Obama Coddles Assad to Please Iran, Endangering Millions


August 6, 2014 - Last January 21, we published a column in this space entitled Obama and the European Jihadists. We then raised the issue of President Barack Obama's troubling passivity in the face of the large-scale massacres perpetrated by the regime of Bashar al-Assad, and above all, American obstruction of any military aid to the Syrian opposition, even when Damascus enjoys massive and unlimited Russia and Iranian support. Such an attitude, we stressed, could have none other than the inevitable fallout of reinforcing radical trends and the jihadists... President Obama, it seems, is obsessed by a desire to enter into a strategic agreement with the Iranian Islamic republic. This is likely the obsession that in 2010 drove him to flout the outcome of the Iraqi legislative elections (a lesson in democracy!) and reached an agreement with the Iranian government to impose Teheran's henchman, Nouri al-Maliki, as Iraq's prime minister. This, even though he had come in second in the poll behind Sunni strongman Iyad Allawi. We know the events since then. For four years Mr. Maliki systematically marginalized Iraqi Sunni elements, applying a policy blindly-aligned with Iran. The Obama administration pretended to see nothing, until a few weeks ago, when it claimed to be "surprised" by the violence of the reaction, not so much from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant [ISIL], but from the Sunni tribes and the Ulema (Muslim scholars and religious leaders)...

Obama Coddles Assad to Please Iran, Endangering Millions

By Michel Touma

August 6, 2014


Translated By Martyn Fogg, Worldmeets.US


Last January 21, we published a column in this space entitled Obama and the European Jihadists. We then raised the issue of President Barack Obama's troubling passivity in the face of the large-scale massacres perpetrated by the regime of Bashar al-Assad, and above all, American obstruction of any military aid to the Syrian opposition, even when Damascus enjoys massive and unlimited Russia and Iranian support. Such an attitude, we stressed, could have none other than the inevitable fallout of reinforcing radical trends and the jihadists.

The current events in Ersal (southeast Lebanon) as well as the series of suicide attacks that have struck the country in recent months are, without a doubt, the predictable result of Hezbullah's involvement in the Syrian war. However, they are just as much a result, which was just as predictable, of the careless "laissez-faire" policy applied in the region by the master of the White House.

President Obama, it seems, is obsessed by a desire to enter into a strategic agreement with the Iranian Islamic republic. This is likely the obsession that in 2010 drove him to flout the outcome of the Iraqi legislative elections (a lesson in democracy!) and reached an agreement with the Iranian government to impose Teheran's henchman, Nouri al-Maliki, as Iraq's prime minister. This, even though he had come in second in the poll behind Sunni strongman Iyad Allawi. We know the events since then. For four years Mr. Maliki systematically marginalized Iraqi Sunni elements, applying a policy blindly-aligned with Iran. The Obama administration pretended to see nothing, until a few weeks ago, when it claimed to be "surprised" by the violence of the reaction, not so much from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant [ISIL], but from the Sunni tribes and the Ulema (Muslim scholars and religious leaders) [videos right]. Is it possible that the Obama Administration is so politically blind that it couldn't predict that Maliki's alignment with the aims of Iran's mullahs could only lead to Sunni radicalization?

There is the same cause-and-effect phenomenon in Syria. By obstinately opposing the supply of weapons to the Syrian opposition - against the advice of his then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton - Barack Obama gave de facto carte blanche to Bashar al-Assad to continue his widespread massacres and the use of starvation as a weapon of war, to say nothing of the torture practiced against tens of thousands of prisoners, as illustrated by the horrifying photographs shown a few days ago to the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee by Syrian Army photographer "Caesar" - who defected.

The impunity granted the Damascus tyrant by the American president, combined with the arrogance of Hezbullah in Lebanon and its participation in massacres of Syria's Sunni population, has led to a classic and inevitable result: the spread of fundamentalist currents in Syria and Lebanon, ending with the growing risk of jihadism, even within American and European societies.

In recent few months, a number of senior Western officials, notably French, but especially America's former ambassador to Damascus, have unequivocally stressed that it is precisely the maintenance of Bashar Al-Assad that reinforces the jihadists. A great mystery remains about this plan: will Mr. Obama continue with, shall we say, his highly suspect behavior, to the point of sacrificing the entire region on the altar of an agreement with Iran? For that is the impression he has made so far, even at the risk of giving free rein to radical groups like ISIL.
