Obama Steps Deeper into Infamy

I hear that the President made a large speech the other day in support of Cordoba House. He is truly a man on a mission to change America. The problem is that Americans disagree with him. 72% at last count oppose the idea of putting a new mosque at that close proximity to Ground Zero with a dedication scheduled for 9/11. 

There is other interesting news that the Port Authority of NY & NJ has denied a permit and refused to meet with the Greek Orthodox Church that was destroyed by the collapse of one of the buildings at Ground Zero. That adds insult to injury around this matter, and it was not mentioned by the president, whose intent to 'reach out' to the Muslim world makes no political sense whatsoever. It should be a job for the First Lady - that is if the Obama's had any advanced sense of decorum. 

I don't listen to the President, because I find his pragmatism to be wholly directed by expedience, and quite inferior to the level of rhetoric spewed by his predecessor, Bill Clinton. But this is an outrage that insults all of our intelligence and only goes to show his deafness. As it stands, his abstracts about the Muslim world are dashed upon the rocks of his failing policy with Iran's nuclear program, and I have little confidence that he will have any luck whatsoever the next time Israel has to show force. One must ask how it has happened that a President with troops on the ground in the Middle East can stand by a broken diplomacy when Hezbollah, the great enemy of the state of Israel have tripled the number of rockets the had since the last hot skirmish.

If you haven't read Jeffrey Goldberg's article in The Atlantic, I urge you to. It is a singular element of facts that should have been anticipated by anyone serious about the conditions of the Middle East and it boggles the mind to consider Obama's position. 

In a speech in June, Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, explained Middle East history this way: “Sixty years ago, by means of an artificial and false pretext, and by fabricating information and inventing stories, they gathered the filthiest, most criminal people, who only appear to be human, from all corners of the world. They organized and armed them, and provided them with media and military backing. Thus, they occupied the Palestinian lands, and displaced the Palestinian people.” The “invented story” is, of course, the Holocaust. Ahmadinejad’s efforts to deny the historical truth of the Holocaust have the endorsement of high officialdom: the Iranian foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, said in 2005, “The words of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the Holocaust and on Israel are not personal opinion, nor isolated statements, but they express the view of the government.”

Of course over here at Cobb, I've had an eye on Crazy A for quite some time. We had an interesting discussion of his invitation to Columbia. There, and elsewhere I've said that Crazy A is a first class holocaust denying sociopath. He is transparently hostile to the very existence of the state of Israel, and funding Hezbollah to subvert Lebanon. He has turned Iran into a state sponsor of false flag terror. We've all known this for a long time. Certainly before Obama promised him the most delicate diplomacy America is capable of. 

"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Obama gets a great deal of support from people who like to throw around terms like 'zionist' in a pejorative fashion. It also doesn't take many neurons rubbing together to know that Clinton is hardly the hawk that Rice was, although they are a lot closer than Bush is to Obama. It's simple. Obama's people want Iran to like us, just the way they like to invite Crazy A to Columbia so he can talk shit. It makes them feel magnanimous. Everybody on the Palestinian loving Left is thinking of ways they can jawbone America out of honoring any treaties we have with Israel, and we have two lethal conflicts to show those intentions clearly. They show it as a badge of honor to respect the 'dignity' of Hamas and Hezbollah, and spit on the Israelis. It stinks I say, it just smells to high heaven. I don't expect such moral midgets to give a rat's about inclusion of Iran into the nuclear club - I'm sure they are HOPING for an Iranian Mandela. There's the evidence of things unseen for you."

I cannot find this morning an 'Obama Gonna What' on Iran, or on his foreign policy in general. Maybe I was trying in the past few years to exercise some restraint. But he's just pathetic right now.
