Netanyahu won the election in Israel but now what? Remember, Obama sent personnel and monetary support to Netanyahu’s opponent, Mr. Herzog and it just didn’t work out the way he had hoped - with a Netanyahu defeat. (see article here: http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2015/03/18/netanyahu-to-remain-in-office-despite-obama-linked-efforts/)
Why would an American President
send personnel and money to the opponent of Netanyahu? Maybe because Obama sees Netanyahu as a
hindrance to the changes he would like to see in the Middle East. Perhaps Obama
holds similar views as several leaders in that region do about Israel and what
should be done regarding Israel.
Netanyahu is committed
to the security and defense of his country which is surrounded by countries
that are hostile to it and some like Iran have said they want to wipe Israel
off the map. Netanyahu’s political opponents do not seem to hold such strong
views with regard to defense and security.
Then there’s the World
Net Daily story where a spokesperson for the Palestinian Authority’s Fatah
Party had credible information regarding a move by the Obama Administration to
ascertain the viability of getting a U.N. resolution, backed by the Security
Council, which would revisit the creation of a Palestinian state. (see
article here: http://www.wnd.com/2015/03/palestinians-confirm-u-s-studying-abandoning-israel-at-u-n/)
Also, we must not
forget the little, teeny-tiny problem of Iran and their centrifuges that are
supposedly to be used for “energy” but could also be weaponized and used as a
nuclear bomb. Obama isn’t rushing to stop them and appears to be stalling or
worse in order to give them time to develop a lethal nuke. (see article here: https://hotair.com/archives/2015/03/19/ap-confirms-u-s-nuke-deal-to-allow-iran-6000-centrifuges-for-continued-uranium-enrichment/) and here: (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/4c7ad2158ed944579dc1e7ed6c550899/ap-exclusive-iran-limited-6k-centrifuges-draft-accord)
and here (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/03/26/us-may-let-tehran-run-hundreds-centrifuges-at-once-secret-underground-bunker/?intcmp=latestnews)
Sane people who are paying attention are
wondering, “Will any trustworthy entity be inspecting Iran’s facilities to see
if they are telling the truth about using the centrifuges ONLY for energy?”
Then think about what
Iran has stated publicly about wanting to wipe Israel off the map and referring
to America as the great satan and Israel as the little satan.
To all of the
aforementioned one should add the following:
Over the years some people have espoused the idea that Iran would like
to set off a nuclear device so that America’s power grid would be destroyed by
an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). This
idea has been confirmed by officials in the U.S. when a secret Iranian handbook
used by their military was translated by U.S. defense analysts. In the handbook
top Iranian military officials gave their approval for this type of action
against the U.S. (read article here: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/iran-endorses-nuclear-emp-attack-on-u.s./article/2561733
)
Given these simple
examples above that have been gleaned from the news let us “connect the dots”
before something happens as did on September 11th. Israel’s people have to face attacks all the
time while the U.S. has not had to do the same, yet.
Letting Iran continue
with nuclear activity as shown by recent news stories is imprudent and more,
but most important, it endangers the lives of people not only in Israel but the
United States and any others who would raise the ire of Iran.
Thomas Sowell said it
best in a recent article when he remembered that Winston Churchill was laughed
at and ignored for trying to warn the British about how dangerous Hitler was.
So when Netanyahu spoke to a joint session of Congress to warn us about the
dangers of a nuclear armed Iran, the Administration basically turned a deaf ear
to him.
In the article Sowell
pointed out that a State Department official from the Obama Administration actually
believed we have remained safe from nuclear attack due to the various treaties
and laws we have entered into rather than the deterrent effect that our nuclear
arsenal has on those who may want to nuke us.
Sowell was spot on when he pointed out that “(i)f ‘treaties, laws and agreements’ produced
peace, there would never have been a Second World War. The years leading up to
that monumental catastrophe were filled with international treaties and arms
control agreements.” (read
article here: http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell031715.php3)So it seems we are taking the same path that prior peaceniks and disarmament advocates have taken, only the Obama Administration has added a new twist which is to stand back and do nothing while the world burns, and while we’re at it, give Iran nuclear weapon capability too.
I only hope that someone in our government connects the dots this time but before it’s too late.
