The Blessed Peace-Fakers
National Review ^ | August 16, 2015 | Kevin D. Williamson

What Obama is pursing in Iran and Cuba isn’t peace.....The list of countries designated by the United States as state sponsors of terrorism is a pretty exclusive club, a veritable Legion of Doom populated by the likes of North Korea and Syria. The Obama administration has, for reasons that seem to be mainly political, shown extraordinary solicitude toward two countries that were on the State Department’s list when he became president: Cuba and Iran. Cuba has been removed from the list — “Cuba meets the statutory criteria for rescission” was the State Department’s bloodless explanation — and John Kerry has been dispatched to Havana to raise the flag over a reopened U.S. embassy there. Cuba hasn’t lost its taste for terrorism — the Castro regime maintains ties with FARC terrorists in Colombia and ETA terrorists in Spain, among others — but its enthusiasm for such patronage has outlived most of its clients.

The left always seems to choose evil over good.

I greatly admire Kevin Williamson, but he seems to be making the mistaken assumption that President Obama desires peace. In my humble opinion, President Obama would love to see Israel and the United States defeated militarily. He did not move to make any acknowledgement of VJ Day, but practically sent in the entire DoJ to Ferguson MO.

Let’s say that Hillary and Obama overthrew the government of Libya and had Qadaffi killed so they could get his fortune.

What would happen if our enemies found out that Obama and Hillary did that?

Would they blackmail them?

Would they give that evidence to other enemies of The United States?

Would Hillary and Obama behave like a couple of cowardly, sneaky crooks and give our enemies everything they wanted?

In a heartbeat.
