On November 12, 1936,
Winston Churchill said:
Two things, I confess, have staggered me, after a long
Parliamentary experience, in these Debates. The first has been the dangers that
have so swiftly come upon us in a few years, and have been transforming our
position and the whole outlook of the world. Secondly, I have been staggered by
the failure of the House of Commons to react effectively against those dangers.
That, I am bound to say, I never expected. I never would have believed that we
should have been allowed to go on getting into this plight, month by month and
year by year, and that even the Government's own confessions of error have
produced no concentration of Parliamentary opinion and force capable of lifting
our efforts to the level of emergency. I say that unless the House
resolves to find out the truth for itself, it will have committed an act of
abdication of duty without parallel.
The situation is dire.
People who have no clue about Shi’a eschatology and the Twelvers have just
negotiated a deal which leads to nuclear war. Who says it would? Scholars of
Islam like Bernard
Lewis and Raphael
Israeli, former CIA director
James
Woolsey, former CIA spy who
spent 10 years among the Revolutionary Guards, Reza
Kahlili and German scholar Matthias Kuntzel.
The Obama
administration track record in the Middle East is abysmal. The Obama administration
supports the
Muslim Brotherhood,
an anti–Semitic and anti-American organization whose credo is
“Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our
leader; Jihad is our way; and dying in the way of Allah is the highest of our
aspirations."
As Conan Doyle used to
say, when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however
improbable, must be the truth – Obama’s appeasement policy is leading
towards a war. But Obama is supplying Israel with more weapons systems
than any other previous president goes the counter argument. Supplying
Israel with more weapons systems than any other previous president is
irrelevant when Obama at the same time supports the Muslim Brotherhood
across the Middle East and is doing everything to make use of these weapons
systems impossible against Iran.
The Obama
administration’s absurd policies in promoting the Muslim Brotherhood have
created havoc in the Middle East, but even this serial bungling can still be
reversed, as we have seen in Egypt. This will not be possible if Iran
gets the bomb. The damage will be cataclysmic.
Congress should
impeach President Obama on Iran or be complicit in facilitating the next
Holocaust. I am not sure whether Congress would define the incompetence
leading to a nuclear war in which millions would die as an impeachable offense
but Congress should decide whether it fits “high crime or
misdemeanor”. But first Congress must understand the stakes.
Senators, Congressmen
and Congresswomen should ask themselves - what do we know about Shi'a
eschatology, the Mahdi and the Twelvers? Nothing. Did we hold
congressional hearings on Iranian motives? No. Have leading western scholars of
Islam been consulted? Did we hear their views? No.
Unless the US
Congress resolves to find out the truth for itself, it will, to quote
Churchill, have committed an act of abdication of duty without
parallel. Ignorance is not an excuse.
