Don’t ever tell a bully you want to be h is
Friend!
Congress is continuing this insane Policy with Iran,
Started By The Jimmy Carter Administration In 1979!
It’s crushed any hope of ever getting Iran to Respond,
Except in Ridicule For what It believes is Our Weakness,
Exploiting it for almost thirty years since the Policy Began.

I assure you that Obama, with his Democratic Congress, will continue this insane policy of Carter if he is elected President, and Israel is going to end up with what Charlie Brown always received in his ‘trick or treat’ b ag on H
alloween, namely, a big hard rock. In any case, in spite of Obama’s endless promises to Israel, they will be left holding the bag between with a rock and a hard place.
This is a terrible election year for me!
Part of me wants to see Obama elected so the Tribulation Period can begin sooner, but the other part of me doesn’t want to see us turn our backs on Israel. If anyone had told me at age 18 I would have this dilemma as an old man in 2008, I would
have thought them to be insane. But I now know that God is going to restore Israel to a greatness of glory she has yet to experience after the great Tribulation Period is finished. Knowing this, I do not want to see America forsake her, even though I also know God is going to deliver her without any ones help.
Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Jeremiah 30:7-10 – Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. [8] For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: [9] But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
[10] Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and
shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
Daniel 2:42 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
Joel 3:10 – Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Zechariah 12:8,9 – In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God,
as the angel of the Lord before them. [9] And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Trying to Be Friends with Iran – Barry Rubin
(Jerusalem Post)
October 7, 2008
On Sep. 29, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said: “I have been involved in the search for the elusive Iranian moderate for 30 years.” Gates then revealed that Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, met top officials of the new Islamist regime in November 1979 to pledge U.S. friendship to the government controlled by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Brzezinski’s position was: “We will accept your revolution….We will recognize your government.
We will sell you all the weapons that we had contracted to sell the shah….We can work together in the future.” The Iranians demanded the U.S. turn over to them the fugitive shah, whom they would have executed. Brzezinski refused. Three days later Iran seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran.
Washington did everything possible to negotiate, conciliate and build confidence. We’ll do almost anything you want, Carter and Brzezinski offered, just be our friend. Far from persuading Khomeini that the U.S. was a real threat, the U.S. government made itself appear a pitiful, helpless giant, convincing Tehran – as Khomeini himself put it – that America couldn’t do a damn thing. So why should we expect such a tactic would work today?
How long does it take to get the message: This is an ideological revolution with huge ambitions to which America is inevitably a barrier. Appeasement, talks, apologies, confidence-building measures won’t convince Tehran that America is its friend, only that it’s an enemy so weak as to make aggression seem inevitably successful.
Gates noted: “Every administration since then has reached out to the Iranians in one way or another and all have failed….The reality is the Iranian leadership has been consistently unyielding over a very long period of time in response to repeated overtures from the United States about having a different and better kind of relationship.”
