NYT: Obama Does About-Face on Netanyahu to Limit Damage to Dems
By Melissa Clyne / NEWSMAX
President Barack Obama is making
overtures to repair his long-strained relationship with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the efforts have more to do with
currying favor with pro-Israel members of Congress and American Jews
than with the Jewish State, according to The New York Times.
"The White House is engaged in an aggressive effort to assuage the concerns of American Jewish groups and pro-Israel members of Congress over the nuclear agreement with Iran, and to limit the potential political fallout for Democrats of what has become a bitter rift in the American and Israeli relationship," according to the Times.
The Obama administration "is nothing if not pragmatic, and the issue on the table now is creating conditions for a reasonable outcome should the Iran agreement be reached," former U.S. Ambassador to Israel and Egypt and Princeton professor Daniel C. Kurtzer told the newspaper.
"There was a moment in the midst of this where you wonder if anger was replacing policy, but they came to their senses and said, 'O.K., anger is not a policy, now we've made our point, it's time to move on,'" he said.
The already tense leaders' relationship further unraveled following Netanyahu's address to Congress on March 3 voicing strong opposition to the Obama administration's proposed deal with Iran.
Just last month, The Wall Street Journal reported Obama succinctly stated that he did not expect a peace accord between the Israelis and the Palestinians to take place on his watch.

Oh My: NYT, Reuters Bombard Clintons With Foreign Cash, Tax Scandals
Guy Benson / Townhall Columnist
Both of these stories broke late last night, lighting up Twitter, and guaranteeing that Team Hillary is about to endure a very unpleasant stretch of news coverage. Each one is very serious indeed, but let's start with the New York Times building on Peter Schweitzer's 'Clinton Cash' reporting with some breathtaking new details about a lucrative deal involving Russia's successful power play on American uranium capacity. I'll let the facts do the talking:
The headline in Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir V. Putin’s latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an era when the newspaper served as the official mouthpiece of the Kremlin: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.” The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain. But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one. At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One. Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The initial Rubio boomlet is still blossoming, according to a fresh national poll. We declared his presidential rollout a success and referenced his rising fortunes earlier in the week, and now Quinnipiac is out with a new nationwide survey that contains more good news for Team Marco:U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida wins the support of 15 percent of Republican primary voters and runs best against Democrat Hillary Clinton, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today. The former secretary of state tops the Democratic field with 60 percent and leads top Republican contenders, except Sen. Rubio, in head-to-head matchups, the independent Quinnipiac University Poll finds. The Republican primary field shows Rubio with 15 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 13 percent and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 11 percent.
No other candidate tops 9 percent and 14 percent remain undecided. Bush tops the "no way" list as 17 percent of Republican voters say they would definitely not support him. New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie is next with 16 percent who give him a definite thumbs down, with 10 percent for U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.Dive into the internals, and you'll find Rubio running basically even (43/45) with Mrs. Clinton in a hypothetical general election match-up, with the presumptive Democratic nominee sitting several points below the 50 percent support mark. In fact, the poll shows Hillary failing to pull away from any of her potential Republican rivals, though she's slightly better positioned against other potential opponents:
45 - 40 percent over Christie; (-5)
46 - 42 percent over Paul; (-4)
47 - 42 percent over former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (-5);
46 - 39 percent over Bush; (-7)
46 - 41 percent over Walker (-5);
48 - 41 percent over U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. (-7)
Boko Haram ‘Re-Brands’ as Islamic State in West Africa

All of these Islamic groups follow the same book, share the same goal, believe most devoutly. This makes sense.Boko Haram Re-Brands as Islamic State in West Africa, CSP, by Nicholas Hanlon, April 23, 2015 ;(thanks to Counter Jihad Report)
There is a lot of relatively good news on the progress of the Nigerian army in it’s efforts to defeat Boko Haram. Here is where all of the nit-picking about the differences between IS and Boko Haram will mean even less. Boko Haram was lionized for it’s ability to take and hold territory. However, because of it’s primary driver as an internationally connected Islamist group that is ideologically driven, it will adapt to a new menu of tactics that resemble Al Shabaab.

