Jimmy Carter’s advisor is not in a strong position to hold such arrogance. I lived through the Carter years and the embarassment was our government’s position in the world. The Soviets were in Afghanistan, Cubans in Angola, Nicaragua fell and Israel was our major enemy per Carter and Brzhinski.
No doubt this man’s career was a failure but his remarks about Israel give us a good idea on Obama’s evolving policy. The Democrats have concluded that a war with Iran is the most significant threat to Obama’s reelection chances. If it goes badly, (significant causalities, loss of ships or failure to achieve strategic goals), Obama will lose. Therefore Obama has been leaking information that Iran really has not decided to build nuclear weapons and behind the scenes is doing all they can to restrain Israel. Obama wants no part of a shooting war. The big question is will Bibi accept restraint?
Don’t forget that idiot giving up the Panama Canal.
