We powerless people can make statements all day long; no one will hold us to it. But President of superpower statements are measured word by words. Last year every one was under impressions that there are deadlines for Iran; end of year was the deadline.
I read the analyses by small educational organizations of Iranian people known by name of "Jaff Sassani". They were saying that the disagreements between Iranian Mullahs are false. They are saying that there are no differences between Former Iranian President Seyed Mohammad Khatami and the current President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They are saying the game was to fool USA and Israel. Why they are saying that?
US Governments are spending billions of dollars on intelligence gathering.They have countless advisers. Compared to small Iranian educational organizations what do they know? US Governments, with all the resources, do not know what Iran does, but this small organization does. How about Mossad of Israel, they are supposed to be aware of everything which goes on in Middle East at least.
There is one difference between this small organization and those two powerful organizations. This small group will sit down to read about the Mullahs' beliefs but those two powerful organizations are very proud because they know everything going on in the worl--in their minds.
The year was 1985, the former National Security Advisor to President Ronald Reagan, Robert MacFarlane slipped off secretly to Iran in 1985 to barter arms for hostages without notifying the secretary of State {Mr. McFarlane} who was vigorously against the idea. He was tricked then by former Iranian President Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Refsanjani. After it failed and disclosed. Mr. Refsanjani was laughing and said they (The USA) has been tricking people for too long. Let's trick them and laugh at them any way we can.
This will take us back to President Obama. Who advises him to scare Iran by making impressions that the end of year is the deadline for Iran? Then what?
There are reasons the people call former President Bill Clinton "Slick Willy" because he was careful with his statements.
President Obama should be very careful from now on because his credibility is in jeopardy already. The people's presumptions are very important. The President has to be careful, otherwise the international communities are not going to take him seriously.
President Obama is working on his own credibility in home. He is hoping that the public will believe what he wants to accomplish.
President Obama now needs the same thing with regard of his own foreign policy agenda.
In conclusion, please make sure what you are saying when making any statements. You made it to the top, now the downward is not you alone.
In the end, I wish you success to bring back middle class on board and make Iran to read you out better.
