Hiroshima: Obama decries nukes while encouraging nukes



How does an ideologue best make his case against nuclear proliferation in the midst of history's most dangerous political atmosphere because of rogue nations possessing nuclear potential? This oxymoronic narrative of a nuke-free globe has been President Obama's agenda as long as he has occupied the Oval Office and, disastrously, the media bought it and did everything possible to sell it to the American people. Precisely to further this wrongheaded agenda, the president has added to his scheduled Asian jaunt a visit to Hiroshima, site of the WWII-ending flight of the Enola Gay that delivered the world's first atomic warhead in conflict.
"Of all the threats to global security and peace, the most dangerous is the proliferation and potential use of nuclear weapons. That's why, seven years ago in Prague, I committed the United States to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and to seeking a world without them."
Despite his op-ed in March of this year (quoted above) complaining about the perils of nations continuing to stockpile nuclear arms, Obama has made every effort to destabilize the political plain by empowering Iran to gain nuclear capability, and overlooking North Korea's established capacity. It is the blatant counter-productivity of pressing forward with the Iran Deal that has left Americans -- and anyone with a smattering of common sense -- in something of a quandary regarding the true intentions of White House policy. The administration denies this is another leg on Obama's unending apology tour, but the general purpose of the president's special side trip to Hiroshima is difficult to describe as anything less. White House spokesman Josh Earnest insisted there was another reason for the visit... "the president will emphasize Washington's responsibility to lead the world in an effort to eliminate them [nuclear arms]." The irony of the whole exercise stems from Obama's first receiving a Nobel Peace Prize for his intention to rid the world of nuclear arms and the following fact that the president has done virtually everything in his power to achieve the opposite. Case in point--the Iran Deal, which is generally accepted as being no "deal" at all but a major con job.

We have to go no further than the admission of Ben Rhodes, White House foreign policy advisor inexperienced in same but gifted in driving a false narrative, otherwise known as lying. In a New York Times Magazine piece, Rhodes let the cat out of the bag about his role in drafting and selling "narratives." A major one that will haunt the free world for decades to come (should it survive that long) is the aforementioned Iran Deal. Rhodes takes the credit for redirecting the story from the fact that the Obama administration began negotiating with hardliner Ahmadinajad and the mullahs in 2013, to having waited for so-called moderate Rouhani to be elected to office. Amid no modicum of pride, Rhodes allowed that he furthered the White House tale of patiently waiting for Iranian politics to take a turn before pressing ahead with drafting an agreement allowing the Persian state's acquisition of nuclear capability, purportedly for peaceful purposes. He used this analogy to explain the fabrications bled to the press, and thus, the American people, in order to manufacture favorable reception: "So all these threads that the president's been spinning--and I mean that not in the press sense--for almost a decade, they kind of all converged around Iran." The implication being the president's web that Rhodes helped spin was to capture and entangle the people's representatives in a plan to coerce support for a deal that benefitted no one except Iran. A deal that, in truth, further destabilized the whole Middle East and jeopardized Israel, our already beleaguered ally. The contempt that this White House exhibits for its constituents is clarified better each day with contradictions of stated rationale for its foreign policy, which smacks of lacking any policy at all. On the one hand, the president professes disaffection of nuclear armaments but, on the other hand, he gives the keys and gas money to Iran to put their nuclear engine in gear. With leadership like this that is either schizophrenic or pathological, or both, it's no wonder one hand doesn't know what the other is doing, or, worse yet, doesn't care.
