Thinking the unthinkable about Obama's Middle East Policy
American Thinker ^ | April 11, 2015 | Lee DeCovnick

Posted on 04/11/2015 1:35:14 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

I am not generally given to doomsday fantasies, but I'm starting to get unnerved by where I see President Obama’s Middle East diplomacy taking us.

Now that Israel’s Prime Minster Bibi Netanyahu has been re-elected, with Obama’s knife is still firmly lodged in his back, we can reasonably expect the long anticipated Middle East regional wars to become a no-holds-barred slugfest.

Just to recap, we have the Saudis already bombing the hell out of the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Egyptians are bombing ISIS jihadists in Libya who slaughtered Coptic Christians. There are credible reports of Iranian troops massing near the Israeli lines in the Golan Heights. Thousands of suicidal Hamas fanatics, modern day troglodytes, are once again digging tunnels in Gaza and being re-armed by Iran. And Iran’s bootlicking spawn Hezb’allah, among the foremost virulent Jew haters on the planet, eagerly waits for orders to launch an estimated 40,000 well-entrenched surface-to-surface missiles into the Israeli population centers. Plus, Hamas desires Abbas’s untimely demise, and ISIS is out-tweeting Iran for bragging rights as the radical Islamic state most likely to restore a 9th century theocracy.

The Saudis most likely have already acquired a half a dozen or so tactical nuclear weapon as payment in kind for bankrolling the Pakistani nuclear development program. And conversely, it is reasonable to assume that Iran has also acquired a handful of tactical nuclear weapons from North Korea....

Good read

Some have speculated that Obama wants Iran to have nukes so that it and Israel will destroy each other, leaving the Sunnis as the only remaining regional power.

Not so long ago I would have wrote this Lee DeCovnick off as a crackpot and lunatic. Not so much now.

Either by incompetence or design, our community organizer
has created a Middle East power vacuum with truly dire
potential consequences.

It is all cause and effect. Plug in the causes—Obama’s treachery, the Republicans’ treachery (refusal to stop Obama), the emotional temperament of the Arab mind, the preoccupation with death of the Muslim religion, weapons of mass destruction in the hands of psychopaths, Israel’s vow to never again walk unarmed into a death camp, and fill in the effects—some type of nightmarish eruption. Anyone’s wildest guess could be close to the target.

If there is one Jew left alive in Israel on January 20, 2017, Obama will be kicking himself. In his post-Presidency, his main project will be killing all the remaining Jews.

Obama hates Jews, and Catholics, and other Christians.
