While those of us who were actually paying attention to who and what the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was are not surprised that an unleashed second term has led to Obama bringing chaos and violence to the Middle East as well as Israel’s survival to the brink, we did not expect that he would do everything in his power to hand to Iran a nuclear weapon on a silver platter. But that is exactly what he is doing.
And he has handed over the Middle East to Russia and Iran to run amok, decimating any remaining stability or ability for America to protect its interests. But it is Israel that will pay the most expensive price in the near term as ISIS moves on Gaza, the Golan Heights, and the West Bank and Hezb’allah’s power is buoyed by our enemies’ projection of their own military might.
In an appearance on The Kelly File Thursday evening, Charles Krauthammer issued a devastating critique of Obama and his Syrian policy. Kelly asked if we are watching the end of our status as a super power. Krauthammer replied
We are watching the culmination of a policy begun by Obama when he came into office to get out of the Middle East. That’s all he cared about….
You leave, everything implodes and our allies…are in absolute panic over the fact that the umbrella America has held over the region for half a century has been folded – deliberately by Barack Obama.
Watch the full interview here.
Netanyahu concluded his UNGA speech pointing out that Israel is on the front lines of the war for the survival of Western civilization. He beseeched the world to “[s]tand with Israel because it is not just defending itself. More than ever, Israel is defending you.” Would that the world’s leaders, Barack Obama, and the American people wake up before it is too late.
