"Stranded on the rocks of reality" Obama 'Admin' doesn't share Israeli zeal for military solution.
"Stranded on the rocks of reality" Obama 'Admin' doesn't share Israeli zeal for military solution.(RT).By Adrian Salbuchi.Almost seven years later, Israel’s window of opportunity is closing fast.
‘My big brother America is gonna beat you up...!’ That’s been Israel’s implicit message to Iran ever since. When George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice and the Neo Cons ran America, bringing the US on board this war-mongering effort against Iran did not seem a daunting task.Especially considering that inside the US, Israel can rely on a little help from its 'friends': the powerful pro-Israel lobby led by AIPAC – American Israeli Public Affairs Committee.
But in 2008 Bush was replaced by Barack Obama whose brand of Democrats are not all knee-jerking 'Israel First'fanatics. Add to that the US Military’s growing resistance to a foreign policy that has been led astray by the Israeli lobby,particularly after successive fiasco's in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the growing “Arab Spring” mess.
Even more, large sectors of US and global public opinion are becoming aware of the dangers of America’s Israel addiction; of Israel’s use and abuse of the US as a proxy power fighting its wars, something clearly not in America’s national interest. In his message to the UN General Assembly last September, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu produced a cute bomb-shaped graph to show the world just how close 'big bad Iran' is to having a nuclear bomb which he says they will use to obliterate 'good little Israel'.
Netanyahu would have certainly loved to see staunch Zionist Mitt Romney make it to the White House in November’selections but – Alas! – he didn't, and Obama’s still living there,and even had the nerve of naming non-Zionist moderate Chuck Hagel as head the Pentagon.
It seems the US is taking an increasingly arm’s length approach to the 'Iran Problem' given the very serious geopolitical perils and overtones that any unilateral US/Israeli/NATO military attack on Iran would spell, which might even lead to direct confrontation with Russia.
Today the US and Israel have increasingly divergent interests and objectives regarding Iran. Israel’s are easy to grasp: Iran is Israel’s geopolitical arch-enemy, and one of the few countries that is up to the task of becoming a strong and credible leader in the Muslim World, especially since one of Iran’s key objectives is to do away with Israel's hard line rule in Palestine.
Nothing to do with Iran’s nuclear program but rather with the US Dollar. For many decades the US, through its Federal Reserve Bank, has abusively printed huge quantities of un backed 'Fiat money' to finance its huge deficit, which today has ballooned to over 15 trillion. All’s well as long as that money circulate sand ends up somewhere far away, such as the vaults of the central banks of friendly countries like Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and even of some not so friendly countries like China. Even if it is kept going around and around in the global financial merry-go-rounds of the bonds markets or... the huge global oil market.
“Just keep it flowing and busy in all those markets”,Washington seems to be saying, “...so that we can continue printing more and more of it!” Of course, none dare call it inflation,technocrats have nice buzz-words for things like, “Quantitative Easing I, II and III”, “TARP Funding” and “too-big-to-fail-mega bank bailouts...” But call it what you may, inflation by any other name smells just as rotten...
The key question now is which shall prevail in the US in the weeks and months to come: American national interest or Israel national interest?
This is really top level Machtpolitik so, just to be sure everything’s in order, the most obedient Western mainstream media are keeping “all options on the table” running all sorts of headlines to remind us how nasty Iran is, its nuke ambitions, poor Little Israel and its security issues (which is why they’re allow ed to keep the sole nuclear arsenal in the Middle East, right?), the delicate state of the global financial system and why no one should be allowed to rock the boat and, of course, the never-ending “War on Terror...”, But now we know.
It is all about oil; it is all about the US-Dollar; it is all about a global financial system being kept artificially alive for mega-banker profit; it is about Israel... The flip-side of that coin gets even worse: It’s not about the interest of the working masses in the US, Europe and worldwide; and it definitely is not about Democracy or Human Rights. Hmmmm.....I never doubted for a minute what Obama would do when it came to 'standing By Israel'.Read the full story here.
