Iran and US: Awkward Side-Hugs

by Mathias at 10:01 am

Obama-lackey and former arch-nemesis, Hillary R Clinton, was running around the Hague lately.

Iran’s statements at a conference on Afghanistan here suggest that Tehran is willing to coordinate its policies more closely with its neighbors and other countries — something that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she hoped would come out of the gathering.

But the Iranian government also said sending more foreign troops to Afghanistan would be ineffective, arguing that the “the presence of foreign forces has not improved things in the country.”

Populism (and some old-fashioned anti-semitism) is what powers the Iranian regime and oh! Look at this! Iran says it will help with the drug trade so it can keep drugs out of its own country, obviously. But no, America is still the Great Satan for meddling in the affairs of other countries, with troops.

The preteen fumbling in the dark by these two countries becomes exponentially more inappropriate since Israel basically said, “yeah we bombed Sudan and we’ll mess up Iran if they come around again.” We can’t forget this charming man either. He thinks the Iranian regime will collapse of its own volition within two years. A peaceful resolution to all this tom-foolery would be greatly appreciated but I have a feeling that since Netanyahu is a no-nonsense, classy guy that Israel might end up resolving the Iran thing for us.

That ending might make Obama look a little bit silly. Flirting with Iran when Israel can see.
