Coming on the heels of the strong endorsement from Lee Iacocca, Mitt Romney received another one today, although it’s far subtler, requiring some interpretation.
According to the New York Times “The United States and Iran have agreed for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran.”
And although the White House denies what’s been printed, it looks to me like the far left-leaning publication is trying it’s best to make the administration appear far more successful in foreign affairs than it actually is.
However, from my point of view, I don’t believe the Iranians are frightened a whit by the incumbent whereas he’s run from every military confrontation he’s been involved in. In fact, our nation’s entire international image has been tarnished unimaginably.
Consequently, I think that by agreeing to private negotiations, Iranian leadership hopes it helps the incumbent win in November, because they also believe Mitt Romney will quickly step up and confront them militarily if need be.
Additionally, there’s the personal tie between Romney and Benjamin Netanyahu, which is bad news for Iran because while the incumbent’s thrown Israel under the bus and couldn’t care less about it, Romney will reestablish solid, supportive ties in a heartbeat after his election to office.
As a result, regardless of all the hot air to be spewed in Boca Raton tomorrow night regarding the incumbent’s performance concerning foreign affairs, the Iranian’s have pretty much summed up what they think. And their answer is that keeping the incumbent in office is the best thing that can happen for them and their desire to attain nuclear military strength.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
