I have opined in the past that President Obama’s sympathies mostly
lie with the Shiite sect of Islam. Now we discover that Obama has once again covertly
courted this sect. Apparently our President has written at least four secret
personal missives to Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei about thawing our relations with
Iran and about the United States cooperating with Iran in the battle against
the ISIS insurgents … see:
Wall Street Journal Article. These are
billets doux if you will.
As we are told in the above reference, Obama did not inform Israel
and other Mideast allies about the contents of at least this latest letter, nor
did he consult with Congress … but clearly these contacts with Iran are primarily
attempts to sweeten the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran which are heading for a
November 24
th deadline … see:
Foot Dragging and
Kicking the Can. Humiliatingly enough, it also appears that the Ayatollah has not responded or
even acknowledged any of these White House epistles.
I can understand that our government might need to have
back-channel communications with Iran … but four personal presidential valentines?
And what if these highest level attempts at a secret deal bare fruit? President
Obama has proven himself such a poor negotiator and so supremely untrustworthy to
boot, that I sincerely doubt that any agreement he could reach with Iran would
be acceptable to Congress and/or the American people. His efforts are therefore
Pyrrhic at best and subversive at worst.
