French Officials: Obama Plans To Make Iran His Key Middle East Ally
dailycaller.com ^ | 3/31/15 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 03/31/2015 12:17:07 PM PDT by ColdOne

In a shocking accusation, French diplomats told Foreign Policy that they believe the Obama administration plans to replace Saudi Arabia with Iran as the central U.S. ally in the Middle East. (VIDEO: Reporter Grills State Department: Is United States Now A ‘Functional Ally Of Iran?’)

“Numerous French diplomats suspect that the United States… is on the verge of profoundly reshaping of [sic] its traditional alliance system in the Middle East,” reporters Joseph Bahout and Benjamin Haddad write, ”moving [to] a system where Iran replaces Saudi Arabia as the central pillar of regional stability.”

“The nuclear talks, French diplomats suspect, are just one part of a strategic rapprochement with Iran,” the piece continues. “Washington has practically sub-contracted the war against the Islamic State’s forces in Iraq to Iranian special forces and Tehran’s Iraqi militia proxies. The French view this as a potentially counter-productive move, one more part of Washington’s turn away from its Sunni allies and toward Tehran.”

This is really getting out of hand.

This man needs to be removed from office, I cannot believe that congress, both parties, are allowing this menace to humanity to advance.

If this is true, I wonder whether a military coup is unthinkable. Not promoting it, but wondering.

Not only is it really out of hand, but the press is probably not reporting it at all. Congressional Republicans are apparently fine with it.

All the more reason that Israel and Saudi Arabia need to attack Iran now, and not so much the nuclear sites, but a decapitation strike to eliminate the Iranian leadership and let the Iranian people replace their government. Also, the French need to block these sham negotiations, and it wouldn’t hurt if they could overcome their aversion to Israel and provide direct support to an attack co led by Saudi Arabia.

Maybe he prefers Iran, because he sees them as the most consistently right on America and Israel.

Yes of course, Death to America...

I dream of a President who would sit down with Israel and plan an attack to take out Iran’s nukes. That is the only negotiation that will be successful with an enemy pledged to our destruction.
I hope you are right and that Israel and the Saudis will act.

There is no doubt that Obama is an anti Zionist, views the world through the prism of perceived racism and has an affinity for Islam. The Israelis and the Saudis both have reason to fear a nuclear armed Iran and not trust Obama.

However it should be pointed out that the French represent Saudi interests. The Saudis purchase most of Frances grain exports to feed Egypt and themselves. They have invested heavily in prime French real estate and companies. They own a big part of the French national debt. Israel had no real influence at these “P5 + 1 “ negotiations. However if there is no deal the critical objections may have been made by the French on behalf of the Saudis. Historically the French have had a very pragmatic relationship with Islam dating back to the days of Suliaman and the Ottomans.

Let’s see. The whole middle east is joining forces against Iran’s influence and Osama wants to make Iran our best friend in the middle east. Sounds like him.

Who’s the greater supporter of terrorism around the globe?

Saudi Arabia.. Or Iran?

Tough call.

Is Obama a genius to go after the Wahhabians in their entirety?

Is this what passes for smart diplomacy in O’s mind?

Does he secretly wish to be an Ayatollah and have a captive audience he can profess his beliefs too?

Stay Tuned, Kiddies!
