Shakespearean Quandary for Obama to Resolve

The American President, Barack Obama, has a quandary of the Shakespearean type on his hand, and he may be forced to resolve it soon. The current reality is that he has a group of people made of American legislators and their Jewish backers pushing him to gamble with the possibility of getting America involved in another Middle Eastern war; this time against Iran.

Pushing from the opposite side are the Iranians themselves who say they want to resolve their differences with America because they want to see neither their own people nor the Americans die in a needless war, and this happens to be the opinion of most Americans. So whose side should President Obama take? The folks at home who clamor for war, or the potential distant enemy that is calling for a peaceful solution to the standoff?

You get a glimpse into this quandary when you read the article written by Clifford D. May that came under the title: “Iran's Delays and Deceptions” and the subtitle: “At least 26 members of the Senate want to warn the regime against negotiating in bad faith.” It was published in National Review Online on December 26, 2013.

The most telling paragraph in the author's presentation is the one in which he goes over the head of the President that is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces and the one into whom the Constitution has vested the powers to conduct foreign policy. There, you see how blatantly May instructs the potential renegade legislators – whom he says may now be sitting on the fence – how they must frame the questions about Iran in their own minds despite what the President may think or what strategy his negotiating team has adopted for the negotiations. Here is that infamous paragraph:

“Are you confident that Iran's rulers are negotiating in good faith? Do you think American diplomats will be helped or harmed if you give them additional leverage? … Are you convinced that the Iranian president and his foreign minister are moderates? Or do you suspect that they might be trying to play American diplomats like a Guadagnini [fiddle]?”

Thus, May and his cohorts who sit thousands of miles away from the negotiating table which happens to be in Switzerland, are telling the potential Congressional renegades who themselves sit thousands of miles away from the negotiating table, how to judge the sincerity of the Iranian negotiating team regardless of what the American negotiators who sit across the table from them may think.

Well, let me tell you something, my friend, ask any judge of the court of appeals what the thing is that humbles them the most when it comes to reversing the decision made by a judge in the court of first instance. Without hesitation, that judge will tell you it is having to decide on a matter where the appeal judges do not see the litigants, whereas the judges of first instance have looked the litigants in the eyes, and have sensed who was telling the truth and who was lying.

Thus, for Clifford May to pretend that he, together with his beguiling cohorts and the potential Congressional renegades can judge the situation better than the professional American and Western negotiators, sitting across the table from the Iranians, is more than an insult to the intelligence of the American people; it is an expression of the full contempt that these charlatans have for America's intelligence, and for the lives of the boys and girls who will be sent to die as a direct result of what the Jewish beguilers and their gentile followers are asking.

And this is why the American people must make it clear to those now sitting on the fence that they must not follow in the footsteps of the 26 senators of ill repute who sponsored that bill of dishonor. They should instead come out, denounce it, stand with their president and with their negotiating team – and most of all, stand to protect the lives of their own young men and women, and those of their neighbors who will be asked to die for one reason and one reason only; that of boosting the ego of Israel's Netanyahu.

As to the 26 senators who have already committed the most extreme form of prostitution; the selling of their country and its youngsters – what the American people should do is build a wall, plaster their pictures on it and let passers by spit on them. Here are those odious names: Bob Menendez, Mark Kirk, Chuck Schumer, Lindsey Graham, Ben Cardin, John McCain, Bob Casey, Marco Rubio, Chris Coons, John Cornyn, Richard Blumenthal, Kelly Ayotte, Mark Begich, Bob Corker, Mark Pryor, Susan Collons, Mary Landrieu, Jerry Moran, Kirsten, Gillibtand, Pat Roberts, Mark Warner, Mike Johanns, Kay Hagan, Ted Cruz, Joe Donnelly, and Roy Blunt.

As to President Obama, it looks increasingly clear how he is inclined to respond to the questions: Whose side should he take? The folks at home who clamor for war, or the potential distant enemy that is calling for a peaceful solution to the standoff? He is choosing to discharge his duty as Commander-in-Chief and President by preserving the most precious thing a nation has, the lives of its people.
