Just another extension of Iranian power over the Middle East. They've got their proxy armies of Hezbollah and Hamas controlling Lebanon and Gaza, their bosom ally Assad in Syria, the Iraqi Shia will give them Iraq, and now the Islamists in control of Turkey have thrown that country into the Iranian camp.

The only powers standing in the way of complete Iranian hegemony are Israel and the US forces. And that's where the nukes come in.......

Sure is a good thing Obama didn't accept any campaign donations from the Middle East.

They were once a secular nation with a secular, freedom loving, pro democratically elected President. But we didn't like him, so we ousted him and installed the Shah and the SAVAK.

Even better thing that our country hasn't spent a half century meddling in their politics to begin with!

If you think Obama was the first to take donations from the middle east you haven't been paying attention.
