Biden's goofy Iran policy

 The Federalist Wire:

...

“There is no other way to describe the Obama-Biden Middle East policy except as a dangerous disaster,” Waltz shared during his appearance on Fox News. “I mean, this is an utter calamity. Just a few years ago, under President Trump, ISIS was destroyed, Iran was broke and on their back foot and we had the Abraham Accords, and look where we are now.”

He criticized the administration for not renewing sanctions on Iran’s drone and missile program and failing to enforce oil sanctions. Waltz expressed concern over the perceived weakening of support for Israel and the apparent leniency towards Iran. He concluded by suggesting that a change in leadership is necessary for the United States to regain respect and deterrence from its adversaries.

“I think the fundamental mistake, the fundamental underpinning, has been an appeasement strategy from the Biden Administration that is so focused on what they called de-escalation that it has signaled to the region, and certainly to Iran, that they have room to push, that they can achieve their goals as the Biden administration continues to try to appease and back away and that’s been reinforced,” Waltz continued.

“Just last year we refused to push the UN to renew sanctions on Iran’s drone and missile program. Now, they are literally flying towards Israel.”

Waltz went on to criticize Joe Biden for allowing Iran to continue to spur on their economy by engaging with China and Russia. Meanwhile, he’s given Israel the cold shoulder every step of the way since October.

“We have not enforced the oil sanctions, 90% of their oil is being sold to China. We have backed away from our greatest ally, Israel, very publicly,” Waltz went on to say.

Furthermore, Waltz argues, Joe Biden is letting Iran get away with crimes left and right and emboldening the Iranian radical terrorists to try and get away with more and more. There’s now, with Joe Biden as commander-in-chief, little to worry about coming back in the way of consequences.

“And by the way, we spent the last couple of years begging Iran to get back in to an Iran deal using Russia as an intermediary, and the lead negotiator is now under investigation by the FBI for some type of traitorous activity towards Iran. The list is so long that Iran clearly thinks it can get away with this and sees this as an opportunity.”

Lastly, Waltz pleaded with the nation saying that America absolutely needs someone else as the head of the U.S. military other than Joe Biden.
...

Michael Waltz was a former Green Beret is now a GOP congressman.  I think his criticism is valid.  It is pretty clear that the appeasement of Iran is a rolling disaster.  That the Biden administration let Iran get away with a serious attack on Israel is inexplicable.  The appeasement of the Iranian regime makes no sense.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
