retake the city. "The militias have a part to play in this," a Pentagon spokesman told reporters last week. Picking political winners and losers. 'Nation building' redux at 11:00. Don't change your channel. The White House's approach to Iraq mirrors its policy in Lebanon. This is not to say that the administration is cooperating directly with Hezbollah. But it is doing so indirectly -- by hiding behind the cover of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). The US has shared intelligence through LAF channels, knowing full well that the armed forces work closely with the group. Persistent reports from Lebanon suggest that the US is sharing real-time, operational intelligence with the LAF on the movement of Syrian fighters in the Arsal area. The US is aware of the high likelihood that such intelligence would be passed on to Hezbollah, to support its military campaign in eastern Lebanon and the Qalamoun hills. Information on troop movements and staging areas IVO Arsal appears to be vital. ISIS activities and assembly areas IVO Ramadi.... not so much. |
