The political fiasco around POTUS Obama’s insistence that
Israeli PM Netanyahu not speak to Congress and the American people about the
dangers of the Iranian nuclear negotiations is a ploy similar to the Obamacare
legislation that was passed by the Democratic Congress. Nobody knew what was in
it. Israel can’t accept “trust me” when their survival is at risk.
The American people, Congress, and the world are entitled to
transparency in the negotiations, as well as a serious public discussion and debate
over what Obama and Kerry are offering Iran in the closed-door sessions. We
already heard the “you’ll be able to read it after it has passed” from Pelosi
with Obamacare. The USA can fix and cleanup the loose ends of Obamacare over
time – at great expense. Once a hostile country has a nuclear bomb the genie
can’t get back in the bottle. Do we really need another North Korea?
Israeli PM Netanyahu has a sacred duty to do whatever he can
to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Obama has broken ranks with
Democrat and Republican Presidents (and the original UN mandate for
negotiations) who for over 20 years have held the line on Iran not developing
or keeping ANY nuclear capability. He has totally ignored Iran’s state
sponsorship of terrorism in Syria – where over 250K have died and hundreds of
thousands made into refugees. He has ignored Iran’s threats of destruction
towards Israel. He has ignored Iran’s 40 years of arming their surrogates
Hezbollah and Hamas against Israel.
It is pure arrogance that President Obama would put the
world, the Middle East, and Israel at risk just so he can have his “Henry
Kissinger China moment “ before he leaves office in order to have a foreign
policy legacy - while leaving the world a more dangerous place.
Israel doesn’t have the luxury of having the Atlantic Ocean between
them and their enemy. Israel doesn’t have the world largest military. Israel is
not so big that they can lose wars like Iraq, Afghanistan or Viet Nam and then
“pull out” when they get tired of the conflict. Israel cannot afford to lose
ONE war - and politics has nothing to do with it.
