leftchick (1000+ posts) Thu Feb-05-09 03:48 PMOriginal message 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.http://www.juancole.com/2009/02/iran-obama-admin-off-to... Let the "when will we bomb Iran?" guesses for the next four years commence.

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!

Change? apparently those are great marketing words.

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??

What the **** is "DADT"?
