Applauding Circus Monkeys

POTUS definitely knows more than we do. Watching what he does and says is like watching an iceberg that's 90% under water. Much of what the POTUS knows, we wouldn't want to. Most of us are happy enough just to know that POTUS will take care of it in our stead. Unfortunately, this particular POTUS has already said enough to put us on guard. Many suspect a secret agenda. POTUS appears unconvincing when he tells us that everything will turn out alright. For one thing, his methods are different. No American president before him has ever gone around apologizing. It's something we're not used to. No American president before him has spent so much money in so little time. Again, it's not something we're used to. So, we pay a bit closer attention. But, darn it; we forgot to bring our under water goggles! We just can't quite see what's going on down there. So we start imagining all kinds of sea monsters and things.

Personally, I believe this Iran nuclear thing is bigger than Obama. He was given the announcement to read to give him confidence; to allow him to be a part of something in which he had no hand. Don't forget, the U.S. still has brand equity. What I'm saying is that decisions have already been made by the grown-ups as to how to handle Iran. Obama is not considered to be a grown-up; he's looked at the same way one looks at a puppy.

I believe that something is about to happen. Somebody will take out Iran's nuclear facilities. It might well be Israel (with the tacit approval and support of everyone including the Saudis and Egypt). The Russians too might be on board. This is why the announcement now. Like John says, they've known about it for months, if not years. They're getting ready to strike; they're playing us like Stradivarius violins; they're preparing us. Biden hinted at it back during the campaign. ...and we'll all be applauding like circus monkeys when it happens; and POTUS will get blamed if it fails.
