I have said before that when America has a weak president (or a president that the world considers weak), the world is less safe. We are about to see the fruit of that as we come to the end of American involvement in Iraq.

CNSNews reported today that:

“Similar to previous Iraqi governments, the (Iraqi) government considers Jewish Iraqi citizens who emigrated from Iraq following the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 and in the following decades as having renounced their Iraqi citizenship and the possibility of its reinstatement,” says the State Department report.

“Iraq’s criminal Code 201 stipulates that any person promoting Zionist principles, or who associates himself with Zionist organizations or who assists them by giving material or moral support, or works in any way towards the realization of Zionist objectives, is subject to punishment by death.”

In other words, “moral support” of “Zionist organizations,” “promoting Zionist principles,” or working in any way to achieve “Zionist objectives” remain capital offenses in Iraq. We are not leaving behind a government we can live with.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Iranian-backed Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who controls a sizable bloc in Parliament and half a dozen ministries in the current government, issued a fresh threat against the U.S. on Sunday, warning Washington that his militiamen would target any oversized presence at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad designed as he said to compensate for the full military withdrawal and retain influence in Iraq.

…In a press conference on Saturday Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who owes his second term in office largely to the backing of Mr. Sadr after last year’s deadlocked election, sought to project himself as a strong leader who overcame U.S. pressure to keep some troops in Iraq with full immunity from Iraqi law. Mr. Maliki said it was the immunity issue that scuttled a deal and that any U.S> trainers left in Iraq beyond Dec. 31 would not enjoy immunity.

Moqtada al-Sadr is an Iranian puppet. As soon as we leave Iraq, he will begin to move to turn the country over to the Shiites and eventually over to Iran. In March I posted an article at rightwinggranny about a movie smuggled out of Iran called “The End Is Near.” The movie details the foreign policy ambitions of Iran as they await the coming of the Twelfth Imam. The movie makes it clear that Iraq is going to be part of that ‘last days’ alliance. Because we do not have a determined president and because the American people are tired of war, we are letting Iraq fall into the hands of Iran. Shame on us.
