Just speculation…
Obama moving troops to Israel offsets criticism that he’s not supporting them. Contemporaneously, this and other acts heighten tensions with Iran intentionally, which serves Obama as the Republican candidates will frenzy to out posture each other with ever tougher stances on Iran. Thereby, Obama looks to be the moderate in-between Ron Paul and the Republican field.
It’s awful that we have to wonder whether anything this guy does is out of loyalty to America or our allies, or whether it’s just some sick ploy to get votes or power, to give Islamists more power while weakening America and our allies, or to provoke a crisis so he can declare martial law and finally have his communist-Islamist takeover of America.
That’s why the Constitution requires a natural born US citizen to be the commander-in-chief. We need to know whose team our supposed “leader” is even on.
