Obama refused to support in anyway whatsoever the popular uprising in Iran, although he sent all of America's resources to support the overthrow of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and others [Yeman] we do not yet know about.
Obama opened all of our NASA missile and space technology to what he called “Muslim Outreach” [Iran]. And, he has openly supported “Taliban Outreach”, which in my opinion is idiotic. Obama and Clinton are friends to Hamas, the PLO, and Hezbolla which are all proxies to Iran. Obama and NATO supported Al-Quada in Libya. And, every encounter he has with Russia or China, has resulted in a net gain to them and has resulted in US giving up something, usually of vital strategic importance.
Obama has worked consistently with Iran and our enemies in forestalling, postponing, and delaying, any action which would prevent Iran from building WMDs. Iran has been under sanctions for 40 years since Carter. Now!? After almost half a century of sanctions, they are suddenly going to start working? Nonsense! Sanctions never work against anyone. There are too many black-market suppliers. who ‘love’ sanctions btw. Sanctions mean nothing but money going to sources other than the U.S. Sanctions are just words that cowards or cohorts use to stall any real action.
Obama has refused to condemn or even name Iran as the primary weapons, training, logistics, and troop, supplier which constitutes the bulk of the forces fighting against America and NATO in Iraq and Afghanistan. Furthermore, he put such stringent combat rules of engagement on the American troops, that it became nearly illegal to fight the Iranian supplied troops. BTW, the Iranian troops know that they are at war with us, however, we are not even allowed to believe they are at war with us no matter how many times they tell us they are, and we are certainly no allowed to be at war with them.
The Obama administration has acted as an ally to Iran and has been a godsend to the brutally represive theocratic mullahs ruling there. They believe and sometimes say that Obama is an answer to their prayers and a sign of the 12th Imam, i.e., the end of the world Apocalypse. All of this has not gone unnoticed by Israel, by Jews and Christians worldwide, and equally importantly, it has been noticed in the house of Saud with some alarm. His pro-Iranian stance is becoming more and more difficult for even his supporters to ignore. IMHO
He could have waited at least two days before backing up.
A spring attack would make sense. Why wait for longer days.
