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.”

Cannot do that.
Almost makes one feel sorry for the poor bastards.
Even the French know what’s up.
Just like THIS. :)
I’ve researched whether Obama is Shia or Sunni, and really don’t know.
His stepfather Lolo Soetero was muslim from Indonesia. This is primarily Sunni, but could be Shia. According to Zero in his book, he said Lolo practiced some sort of watered-down Islam that permitted pagan animist practices.
Similarly unclear with Barack Obama Sr. Kenya is primarily Sunni, with a fair amount of Shia and mixed pagan religion. He’s a Luo tribesmen. He was apparently Anglican briefly as a child (due to schooling), but looks like he left that.
I’m going with “Non-denominational Muslim” that hates Saudi due to its cooperation with the USA.
Thank you Jimmah, you psychotic POS.
It’s what baby-eating lizard alien in human form Valerie Jarrett wants.
” I’m going with “Non-denominational Muslim” that hates Saudi due to its cooperation with the USA.”
If Obama forces the Saudis to spend billions in defense, they can easily spend 100 million to eliminate Obama : )
No wonder Obama drank 3 beers by 9:00 AM the other day.
Yes it does. When he said they were going to fundamentally transform America, I knew we were up a creek. He is utterly evil incarnate.
Makes perfect sense. Obama hates Israel. Saudi Arabia is supporting Israel. Therefore, Obama no longer wishes to support Saudi Arabia.
Within this context you can actually begin to see the outline of Obama’s plan being formed.
Congressional Republicans are apparently fine with it

They are nothing but a bunch of windbags and blowhards. They are OK with anything that allows them to ride the DC Gravy Train.
Iran is a Russian ally. The idea that Iran can be our key middle east ally, while it plans to annihilate us is absurd in the extreme
Hence, Obama embraces it.
The real irony is that the Shah was the ONLY dictator that Carter has ever seemed to have a problem with.
” The real irony is that the Shah was the ONLY dictator that Carter has ever seemed to have a problem with. “
Like all psycho-leftists, Carter loved evil, and trashed goodness. He loved Ortega, who murdered a close friend’s 2 sisters, father and twin brother. My friend was lucky. He was merely tortured for 10 years, and a friend of Reagan helped him to escape prison by a cash bribe.
Lots of incredibly absurd things have happened during the Obama presidency. Nothing would surprise me. In the next two years there could be even more breathtaking abuses of power, violations of the constitution, and unilateral deal making with our adversaries. He’s just getting started. And why not? From his perspective, who is going to stop him?