Two Lies That Will Come Back To Haunt
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on CPR Worldwide Media cprworldwidemedia.net
“It’s too late for Israel [to prevent an Iranian bomb]. Iran has
crossed all the borders and all the constraints, and it has a first
nuclear bomb in its possession, and maybe more than that.”
- Israeli journalist Shalom Yerushalmi
"As president and as commander-in-chief, I take full responsibility for all our counter terrorism operations including the one that inadvertently took the lives of Warren and Giovanni."
- Barack HUSSEIN Obama at yesterday's press conference
And so the lies and cover-ups coming from this administration continue on...
Two very important recent events have now come to the forefront...one that could affect us all and one where Barack HUSSEIN Obama tries to shamefully blame the death of two hostages on an American military operation.
First the later lie...yesterday during a televised press conference Obama
announced then quickly apologized that this past January a U.S. counter
terrorism operation...an operation where U.S. military drones targeted and destroyed an al-Qaeda
compound in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region...accidentally killed
American USAID contractor Warren Weinstein and Italian aide worker
Giovanni Lo Porto. And then his always obnoxious spokesmouth Josh Earnest followed up with
words to the affect that Obama did NOT "specifically approve" the
operations that killed the American and the Italian, but that the
strikes were within the bounds of "policy guidance."
Did NOT "specifically approve"...thus trying to pass the blame for the two deaths onto the backs of our military...a military whose hands Obama has tied behind their backs each and every chance he gets.
And with Earnest adding that U.S. officials believed with "near certainty" that
NO hostages were at the target site, that the strike was
carried out only after "hundreds of hours of surveillance" on the al-Qaeda
compound were completed, and with "near continuous surveillance in the days leading up to the
operation," let me say this loud and clear...our military does NOT make
these kind of mistakes...period. And Earnest saying that 'officials' are
now conducting a thorough independent investigation of the operation to "ensure" that this type of incident is NEVER again repeated, the fact being oh-so hushed up is that
when American hostage Kayla Mueller was killed in exactly the same way earlier this year, the exact same excuse using the
exact same words along with the exact same promise that it
would NEVER happen again was given.
So this makes both Obama's and Earnest's words NOTHING but even more empty
word to add to their repertoire...accusatory words from this military hating administration...from
a Commander-in-Chief who defames then apologizes for our military every
chance he gets. And this was proven by Earnest's very words that the death of
the hostages "raise legitimate questions about whether additional
changes (to military protocol) need to be made" as in to the protocol for our military launching
counter terrorism operations. But if truth be told what both Obama and Earnest needed to
say...but of course NEVER would...is that the two men died because they did NOT care that they were
in the compound...a compound they needed to destroy to make it appear as if something concrete was being done by this administration in the 'War on Terror' and for
that reason alone...so 'ooops' became their 'mia culpa' de jour.
And isn't it quite odd that this 'supposedly' classified information now
'suddenly' becomes declassified when a political 'shot-in-the-arm' for
the Democrats...for Hillary...is needed.
And, by the way, NO financial compensation now offered by Obama can bring these family's peace for with this administration money is thrown around as a panacea to make all 'problems' just go away. And I just wonder if Obama will also give money to the family of American al-Qaeda leader, Ahmed Farouq, who was also killed in the attack...knowing Obama he probably will...but this money if given will be in payment for Farouq being a martyr for the cause I'm sure.
As for the former lie, most listeners of our Right Side Patriots radio show
know that both myself and my friend and partner Craig Andresen both
believe...and have believed for quite some time... that Iran already is
in possession of a nuclear bomb, and now it seems some in Israel think
so as well and have thought so for quite a few years.
In fact, journalist Shalom Yerushalmi wrote this article's opening quote in the national daily 'Maariv' over two years ago saying that Tehran had crossed all points of NO return and already has its first nuclear weapon, and maybe even had more than one. Also, a source within the Revolutionary Guards Intelligence Operations supposedly said over a year ago that Iran has acquired two nuclear bombs. And when you add in that Middle East specialist and 20-year former CIA Field Operative Clare Lopez of the Center for Security Policy recently said that, “The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) reporting over recent years indicates at a minimum they strongly suspect that Iran already has built nuclear warheads," you just know that all Obama's bloviations concerning this joke of a 'framework' deal are just to secure a much needed political win alone.
