Obama administration says Iran and Hezbollah no longer terror threats
Michael Cantrell
Just when you think Obama’s absolutely awful foreign policy and pandering to radical Islam couldn’t possibly get any worse, he decides to remove both Iran and Hezbollah off the list of terror threats.
So either this guy is intentionally placing our country and our relationships with allies in the Middle East at risk, or he’s dumber than a box of rocks and actually believes his progressive kumbaya style policies will create a peaceful Utopian society on earth.
I’m thinking it’s both.
From Times of Israel:
An annual report delivered recently to the US Senate by James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, removed Iran and Hezbollah from its list of terrorism threats, after years in which they featured in similar reports.The unclassified version of the Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Communities, dated February 26, 2015 (PDF), noted Iran’s efforts to combat Sunni extremists, including those of the ultra-radical Islamic State group, who were perceived to constitute the preeminent terrorist threat to American interests worldwide.
In describing Iran’s regional role, the report noted the Islamic Republic’s “intentions to dampen sectarianism, build responsive partners, and deescalate tensions with Saudi Arabia,” but cautioned that “Iranian leaders—particularly within the security services—are pursuing policies with negative secondary consequences for regional stability and potentially for Iran.
The Shiite Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is funded and mentored by Tehran, has been fighting the Islamic State, independently of the American-led campaign, both in Syria and Iraq.
According to one Israeli think tank, the removal of Iran and its proxy Hezbollah from the list of terror threats, where they featured in previous years, was directly linked to the campaign against the Islamic State.
So here’s Obama logic for removing these two from the terror threat list.
If they are attacking our current enemy, ISIS, then they must be on our side, so that makes them good guys, not terrorists, despite holding the same ideology as the Islamic State and having a history of wanting to wipe America off the face of the earth.
Our president is a Harvard graduate, people. Supposedly one of the best schools in the country. I have to say, if Obama is representative of the type of geniuses this “institution of higher learning” produces, I’ll be sending my kids elsewhere, thanks.
Obama and his ilk constantly look for opportunities to pander to the Muslim community, and their “efforts” to destroy ISIS are just political smoke screens used to pull the wool over the eyes of gullible politicians like the president.
Iran and Hezbollah believe essentially the same things as ISIS terrorists, which in my book, is enough to keep them permanently on the terror threat list.
Playing politics with national security puts the whole country in danger, as well as our allies, but this doesn’t seem to matter to the current administration.
With these kind of policies in place, it’s only a matter of time before a bunch of loonies from the Middle East are able to carry out a major attack on U.S. soil.
