Talk Ain't Cheap When it Comes to Iran War US President Barack Obama had the difficult task of placating AIPAC with expected slavish support for America's BFF, while seeking to tone down the war rhetoric over Iran. His delivery of the annual bilge for donations was enthusiastically appreciated throughout most of the speech, as it hit all salient hot button issues.
As per usual, the Pro-Israeli Lobby has a comprehensive laundry list of to do items they're concerned with. Rather than bore our audience with the entire scroll, it'll have to suffice to say America is obliged to accommodate any and all demands. Iran, being the primary target of the IDF's attention and hence the US' most pressing problem has brought the levels of negative discord beyond the pale of reason.
Simply allowing a sustained narrative of military conflict erupting between Iran and the US/Israeli combine is costing the world's economy billions, to say nothing of the interruption of global business due to the "crippling sanctions." Constrained to keep diplomacy alive, while clearly being coerced by the Israeli's eagerness for the use of military force, President Obama walks a very thin rope en route to his reelection.
Balancing Israel's ever increasing expectations for US supporting an Iranian military confrontation with the negative economic impact said confrontation is sure to invite upon the world should be at the top of President Obama's priorities.
Since patience, containment, dialog and diplomacy are no longer keywords of importance in the Iranian's nuclear program discussion, we are left with war, air strikes, bunker busters, retaliation, uncertainty, recession, terror attacks and of course higher energy cost for everyone.
Unfortunately for President Obama, he has this burdensome Israeli issue to carry throughout his election campaign. With the weight of GOP candidates jumping on every opportunity to instigate a war for Israeli donations in the mix, this president must find a way to navigate the tricky waters of campaign rhetoric and economic realities.
Talk is cheap, but not when it comes to war