And if the above accusations are indeed true...and I believe they are...rest assured that Netanyahu knows this as does Obama, but
the difference is that Benjamin Netanyahu must stop Iran now so that
said bomb is NOT used against Israel while Barack HUSSEIN Obama is
actually helping Iran to do the very thing that Netanyahu fears.
And if truth be told simple logic dictates that Iran does indeed have a bomb but what they need is a delivery system NOT to reach close by Israel but to reach the 'Great Satan'...our beloved United States of America. And with Iran NOT hiding the fact that they have been doing 'business' with North Korea to get such a system, the countdown to a nuclear armed Iran is very close at hand. And while we know North Korean ICBMs are NOT the most reliable 'guidance system-wise'...a few 'tweeks' by Iranian scientists could easily overcome those problems.
So Israel's job...Netanyahu's job...is NOT to prevent Iran from getting what they already have but is to prevent Iran from launching first an attack against them and then against us...and NO amount of sanctions will stop Iran from doing so.
And why do I personally believe Iran already has a bomb...first, Iran
has had 19,000+ centrifuges working to enrich and refine uranium for
years and they continue to do so even with that farce of a 'framework'
deal being worked on and second, quite simply, most high school physics
students can build a weapon of mass destruction with a few parts from a
hardware store, some know-how, and as long as they can find a few pounds
of uranium or plutonium on Ebay (sarcastically said) to fuel it along with getting their hands
on some C-4 to activate the implosion... or as long as you have a friend
in the Muslim Brotherhood who happens to be a president who enables
said building. And surely the Iranians have a few hardware stores, a few
high school physics students walking around, scientists already working non-stop on such, and a direct phone line to America's traitor-in-chief.
Now remember simple physics as per Einstein's formula E=mc² that suggested
it was possible to get 'energy' by what we now call a nuclear reaction
and that the amount of 'energy' needed is quite small even for a nuclear
device. Also remember that just a small amount of 'energy' is needed to
efficiently increase the effectiveness of conventional
explosives...conventional explosives that Iran has long had...
conventional explosives that are still the basis of all nuclear
bombs...and that the small amount of 'energy' needed has long since been
produced and refined by those 19,000+ Iranian centrifuges merrily
spinning away.
And this translates into the only things that Iran has needed all along...a more sophisticated 'implosion' method coupled with a workable delivery system. Increase the effectiveness of conventional explosives by gaining access to uranium or plutonium...which their centrifuges have already afforded them...and the first problem is solved...get a workable ICBM...one probably courtesy of North Korea...on which to mount said bomb...and both Tel-Aviv and let's say New York City or Washington D.C. become awash in radioactive fallout.
So while I could tell you certain specifics of how to build a nuclear bomb I
dare NOT for the obvious reasons that the 'powers that be' will be
mighty unhappy with me, but know that if a high school physics student can build a bomb
know Iran has already built one...and if you think otherwise you are just
sticking your head in the sand hiding from a reality that both
Netanyahu and Obama know well.
So as Barack Hussein Obama continues to hem-and-haw about the
'breakout' time needed for Iran to become a nuclear power...which is NOT the one
year he has so often claimed but which he recently has been forced to admit is but a mere
few months away...that this is NOTHING but an effort to cover his very actions
that have aided and abetted the enemy. But know too that even this is a lie
because the simple facts I've presented show that in all probability that Iran has long had a nuclear bomb and is
close to getting the much needed delivery system on which to place it, and that Obama has known this for quite some time.
Also know that with Vladimir Putin's cleverly telling the world that in six to
eight months Russia will be selling an anti-missile system to Iran the clock has now been set for Israel to go in and clean-up Obama's
mess.
And only when Israel does what we should be doing will all Obama's 'truths' concerning Iran finally be proven to be 'lies'... and hopefully these 'lies' will be the very thing that puts this traitor...along with his equally complicit administration...behind bars for the rest of their miserable lives...and the fanatical islamic mullahs and religious zealots in Tehran will now and forever be rightfully denied the Madhi...their oh-so wanted 'Twelfth Imam.'
And so we have two more dangerous lies told...with one that can affect us all...and Congress still does NOT a thing...and sadly all I can do is sigh...
