Author: AMERICA'S DRIVE FOR MIDDLE EAST … – The Race for Iran
www.raceforiran.com12/28/11
We largely agree with his more specific criticisms of Kroenig's article, although we take issue with his drive-by assertion that some of the Iranians who would be victims of a U.S. attack on their country “despise the clerical …

Preparing to Attack Iran with Nuclear Weapons: “No Option can be taken off the Table.” by Michel Chossudovsky. Global Research, December 26, 2011. “When a US sponsored nuclear war becomes an “instrument of peace”, …
Seems like Obama understands that Panetta is an anti-Semite!
According to a just released report, the "Israelis went ballistic", after US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said earlier this month that,
"An attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities could consume the Middle East in a confrontation and a conflict that we would regret".
Israeli Ambassador to Washington Michael Oren lodged a formal diplomatic protest, which prompted the White House to reassure Jerusalem that the administration had its own "red lines" that would trigger a strike on Iran and that there would be no need for Israel to operate unilaterally.
And a short time later Panetta told CBS’s ’60 Minutes’ that,
"Should Iran proceed with developing a nuclear weapon then we will take whatever steps necessary to stop it".
Will Israel Attack First?
Three senior US military officials have confirmed that analysts in the Pentagon were trying to predict which developments in Iran could lead to a preemptive Israeli strike on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities.
The report said that despite repeated requests going back to 2009, Netanyahu’s government has not agreed to ask the US for permission or give significant advanced warning of any pending strike.
What Are The Red Lines?
Matthew Kroenig, who served as special adviser on Iran to the Office of the Secretary of Defense between July 2010 and July 2011, offered some of the possible, "red lines" for a military strike on Iran.
"If Iran expels international nuclear weapons inspectors, begins enriching its stockpiles of uranium to weapons-grade levels of 90%, or installs advanced centrifuges at its main uranium-enrichment facility in Qom".
Kroenig also mentioned that the Islamic Republic announced in 2009 that it was set to construct ten new uranium enrichment sites.
"I doubt they are building 10 new sites, but I would be surprised if Iran was not racing to build some secret enrichment facilities".
"Progress on new facilities would be a major factor in our assessment of Iran’s nuclear program and shape all aspects of our policy towards this including the decision to use force".
And in a recent Foreign Affairs article he argued that the US should strike Iran’s facilities!

Obama Rejected Numerous Proposals to Retrieve Lost U.S. Drone …
atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com12/9/11
Apart from the obvious — Islamic Iran, China and Russia now have state-of-the-art stealth technology and we lose a killer app in the war against the enemies of freedom, the most troubling aspect of this story is that Obama had a window of opportunity to retrieve the critical intelligence gathering drone and rejected it. He left it there for the murdering mullahs. With early knowledge that the aircraft had likely remained intact, the senior U.S. official also told Fox News that …
Gay donors fuel Obama's 2012 bid – Catholic Citizens

The left-leaning super-rich, including George Soros, see Obama as hopelessly compromised and have lost their enthusiasm for him. Some Wall Street and hedge fund executives, tired of being criticized and regulated, have …
It’s somewhat hard to believe that this conversation took place on an MSNBC panel.
And I’m somewhat stunned by it!
On Morning Joe, a consensus emerged that Barack Obama doesn’t believe he has failed America, but rather that America has failed him.
Joe Scarborough encapsulated, saying,
"Obama sees our version of democracy as a stumbling block to his greatness".
More quotes:
"He believes that the country is not commensurate with his gifts".
"He thinks this country has an 18th constitutional republic that needs significant updating".
"He sees elected leaders from across the country as a stumbling block".
"And he sees democracy as …".
"He sees this government as a stumbling block that’s getting in the way of his greatness!".
I never thought I’d say it but,
"If this was on Morning Jow, then it must be true".
Does this video signify the end of the leftist MSM’s support for Obama?
That Obama was coming from the extreme left was never in doubt because he was a member of the New Party (communist) just twelve years before he was elected.
And he didn’t quit his prominent role; the courts shut the New Party down!
Did the MSM believe that he would be less left than his past portrayed?
Who knows, but let’s hope that they now understand and continue to downgrade him.
He has to go and maybe now there is a uniformity or opinion on it!?
