WHITE HOUSE MAKES 2 NEW MISTAKES ON IRAN
by joelcrosenberg
The White House has made two new and serious mistakes on Iran in recent days:
1. The Obama administration has just canceled joint military exercises with the Israelis.
2. The Obama administration has both denied killing a top-ranking Iranian nuclear scientist and condemned the scientist's assassination.
Given that U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says Iran could have the Bomb by the end of 2012, the U.S. should intensifying pressure on the evil regime in Tehran. This would include dramatically escalating covert ops inside Iran, and making preparations for possible air strikes if there are no other alternatives to neutralizing the Iran threat. Instead, the senior team at the White House just blinked -- twice -- showing weakness instead of resolve. They have also made it more likely, not less, that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu may conclude this year that he has no other choice but to launch a massive first strike against Iran. We'd better keep praying for peace, while preparing ourselves for war.
