Not content to insult and provoke a crisis with democratic Israel, President Obama has moved toward a de facto détente with homosexual-hanging, demonstrator-slaughtering,  Armageddon-threatening, soon-to-be nuclear power, Muslim theocracy Iran. Jay Solomon and Maria Abi-Habib report in the Wall Street Journal:

The Obama administration and Iran, engaged in direct nuclear negotiations and facing a common threat from Islamic State militants, have moved into an effective state of détente over the past year, according to senior U.S. and Arab officials.

The shift could drastically alter the balance of power in the region, and risks alienating key U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates who are central to the coalition fighting Islamic State. Sunni Arab leaders view the threat posed by Shiite Iran as equal to or greater than that posed by the Sunni radical group Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. 

Israel contends the U.S. has weakened the terms of its negotiations with Iran and played down Tehran’s destabilizing role in the region.

Obama’s alignment with savage, Jew-slaightering forces is not limited to the mullahs:

The Obama administration also has markedly softened its confrontational stance toward Iran’s most important nonstate allies, the Palestinian militant group Hamas and the Lebanese militant and political organization, Hezbollah. American diplomats, including Secretary of State John Kerry, negotiated with Hamas leaders through Turkish and Qatari intermediaries during cease-fire talks in July that were aimed at ending the Palestinian group’s rocket attacks on Israel, according to senior U.S. officials.

The fight against ISIS is the trigger for the alignment with the mullahs:

Since the U.S. resumed military operations inside Iraq in August, however, the Revolutionary Guard, or IRGC, has explicitly ordered its local proxies not to target American military personnel conducting and coordinating attacks against Islamic State from bases around Baghdad and Iraq’s Kurdish region, according to U.S. officials who have tracked Iranian communications.

Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Guard’s overseas operations known as the Qods Force, specifically instructed Iraqi Shiite militias long at war with the U.S., such as the Mahdi Army and Kata’ib Hezbollah, that American efforts to weaken Islamic State were in the long-term interests of Tehran and its allies, said these officials.

All well and good, I suppose, but ISIS has not threatened to destroy us, aka the Great Satan, nor is it pursuing a nuclear arsenal to accomplish this aim.

Please pardon me if I believe that Obama and his Secretary of State Kerry lack the sophistication and guts to effectively play the Iran card against ISIS, which is, after all, a new and so far limited player, albeit one on a dramatic trajectory. In addition to Israel, Obama is sacrificing longstanding relationships with Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, which, for all their many faults, are dependable allies deeply threatened by the Shiite mullahs who covet their oilfields that jst happen to be located in areas with a large Shiite population, particularly in Saudi.

Enhancing Hamas and Hezb’allah, as Obama is doing, also mortally threatens Israel.

This is an absolute travesty. I am very curious to hear what Hillary Clinton would say if asked about these moves by the boss she served as Secretary of State.
