Just in from Joel rosenburg’s e-mail:

Something curious is happening in the Middle East.

Amidst President Obama’s repeated moves to withdraw American military power and influence from the Middle East and “pivot” to Asia, ....three regional leaders in the epicenter are forming a quiet, unexpected but fiercely determined alliance....To protect their people against two existential threats, one posed by the Shia Radical Islamists of Iran, the other posed by the Sunni Radical Islamists of ISIS.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu;
Jordan’s King Abdullah II; and
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

They are meeting secretly. They are talking regularly by phone, as well as with other leaders in the region from Saudi Arabia to the Gulf. Their senior advisors are also in regular contact, coordinating moves to counter their most serious enemies...... They are NOT waiting for Washington. Indeed, they often see the White House and State Department as less than helpful, and sometimes opposed to — or not truly understanding — their national and shared interests.

Two U.S. officials told me of a meeting they had with President el-Sisi in Cairo last year. The Egyptian leader told them he had a better working relationship with Netanyahu than with President Obama.

Netanyahu, King Abdullah and el-Sisi have come to realize that President Obama and his administration do not fully appreciate the magnitude of the threat, and that the Obama team is not fully committed to taking decisive action to neutralize the threat.

Well. If that is all true it’s both reassuring and alarming.

Reassuring in that there are productive working relationships between Israel and some ME players. Alarming that our leaders are so anti-Israel and “moderates” over there and have placed us outside the loop.

Joel Rosenburg’s brand new book “The Third Target” is excellent, and features Jordan and King Abdullah II.

Al-Sis, Netanyahu and Abdullah would be our natural partners to extinguish ISIS.

But Obama WANTS ISIS to succeed,and it has become obvious by now.

He is thus, their enemy as well as ours.

“To defeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power would be to win the battle and lose the war,” Netanyahu told leaders at the UN last September. “ISIS and Hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree. They share the same fanatical creed….The Nazis believed in a master race. The militant Islamists believe in a master faith….

Netanyahu's right about this...

With all the confusion during the “Spring” which group in Egypt were carrying the anti Hillary and anti O signs? The ones that claimed that they belonged in jail?
