Has Obama Inadvertently Brokered a Middle East Alliance

Back in 2013 the London’s Sunday Times reported that “Israel and Saudi Arabia were working together to bring down Iran’s nuclear activities.’ Clearly, having a mutual interest in stopping the threat of a hegemonic and nuclear Iran has made the two unlikely allies.”

[snip]Unlike the U.S., Israel isn’t interested in bogus and political coalition building that may later bind them to their enemies. They are more than willing to engage a common adversary without entanglement with the very Arab nations they also know to be their enemies. They evidently understand better than we the potential pitfalls of such fool hardy policy.

And now that Obama is, for all intense and purposes, dragging the United States into aligning with Iran, it is the Sunni Saudis that are the most Israel Saudiworried.

[snip] So as Obama climbs under the covers with Iran, does he not know what we know? Has he simply not seen it on the TV news? Or does he know all of this, which better be likely, and he just thinks he is so smart, so compelling, and has such hubris that he can somehow prevent these events from their logical conclusion.

I hope, by some miracle, we never have to find out.

Inadvertently? How about recklessly and stupidly trashing the Middle East Alliance.

This is happening because Israel and Saudia Arabia see Iran as an existential threat, while the current regime is so anti-Israel that the can’t even see the threat.

The deal is still ongoing, give "The Planner Man" a chance.

[jsanders2001]

How about aiding and abetting the enemies of the U.S?

[Lockbox]

I think that due to The One’s lack of problem solving, the Middle East is working together to solve their problem. Who knew?

[kosciusko51]

John Kerry channeling his inner Bruce Jenner? Shouldn’t (s)he be wearing a full burka?

[RightOnTheBorder]

As the US (policy) changes sides in the ME it is only natural that the other parties in danger will ally to protect themselves.

This may not be all bad. Before the “Arab spring” Egypt was one of the least antagonistic neighbors towards Israel and I have t feeling that had a lot to do with the forced alliances between the two.

[The Great RJ]

Without the US taking the lead or reliably stopping Iran’s nuclear ambitions the other Arab states have to protect their own interests and in the long run a surprising coalition might be put together to stop both Iran and ISIS.

That has no wings, has never had any wings, so won’t fly. It’s a mantra for people who won’t put the time and effort into serious and critical thinking and just wish to spew the Treason concept.

Malfeasance, Misfeasance and Nonfeasance. Obama is certainly guilty of all 3. Malfeasance being the closest you could come to treason without really committing treason, imho.

The rest is just bad policy. Very bad. Which is not a treasonable offense.

This is a first in world history. We have never had a community organizing expert try to organize nuclear and soon to be nuclear nations. Obviously Obama’s biggest talent is divide and conquer a community by pitting groups against each other. His experience in the past was just with street gangs. Now his well honed skills are being applied to nuclear nations.

Caliphate.

What ever deal this idiot brokers with Iran will be broken within two days at the outside, more likely two hours, or two minutes.

I call him an idiot but to the Progressive Liberal Democrat Communist, he is genius, nothing short of a savior, a clarion of peace, one who wields power that cannot be diminished, there is none so blind as those who will not see.

There is a great fall coming, hopefully we the people, few we may be; will not be dragged down with them, they will cling and claw to us in an attempt to climb from that deep dark hole they foolishly dug, wisdom dictates at the very least a miniscule of foresight accompanied by preparation and of course faith if only the size of a mustard seed will all combined effect a means to survive. IMO!
