EXCELLENT – AT 9:35 A.M. ET:   We reported last night that Saudi aircraft are in action over Yemen, trying to reverse the takeover of that country by pro-Iranian militias.  Saudi Arabia sees Iran as a dire threat.

The Times of Israel has done an excellent analysis of the new relationship between the United States and the Mideast, and it is chilling.  It is a story of betrayal of old allies, and stark appeasement of Iran, one of the most dangerous countries on Earth.  Here is the heart of the piece:

Decision makers in Israel have come to an understanding that the Americans have no intention of imposing demands on Iran with regards to halting military operations and even terrorist attacks in other countries as part of the agreement over Tehran’s nuclear program.

But Israel’s concerns regarding the Houthi takeover of Yemen are nothing compared to the profound discontent of Riyadh and other Arab countries, in light of Iran’s rampage throughout the Middle East and the blatant inaction on the part of the US.

The outcome of the Saudi military operation may not be decisive, but reflects much Saudi, Jordanian and Egyptian frustration. The anger of these regimes is not directed at Iran, which is more or less engaged in the kind of hostile activity expected of it, but mainly at Washington.

It is slightly hard to believe, but at a time when the White House is intensively negotiating with Iran in an attempt to reach an agreement on the nation’s nuclear program withing the next five days, the Shiites in Tehran have helped topple a majority Sunni regime and made significant territorial advances.

Yemen is a state with a long and unmanned border with Saudi Arabia, Iran’s number one regional rival. Yet Washington remains silent.

Yes, Saudi Arabia and the US claimed the overnight operation in Yemen was carried out with intelligence assistance by the Americans, but Arab leaders and decision makers in Israel are still struggling with the White House’s insistence on demonstrating exceptional weakness in its ongoing talks with Tehran.

The expectation by Sunni Arabs and Israel is that the world’s major powers will at least try to pressure Tehran to halt its military operations in a variety of destinations in the Middle East, as part of any future agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.

Such pressure against Tehran over its involvement in Yemen or Iraq, such as leaving economic sanctions in place, could inspire the ayatollahs to reconsider their advances in the region.

But for now, under the White House’s zero action policy, Iran can continue doing whatever it wants without having to miss a beat.

COMMENT:  That says it.  Perhaps, someday, probably when it's too late, we can get elements of the mainstream media to do their jobs and tell us who Barack Obama really is, where his real loyalties lie, and why so much of his life has been blocked from public view.

There were grave questions about Obama raised in 2008.  They were either ignored or ridiculed.  We are starting to pay the price.  That price will only increase over the years.
