The American Dream
September 5, 2012
Barack Obama cares about Barack Obama far more than he does about
either Israel or Iran. And as far as Barack Obama is concerned,
delaying the coming war between Israel and Iran until after the election
is what is best for Barack Obama. Just think about it. If Israel
attacked Iran right now, who would that please? It would mostly please
hardcore Republicans, and they are not going to vote for Obama anyway.
To independents and liberals, Obama would look like a guy that couldn’t
stop war from happening in the Middle East. If the U.S. showed support
for the Israeli attack, that would greatly discourage his anti-war
supporters from going to the polls. If the U.S. did not show support
for the Israeli attack, Obama would potentially lose many of the Jewish
voters that he desperately needs in swing states such as Florida. A war
between Israel and Iran is a no-win situation for Obama right now, andas I wrote about yesterday, the Obama
administration has been trying to discourage Israel from attacking Iran
for weeks. Well, now it is being reported in major international news
sources that a deal has been reached between Obama and Israel. Obama is
going to publicly declare what the “red lines” are that will cause the
U.S. to strike Iran’s nuclear program, and the U.S. military is going to
send some of their most advanced bunker busting bombs to Israel. Those
bombs will come in very handy in getting at the Iranian nuclear
facilities that are hidden underground. In return, Israel has
apparently agreed to delay the attack on Iran until after the election.
So would Barack Obama really play politics with war in the Middle
East? Of course he would. Barack Obama is obsessed with winning a
second term and he would make a deal with just about anyone if it will
get him closer to his goal.
The Israelis really did not want to go ahead with an attack on Iran
without U.S. support anyway. They feel like time is running out to stop
Iran from becoming a nuclear power, but without the support of the
United States it would have been hard to justify an attack to the rest
of the world.
So in the end, it looks like both sides are going to get what they
want. At some point there will be an attack on Iran’s nuclear program,
and Obama gets it delayed until after the election.
According to Fox News,
Israeli officials have admitted that they have been involved in talks
with the Obama administration about Iran’s nuclear program….
