HI Everyone,
Thank you for reading the article and for your comments. I would just like to add a couple of points that did not make it into the column by the publication deadline.
There is another adviser who might raise concerns:
Senator Obama’s nuclear affairs expert, Joseph Cirincione http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/schoenfeld/3547 is quick to blame Israel for all manners of ills and mistakes-from disputing the idea that the Syrian site attacked by Israel in September of last year was a nuclear site (it was); to blaming Israel for nuclear proliferation in the Middle East; to suggesting that Israel be stripped of its putative nuclear arsenal (whose threat possibly saved it from destruction in 1973 and is the only counterweight to the burgeoning nuclear program of Iran).http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/04/obama_keeps_hiring_antiisraeli.html
Also there should be concerns about Senator Obama’s approach towards Iran:
The alacrity which he accepted the findings of the wholly discredited National Intelligence Estimate report that all but absolved Iran of charges that it was developing nuclear weapons should also be cause for concern-after all, politicians across the political spectrum in America and our European allies thought the report was deeply flawed. But not Senator Obama who used the report to help him politically. Indeed, Obama’s views towards Iran are causing consternation with our European friends who have been working to sanction and pressure the Iranian regime to prevent its development of nuclear weapons. These nations fear a President Obama would cause grievous harm to their efforts to pressure Iran. http://hotair.com/archives/2008/06/22/europe-fears-obama-on-iran/
Thanks again,
