“The U.S. should be helping the Israelis deter Iran’s further nuclear advance by helping them to scare the Iranians into thinking that an attack is coming. Instead, the Obama administration is doing everything possible to telegraph to Iran that we’re terrified of a conflict and are doing everything to prevent it. That’s exactly the same as inviting the Iranians to continue their pursuit of nuclear weapons. If there is an explanation for this, other than incompetence, I would love to know it.”

From your linked article:

“The only thing that is going to stop the Iranians is the fear of a military attack. The U.S. should be helping the Israelis deter Iran’s further nuclear advance by helping them to scare the Iranians into thinking that an attack is coming. “

Better yet, put the fear of targeted assassinations into the heads of Iran’s current leadership. Offer them front of the line tickets to a fire sale of 72 virgins in “paradise”.

The explanation is quite simple. It's the same reason that the Obama regime supported every instance of the so-called "arab spring" revolutions EXCEPT one... When there was tremendous unrest in Iran, the US (and behind us, the rest of the Western World) the US SHOULD HAVE supported regime change in Iran. With the exception of the mullahs who run the government and the secret police who control Iran with an iron fist, Iran is a mostly secular, well educated, NON-ARAB country. But Obama knew that by leaving the mullahs in place, there will be plenty of state support for terrorism in the rest of the middle east. He also sees Iran's current leadership as the best hope for a sheite, anti-American caliphate in the middle east, which will also help rid the world of Israel, and in his dearest dreams, rid the world of Jews and Christians too.

Gen. Martin Dempsey is an absolutely ninny. How did we end up with wusses like this in the highest rank of the U.S. Military? AP is quoting him as saying, “Iran is a rational character” - yeah, the mullahs are rational! /sarc

Conspiracy mode:
Obama wants Israel to take care of Iran's nuclear problem. This will protect the US and the Sunni nations militarily. The US economy is doing worse than the regime will admitt, Teh Eurozone is crumbling only faster than China's housing bubble. The reverberations will hit us in the summer or fall and doom his re-election chances if nothing is done. However, if he can blame the problems on Iran and Netanyahu, he can try to avoid blame. He is re-elected, the world hates Jews, and the Sunni Islamist revolution goes unabetted as we help the Muslim Brotherhood take Syria and encircle Israel. Next stop Jordan.

But I'm not a conspiracy type.
