MITTEN$ HAS ANOTHER FAIL, THIS TIME IN THE WSJ

He may not have personally written this WSJ op-ed but his name is on it so I'm going to go over it very carefully.

- In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has come to power, and the country's peace treaty with Israel hangs in the balance. 
It's true that the MB has come to power, FALSE that the peace treaty with Israel hangs in the balance:

Egyptian President Morsi reassures Israel that peace treaty is safe
During an interview with Reuters, Egypt's new Islamist president vows to pursue a 'balanced' foreign policy.

-And in Iran, the ayatollahs continue to move full tilt toward nuclear-weapons capability, all the while promising to annihilate Israel.
There is no evidence that they are moving "full tilt" toward a weapon:

American officials insist that Iran’s progress has been halting at best, and the report also shows that despite Iran’s repeated boasts, it is still having trouble deploying significant amounts of next-generation equipment to make fuel. The United States also argues that Iran’s program has a number of vulnerabilities should it decide to develop a bomb. American intelligence officials say they do not believe Iranian leaders have made that decision, though Israeli and British intelligence disagree.

-These developments are not, as President Obama says, mere "bumps in the road." They are major issues that put our security at risk.

More BS from Mitten$, starting with a smear of Pres. Obama:

KROFT: Have the events that took place in the Middle East, the recent events in the Middle East given you any pause about your support for the governments that have come to power following the Arab Spring?

OBAMA: Well, I'd said even at the time that this is going to be a rocky path. The question presumes that somehow we could have stopped this wave of change. I think it was absolutely the right thing for us to do to align ourselves with democracy, universal rights, a notion that people have to be able to participate in their own governance. But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because, you know, in a lot of these places, the one organizing principle has been Islam. The one part of society that hasn't been controlled completely by the government. There are strains of extremism, and anti-Americanism, and anti-Western sentiment. And, you know, can be tapped into by demagogues. There will probably be some times where we bump up against some of these countries and have strong disagreements, but I do think that over the long term we are more likely to get a Middle East and North Africa that is more peaceful, more prosperous and more aligned with our interests.

-Since World War II, America has been the leader of the Free World. We're unique in having earned that role not through conquest but through promoting human rights, free markets and the rule of law.

We didn't promote human rights in Iran or the Phillippines or Spain or most of South and Central America.

-He dismissed Israel's concerns about Iran as mere "noise" that he prefers to "block out."

Pres. Obama merely stated the the interests of the United States comes before any outside pressure.

-In this period of uncertainty, we need to apply a coherent strategy of supporting our partners in the Middle East—that is, both governments and individuals who share our values.

We can have partners who do not support our values and the most relevant case is that of Iran which helped us in the early stages of the Afghan war.
