aznativemike's blog: "The Pastor's Sermon"

Ok, so maybe for a first post this is a bit "conspiracyish", and it might just be me, but it's a thought. For the past week, I've began wondering to myself if maybe there wasn't some kind of behind closed doors deal between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamine Netanyahu, and President Obama.

I find it interesting that Netanyahu's endorsement of a two state solution, (which, for the record, I am against) came after the Iranian "elections" and their announced results. Obviously, we were all hoping to see the opposition party win the elections in Iran, although truth be told, there isn't a lot of difference between the current regime and the opposition, still, some change would've been a good sign.

However, as events have unfolded in Iran, it's become increasingly clear that the old revolutionaries in Iran are determined to stay in power, and I fear mass bloodshed in the coming days and weeks as they attempt to quell the opposition. It is my belief that we will soon witness another Tienneman Square, not a revolution. The current regime has all but slammed the door shut on President Obama's attempt at a new dialogue with Iran, Obama's hand may be forced.

Which brings me to my theory, which again, is just a theory, I'll leave it just short of a prediction, but remember that you read it here first. It is my belief that there was a secret deal made between Netanyahu and Obama. For those unfamiliar with Netanyahu, he is the new, some would say hawkish, prime minister of Israel. In fact, I have read a couple of his books (highly reccommended), he is Israeli born and American educated, highly educated. He is not someone to cave in very easily to outside pressure regarding the "Palestinians". He puts Israel's security first and foremost, as he should. I believe, in exchange for endorsing a two state solution, he received support from Obama, for a future strike on Iran. This, in my opinion, comes in the form of full political backing and possibly even logistical or military support. I believe this due to the timing of Netanyahu's announcement.

If this were true, Obama, much like the pirate crisis, would show the "steel in his spine" that Vice President Biden referred to during the campaign, and I believe this to be one of his major tests. If so, it would show the world that while America is not above a dialogue with any nation, we will also never allow our people to be threated, we take care of our own. I guess we shall see.
