Well, this is a fascinating article - no, not because it surprises me at all - I've always believed without much doubt, regardless of what he said or how he said it, that Obama had no intention whatsoever of ever seriously getting in the way of the Iranian theocracy's desire to go nuclear - and I don't believe Israel ever believed him either - I'm pretty sure the powers that be in Israel see right through the guy. Still, unless he comes out soon and forcefully denies this story or the gist of what this story is about, this will essentially be perceived by our enemies as Obama walking away in short order from a second red line he has drawn against them - how does anyone, I don't care how addled you are by left wing ideology, convince themselves that's a good or at least not necessarily bad thing?

And I'm really scratching my head on this - cause I have a very hard time believing this is all just a result of Obama being a naive fool or an arrogant jerk or both - to me this almost seems planned, calculated - I have no idea what the fuck the plan would be, some ill conceived nonsense I'm sure - but still, I'm having a real hard time believing these people are so stupid as to offer up two frickin' red lines to our enemies only to in short order ignominiously back away from them - it's possible, sure, and certainly given their general idiocy up 'til now not beyond belief - but c'mon... really?
