Charles Krauthammer once again neatly summed up the pending Iranian “deal” by telling viewers Friday on “Special Report with Bret Baier” that the idea that a possible US nuclear deal with Iran is going to solve challenges in the Middle East is “delusional,” but that it is driving the Obama administration’s foreign policy.
 
According to Mr. Krauthammer, "the so-called “legacy deal” will only inflame chaos overseas,” and “The reason that the Saudis didn’t tell us about what they were doing in Yemen is because they are opposing Iran and they can see us handing the region over to Iran in the nuclear negotiations.” 
 
Part of the potential “chaos” Mr. Krauthammer predicts can already be seen to be taking place as noted in an article by Haitham El-Tabei on yahoo.com who writes that, “Arab leaders agreed on Sunday to form a joint military force after a summit dominated by a Saudi-led offensive on Shiite rebels in Yemen and the threat from Islamist extremism.
 
“Arab representatives will meet over the next month to study the creation of the force and present their findings to defence ministers within four months, according to the resolution adopted by the leaders.”
 
Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, told the summit in the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh: “Assuming the great responsibility imposed by the great challenges facing our Arab nation and threatening its capabilities, the Arab leaders had decided to agree on the principle of a joint Arab military force."
 
Now, there are certainly many who believe that the unrest in the Middle-East should be handled by the nations directly involved and therefore, the U.S. has no place intervening, militarily or otherwise. However, it was only a couple of years ago that, rightly or wrongly, America had a significant presence in the region and possessed major influence on social and political events occurring there. And now, today, with chaos throughout the area, the U.S. can’t even prevent Iran from developing nuclear weaponry while the rest of the nation’s scramble to try and save themselves from the coming devastation. Which means that everything fought for and achieved has not only been given away, U.S. foreign policy has gone completely backward.  
 
And now, today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.
 
As can be seen by the weak economy, failed foreign policy and an inability or lack of desire to protect the nation’s borders, among many other shortcomings, the current administration surely hasn’t the capability to govern adequately at all. Instead, self-serving political maneuvering is its only forte, and always has been.
 
In that regard, Bill’s wife has not only never been part of the administration's in-crowd, she’s seemingly disliked overtly.
 
And that’s why, more than probably, the State Department, “released a letter that Secretary of State John Kerry sent to the department's inspector general earlier this week, asking for the review and calling it critical to "preserve a full and complete record of American foreign policy" and for the U.S. public to have access to that information. Among the questions he outlined were how best to retain records in light of changing technology, the agency's global presence and increasing demands from Congress.”
 
At the same time it was announced that, “The full trove of Clinton emails will be published on a website after they are reviewed. She says they contain no classified information. The State Department says emails pertaining to a congressional panel's examination of the deadly 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, will be released in advance of the others.
 
“Kerry also didn't mention Clinton specifically, but noted that officials were "facing challenges regarding our integration of record-keeping technologies and the use of nongovernment systems by some department personnel to conduct official business."
 
So, at present, while there’s no solid indication of any specific action toward Bill’s wife, its more than likely that this is only the first step in setting her up for further investigation in the future. And that would certainly be consistent with the president’s idea of the nation needing “new blood in Washington,” as well as his immense dislike of his former rival for the position of POTUS.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
