Hmmm. One suspects 0bama's going to need a lot of help on just about everything.

Guess Who Will Be Helping to Shape Iran Policy for Obama?
this is beginning to suck big time.
<snip>
Meanwhile, it is rumored that among the main shapers of Obama's Iran policy will be Dennis Ross, the head of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the think tank of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. During Ross's tenure there, the WINEP website carried a call to bomb Iran; a paper arguing that nothing bad would happen if the US did bomb Iran; and it listed as a WINEP associate Daniel Pipes, who spent most of his waking hours during the past year decrying Barack Obama as a stealth Muslim and an apostate (which was it?) and who has repeatedly said racist things about Muslims. Turning Iran policy over to the Israel lobbies, the major agitators for a US war on Iran, is a very bad idea, and if this goes forward Obama will be signalling that there will not in fact be a new US-Iran relationship.

Let the "when will we bomb Iran?" guesses for the next four years commence.

2. Lemme guess.
It's going to be somebody you or I have never heard of, but he's certain proof that Barack Obama is a big sell out and will be just as bad as George W. Bush.

4. I'm reluctant to buy rumors immediately
But if it pans out... I give up. Selling out his DADT promises, then hiring a warmonger for a delicate peacemaking job?
I don't know what's going on. I know we have four years for things to smooth out, but I don't want to have to deal with a first year that reminds me of the last mother****er's first year!
The chewing primitive thinks he's being cute, using stupid acronyms.
What the **** is "DADT"?

16. Gosh, you've to figure Kissinger is on a short-list somewhere.
Maybe, a special envoy to Latin America or something? He could take care of that Chavez problem down there. Or Cuban transition to democracy czar, there's a good one! Human rights czar, perhaps??

24. Kissinger would be better suited to head up FDA where he could busy himself culling the "useless eaters" and poisoning the rest of us!
Oh man. I think Kissinger would be great advising 0bama, but it's only a dream.
