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 a deal made by Valerie Jarrett to implement some of Obama’s ‘change’. Looking back the US should have let Iran and Iraq fight it out. Of course the US would have been looking to drill for more oil and/but there were to many persons in the US interested in keeping all the Muslim empires selling the US oil.

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

Here or in Iran?

“PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS AN ‘ONION JOKE’ PIECE, SO I CAN GO BACK TO SLEEP PEACEFULLY!”

It’s only a joke. You have been sleeping all this time. However, while you slept a few of things happened.

1. Cubs won world series
2. US won 2016 Olympic games in Chicago
3. Hillary Clinton was indicted, convicted and frogged marched
4. The new President is a Islamomarxist,white hating anti-semite who gave Iran the go ahead to build a nuclear weapon.

Ok, everything except 4 was a joke.

A month or so ago, Susan Rice openly stated that Iran is the Obama Administration's primary strategic partner in the Middle East.

No, quite frankly I expect the media of this country to say allah willing.

I am watching my country become utterly Evil, and there doesn’t seem to be a damn thing that I can do about it ;/

Shouldn’t the headline read “Jarrett Plans To Make Iran Her Key Middle East Ally”?

how does a country move in 10 years time from one President calling Iran part of the axis of evil to another President considering Iran to be an ally?

Because an Evil man is the captain of this ship, and no one has the mettle to stand against him.

He’s Evil, and we are soft, and that is a recipe for disaster.

Even if there was no Israel, this would be stupid. Going against the Sunnis (90% of the Arabs) and favoring the terrorist Shi’a Persians. Nuts, very nuts.

And if we ever get a constitution-respecting President in office and a right thinking Attorney General, I hope they ALL face prison time for their treason against this country.

Does this piece of maoist crap think he'll be president forever?

No, but I am fairly certain that he's pretty certain he's got a nice seat in whatever comes after he completes the mission of final destruction of the US.

It is surprising to me that these French officials should even care. They sure haven’t been Israel’s best allies.

One would wonder who they have always thought their best Middle-East ally was. It certainly wasn’t Israel.

It would seem more like the Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza were.

The French always seem to get it so wrong.

Now they take notice because Obama seems to be drifting their direction?

“It would seem more like the Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza were.

But if you talk to a Parisian, they will tell you how superior they are.

New Yorkers have a lot in common with them : )
