Treasury Dept Accuses Iran of Working with Al Qaeda: Obama Rejects Sanctions
Treasury Dept Accuses Iran of Working with Al Qaeda: Obama Rejects Sanctions, Front Page Magazine, February 7, 2014
(Iran “deal” skeptics are as bad as climate change deniers. Besides, the Obama Administration has ceased adding al-Qaeda leaders to the “kill list” and it has been suggested that “The decision to define al Qaeda down to irrelevancy seems to be part of the administration’s policy of declaring victory and going home.” Iranian nukes? Why not? — DM)
This is coming from inside Obama’s own administration. It’s not Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld talking. And still Obama insists on pandering to Iran, letting it go nuclear and accusing skeptics of seeking war.
The Obama administration charged that Tehran has allowed senior al Qaeda members operating from Iranian soil to facilitate the movement of Sunni fighters into Syria.
The allegation by the Treasury Department on Thursday would suggest that elements of Iran’s government or military were at least tacitly supporting the opposing sides of Syria’s civil war.
Iranian officials denied the accusations, saying Washington was harming diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the international standoff over Tehran’s nuclear program.
This is Iran’s Get Out of Jail Free card for everything. “You’re damaging the diplomatic effort.” This is why Iran is playing out the diplomatic game because it knows that the Chamberlains don’t have the guts to end the diplomatic hoax no matter what it does.
The Iranian government is Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s closest military and diplomatic ally. U.S., European and Arab governments have repeatedly charged Iran’s elite military unit, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, of deploying soldiers to Syria to bolster Mr. Assad’s regime, an accusation Iran has denied.
U.S. officials, however, have intermittently accused Tehran and the IRGC of colluding with Sunni militant groups, who historically are enemies of Tehran’s Shiite government, but also are fighting the U.S. and its allies.
On Thursday, the Treasury Department sanctioned three IRGC officers for allegedly providing support for Afghanistan’s Taliban, a hard-line Sunni group.
Nothing to see here. Just the diplomats of Iran hard at work.

I’ve seen this TV show before, when I was in grade school.
It’s the show about the cowboys stranded in the desert, but one of them suddenly sees a beautiful green oasis and starts walking off across the burning sand under the noon-day sun with a big “I’m saved” smile on his face. The other members of his party tell him there’s nothing there, that he has heat stroke and he’s just seeing a mirage.
That’s Obama, delusional and chasing a mirage, but the Iranians keep telling him how beautiful it is and how cool the water will be once he gets there, all the while with a different kind of smile on their face, a gleeful smile, knowing full well that they’re urging him on to his death and doom.
