Obama's engagement of Iran has been a secret policy since he took office in 2009 and explains the apparent lack of strategy that he's often accused of. Not only is his policy a break with decades of US foreign policy consensus, it is perhaps the world's gravest concern.

The plan is to normalize relations with Iran and N. Korea before he is out.

Those are just two of his 4th quarter things.

Good call.

It’s very likely he has allied himself with the Mullahs in Tehran — and against America.

Long recognized by the U.S. government as the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, Iran is the planet’s “most dangerous regime,”

Several years ago when the "Arab Spring" phenomenon was taking place, Obama was speaking up in support of the "democracy" movements which in actuality were takeovers by radical jihadist movements. He was supportive of almost all of them except Iran which was supposedly a truly democratic movement. Obama said nothing and did nothing and Iran's pro democracy movement was squashed by the jihadists.

Thanks Obama for giving the world a new emboldened and more radicalized than ever Iran.

The truth is we can’t coexist with a metastasizing cancer like a nuclearized Iranian terrorist state. That’s why, in 2010, the Senate voted 99-0 — against Obama’s wishes — for intensified sanctions, which have since been relaxed, and it’s why there’s overwhelming bipartisan support to restore those sanctions’ negotiation-strengthening effect. Entrusted with safeguarding civilization’s future, shouldn’t our leaders act while the cancer is operable?

Of course they should, but who do you think is Statesman enough to step forward and take the lead?

Perhaps Bibi will be a catalyst, but it needs to be soon with deadlines like March 24th looming in the near future.

Until you deal with Saudi Arabia’s funding of terrorism, you can play whack-a-mole indefinitely.

[AmericanVictory]

There is no chance for success for a policy to reach an agreement that yields anything to a state whose only foreign policy is terrorism followed by a threat of missile-delivered nuclear weapons.

[RKBA Democrat]

A sad story to be sure, but we can only hope that our government does nothing to intervene. The currrent modus operandi is to spend American lives and American treasure to lose wars in the long term.

Remember GW Bush’s “Axis of Evil” speech in the aftermath of 9-11-01 listing Iran, Iraq, and North Korea?

Nothing new here.
