Same Khara, Different Administration

It’s no real surprise to anyone with even the smallest insight into the biased U.S.-Israel relationship to witness the Obama administration with all its hype, its drama and its flowery rhetoric (or Haki Fadi, Arabic for ‘Empty Talk,’ depending on who you ask), cave in to the pressure and drop its demands for Israel to halt its illegal settlement activity

Understanding Causality

The Obama Administration’s rhetoric against Iran differs from the Bush’s in one main aspect: While Bush was blunt and arrogant, Obama and Co. are either naïve or purposefully and conveniently ignoring four decades of relevant history.

Obama, Secretary of State Clinton, CIA Head Leon Panetta, and Secretary of Defense Bob Gates have all stated their concerns that Iran’s alleged quest for a nuclear bomb could trigger an arms race in the Middle East.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told senators Wednesday that if Iran obtains a nuclear weapons capability, it would trigger an arms race in the Middle East and beyond. She said the Obama administration is pursuing a diplomatic track on the issue with Iran but within a specific time-frame.
