On the Sunday morning show Media Buzz with Howard Kurtz; Howard, Betsy Woodruff and Julie Roginsky discussed Mike Huckabee's comments regarding President Obama’s agreement with Iran and its development of nuclear weapons. It is reported that he said; “This President’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. He is so naive he would trust the Iranians and he would take the Israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven”, now this statement has triggered a firestorm of attacks on Governor Huckabee.
What is amazing to me is the fact that the 3 people discussing the issue, raised by Governor Huckabee's comment, choose to attack the messenger rather than discuss the real point Governor Huckabee was making. That point being the FACT that this deal GUARANTEES Iran WILL produce nuclear weapons in the near future and the means to deliver them via the missiles they are acquiring from Russia. This "pathway" to a nuclear armed Iran, along with the stated aim of the Iranian regime to "Wipe Israel from the face of the earth", virtually GUARANTEES a HOLOCAUST, but this time the “oven” will be set at over 10 million degrees and millions will be killed in a nanosecond.
The inability of the "News Pundits" to apply critical thinking and deductive reasoning to a collection of facts, statements and the historical record regarding a particular issue continues to amaze me. Gov. Huckabee's prognostication is a reasonable one based on the lessons of history. Adolf Hitler told the world his intentions regarding the Jews and the world; “Deutschland uber alles oder nichts” (Germany over all or nothing), yet many ignored his proclamations disbelieving his stated intentions as real threats, however history has proven those threats were very real. Again the world is facing a nation whose leaders proclaim their intention to destroy Israel and to impose their ideology over the entire world. And yet again there are those in the press who refuse to look at the danger but who would rather attack those who are sounding the alarm as being to "shrill" or "insensitive”. They have no trouble laughing at Neville Chamberlain’s foolish trust of Hitler’s agreement in light of the historical record, but they can’t seem to see the correlation to Obama’s foolish trust of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's promises. Khamenei has proclaimed and documented his intentions regarding the Jews and Israel in his speeches and in his book Palestine, just as Hitler did in his speeches and his book Mein Kampf. Maybe BOTH of these books should be required reading for anyone professing to make “informed” commentary on the statements of political figures regarding issues related to Israel.
I.M. Whamm, let those with wisdom hear.
