Obama may or not be a fool when it comes to foreign policy, but the trap set up for Israel hasn’t been planned by him. It has probably been planned for a long time by the State Dept and other US enemies of Israel. It was, at least partly, at work already during the Bush administration. Obama probably only gave it the full go ahead and made it a (or the) priority of his administration. After all, one diplomatic way of reaching peace with an enemy is giving him what he wants (or what one thinks he wants). Obama, the State Dept, Carter, Walt and Mearsheimer and many others believe that what Iran wants is (only) Israel’s head on a platter. And they’re doing their best to give it as soon as possible, and to serve it hot.
