Too Jewish For Iran
June 15th, 2009
President Obama doesn’t only bow to the Saudi king.
He’s now bowing to the theocracy in Iran as well, by spinelessly acquiescing to their demand to remove Dennis Ross from his position as US envoy.
And President Intern is choosing to do this at perhaps the most dangerous moment that Iran’s theocracy has faced in the thirty-year history of the Islamic republic.
His misguided touchy-feeliness empathy with the scumbag dictators of the world is now getting scary.
There are two things about Ross that don’t exactly please the mad mullahs.
One is that his new book, Myths, Illusions, and Peace – Finding a New Direction for America in the Middle East, backs the possible use of military force against Iran.
And the other is that he’s Jewish. Which, in my mind, makes Ross the perfect choice for ambassador to Iran, never mind any lesser position.
Madeleine Albright, though nothing special in herself, was a masterstroke of an appointment for being female and Jewish – having her represent the most powerful country on Earth made Middle Eastern tyrants confront the two things they hate most in the same person. Awesome.
Obama is doing the exact opposite here.
More so even than acts of strength, acts of weakness on this scale are never forgotten.
