Obama Set Middle East on Fire by Siding with Iran
RUSH: The Middle East has exploded yet again, and I'll tell you why. I'll sum all this up very quickly, the details to come later. But I guess the simple explanation... You think that the reason the Middle East has blown up is because the Saudis decided to execute 47 people, one of them some revered, respected sheik.
And while that's a factor, that's simply the public excuse. What really has the Middle East on fire is Obama and his decision to sidle up with the Iranians and picking that version of Islam, Shi'ite versus Sunni. That has spooked the Saudis like you can't believe. I mean, we have always... I mean, the Saudis are no great shakes, but they have been always been our ally, the lesser of two evils, more cooperative. Take your pick. I mean, there's not a gold star among 'em, but never have we allied with Iran before. Never in the modern era.
Since Ruhollah Khomeini back in 1979, we have never aligned with Iran until Obama came along. And that's one of the reasons the Middle East is continuing to explode and be a flame.
