Tuesday....International.....Red Flags

There is a theme arising among a number of commentators that the Obama administration has essentially accepted a nuclear Iran. This should not be a surprise, all of Hillary's rhetoric aside, for we have indeed temporarily turned a corner from being an ally of Israel to simply a mediator in the Middle-East. Everything in this administration is appearances. It's a movie being made in a make-believe world, an exhibit at the World's Fair that one travels in air-conditioning on a tram, viewing visual wonders of a new world only to depart the ride to steamy humidity and another exhibit. I read French President Nicolas Sarkozy's comment on Barack Obama after a meeting of the two presidents, President Obama, when he says something, keeps his word. His word is his bond, and that is so important. Is it possible that Sarkozy knows nothing that has transpired in American politics over the last few years? Word is filtering out that China and Russia may be on board with new United Nations sanctions on Iran. I see two possibilities here; one is that they will be even more time consuming, ineffective and the bomb issue may be a moot point by now anyway. The second is a question of what did we give to get China and Russia to get on board? This administration, this ascending political philosophy, has a plethora of gifts to offer that they consider useless anyway but of which America had previously considered essential to our well-being if not our survival. I've mentioned a number of times previous that if we make it to November (actually next January is the installation of a new Congress) without a major world conflagration, Obama's executive and legislative power will be derailed. Making it there is the difficult part. This administration's treatment of Israel will embolden their enemies. It is not a risky venture for even risk requires an intelligent plan and we are currently dealing with policy not written in white papers but as a script. Putin may choose to be one of the actors but as he found out again recently in the Moscow subway bombings, many not only call out fire in the theater but start them. This much seems apparent to me, we are in the midst of a government over extending its boundaries to the point of extreme alarm, and to exacerbate the situation, we may be dealing with symptoms of megalomania.
