Dear liberals, only in America, with press and media acting as stage managers of the Obama passion play, can what is false be portrayed as true - in the wider world the deploying of such magic tricks to beguile low info voters becomes a bit more problematic - accordingly, witness the new 'moderate' president of Iran calling Israel a wound that has festered too long on the body of Islam that must be removed - this comes on the heels of Ramadan funds for Gaza from Iran recently being routed through Islamic Jihad rather than Hamas, IJ being somewhat more virulent in its Jew hating fervor than Hamas, who are certainly no slouches at it [although this was probably done to punish Hamas for not doing enough to support Assad in Syria].
I remember when Rouhani was elected and progressives were wetting themselves with delight over the prospects of Dear Leader finally having a reasonable man he could negotiate a nuke deal with and cynics like myself scoffed with bemused disdain at the naivety of these silly people, and I thought this should prove a nice test of whether liberals or conservatives tend to have a clearer view of the real world. Guess the test is over, quicker than I thought, too - and Netanyahu apparently agrees, saying "Rouhani's true face has been exposed earlier than expected".
