Hey, Obama! Wanna Be A Success? Easy!

[Boreas]

Just bomb Iran!

This isn't coming from some obscure whack job blogger but from none other than Daniel Pipes in the National Review. Pipes was appointed to The United States Institute for Peace by G.W. Bush.

So, Obama should start a third war to boost his numbers in the polls. The cyinicism and callous bloodthirsty political opportunism that motivates these people beggars belief. They will destroy this country.

Here's the intro to the article:

How to Save the Obama Presidency: Bomb Iran

I do not customarily offer advice to a president whose election I opposed, whose goals I fear, and whose policies I work against. But here is an idea for Barack Obama to salvage his tottering administration by taking a step that protects the United States and its allies.

If Obama’s personality, identity, and celebrity captivated a majority of the American electorate in 2008, those qualities proved ruefully deficient for governing in 2009. He failed to deliver on employment and health care, he failed in foreign-policy forays small (e.g., landing the 2016 Olympics) and large (relations with China and Japan). His counterterrorism record barely passes the laugh test.

This poor performance has caused an unprecedented collapse in the polls and the loss of three major by-elections, culminating two weeks ago in an astonishing senatorial defeat in Massachusetts. Obama’s attempts to “reset” his presidency will likely fail if he focuses on economics, where he is just one of many players.

He needs a dramatic gesture to change the public perception of him as a light-weight, bumbling ideologue, preferably in an arena where the stakes are high, where he can take charge, and where he can trump expectations.

Such an opportunity does exist: Obama can give orders for the U.S. military to destroy Iran’s nuclear-weapon capacity.
