Do you believe in red lines?
Much has been made over the past few days about Prime Minister Netanyahu trying to get the 'international community' in general, and the Obama administration in particular, to lay out red lines that Iran would not be allowed to cross. It's probably a waste of time. Inside the Obama White House, there has also been debate about whether Mr. Obama needs to reshape his negotiating strategy around clear “red lines” for Iran — steps beyond which the United States would not allow the country to go. Earlier this year Mr. Obama said he believed that the United States and its allies could not simply accept a nuclear Iran, largely because of the high risk that other Arab states would seek weapons.What could go wrong?
Even if Mr. Obama set a clear “red line” now, its credibility may be questionable. According to a tally by Graham Allison, the Harvard expert on nuclear conflict, the United States and its allies have allowed Iran to cross seven previous “red lines” over 18 years with few consequences.

Obama wants Iran to have The Bomb. This will give him the excuse he needs to become an isolationist at best but more likely, just another shill for radical Islam.
