Obama is being nice to Iran and this is raising alarms in the Middle East. Sec. of Defense Robert Gates had to go to the region to calm allies down. However Iran is waiting, plotting and destabilizing the region. Lebanon and Bahrain are the next countries to fall into the Iranian Axis.

As the U.S. Retreats, Iran Fills the Void

Convinced that the Obama administration is preparing to retreat from the Middle East, Iran’s Khomeinist regime is intensifying its goal of regional domination. It has targeted six close allies of the U.S.: Egypt, Lebanon, Bahrain, Morocco, Kuwait and Jordan, all of which are experiencing economic and/or political crises.

Iranian strategists believe that Egypt is heading for a major crisis once President Hosni Mubarak, 81, departs from the political scene. He has failed to impose his eldest son Gamal as successor, while the military-security establishment, which traditionally chooses the president, is divided. Iran’s official Islamic News Agency has been conducting a campaign on that theme for months. This has triggered a counter-campaign against Iran by the Egyptian media.

Change and hope is what Obama promised. However this obviously was meant for Iran. I still don’t understand why the International Progressive Movement supports Iran? If someone can answer I would love to know. What Obama should of done with the 700 Billion stimulus is use that money to crate a clean new energy source so countries like Iran can go broke. Iran would be forced to sell carpets!
