I have written many times that to understand the motivations of the Obama administration, you only need to look at the consequences of its actions. Today, the evidence is becoming more and more clear that Iran dominated, even controlled American foreign policy at the Obama White House.

As Israeli airstrikes thunder across the Iraqi-Syrian border overnight, the existence of an Iranian land bridge from Tehran to Damascus is now an afterthought, not merely a possibility. The complete and precipitous, premature withdrawal of American forces from Iraq by President Obama allowed this to happen, which now threatens the entire world, not just The Jewish State of Israel.

Iranian militias and terror armies exist across Iraq and Syria and into Lebanon, surrounding Israel's northern border. The mullahs in Iran have stolen hundreds of billions of dollars from their own people and funneled the funds into maintaining these networks outside their borders in order to change the geopolitics of the Middle East.

They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in this quest during the Obama years; now it is up to the Trump administration to clean up the mess.

Obama also almost succeeded in giving the murderous mullahs the nuclear bomb. The Obama White House pushed to get a 'deal' with Iran at any cost, including the national security of the United States. In other words, Obama pushed to give Iran nuclear weapons at the expense of the safety of your family.

“We created an echo chamber,” declared Obama advisor Ben Rhodes, when asked about arms-control experts that appeared at think tanks and were then used as sources for hundreds of reporters – whom the article described as “clueless.”

Of those experts, Rhodes said: “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say," reported Fox News.

The question you need to ask yourself is -- why did the Obama administration feel the need to deceive the American people about the JCPOA? I think the answer is obvious

General James Mattis, in his new book, detailed his shock at Obama refusing to confront Tehran, even after they were caught planning to bomb an American restaurant in Washington, DC. Mattis called it an act of war and resulted in his resignation.

Mattis writes that he “saw the intelligence: we had recorded Tehran’s approval of the operation.”

“Had the bomb gone off, those in the restaurant and on the street would have been ripped apart, blood rushing down sewer drains. It would have been the worst attack on us since 9/11. I sensed that only Iran’s impression of America’s impotence could have led them to risk such an act within a couple of miles of the White House,” Mattis writes. “Absent one fundamental mistake — the terrorists had engaged an undercover DEA agent in an attempt to smuggle the bomb — the Iranians would have pulled off this devastating attack. Had that bomb exploded, it would have changed history.”

Mattis writes that he wanted to “respond forcefully,” but President Barack Obama refused to inform the public about just how dangerous the plot truly was.

“We treated an act of war as a law enforcement violation, jailing the low-level courier,” Mattis writes.

When you combine the above with the midnight cash payments, and the multiple appeasements of Iran, you can come to no other conclusion -- the stupidity of the Iraq War was Bush's fault, but allowing Iran to become the main geopolitical beneficiary was the diabolical intent of Barack Hussein Obama.
