Was an Israeli Strike on Iran Preempted by the Geneva Agreement?
Obama Racine Since it was signed a month ago in Geneva, the pact with Iran received much attention in the media, it’s many shortcomings and it’s few (if any) upsides have been rehashed and analyzed over and over again.
The open rift between President Barak Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has received the full attention it deserved, and there are even speculations about a new alliance between Israel, Saudi Arabia.

A six months delay to be exact.
But what was the urgency? Why the hurry? Why not continue the secret talks and allow the sanctions more time to work and soften Iranian resistance?
The answer may reside in the timeline of the recent events in Washington, Geneva, Jerusalem, Cairo, and Riyadh On Dec. 22 2012 a story published in Egypt's Rose El-Youssef An Egyptian magazine, claimed that six American Islamist activists who work with the Obama administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives who enjoy strong influence over U.S. policy and suggested the six turned the White House "from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood." The six include Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development; Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference; Salam al-Marayati , co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC); Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA); and Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.
This rapprochement between the US and the Muslim Brotherhood was, to say the least not the liking of Saudi Arabia. By mid to late 2013, the events in Libya, the White House’s support of Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi in Egypt, and the opposition to the subsequent military take over in Egypt, made it clear to the Saudis that they can not count on US support. If there was any doubt left, about the deep penetration of the Muslim Brotherhood of the White House, the recent revelations by Seymour Hersh puts any remaining doubts to rest. Hersh reported that the White House knew that the sarin nerve gas attack of August 21st in Damascus was perpetrated by al-Nusra (an Al-Qaida affiliated group), and not by Syria’s President Bashar Assad, as was claimed by the administration. The White House knowingly lied to the American people about the perpetrator of the attack in order to use it as pretext to attack the Assad regime. By late September of 2013 Obama was readying to go to war in support of the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated rebels. At the very last moment (perhaps realizing that the truth is bound to come out at some point), Obama decide to seek congressional approval and the American effort in support of Al-Qaida in Syria was ultimately foiled by Russia’s President Vladimir Putin’s agreement with Assad.

Obama Racine
Since it was signed a month ago in Geneva, the pact with Iran received
much attention in the media, it’s many shortcomings and it’s few (if
any) upsides have been rehashed and analyzed over and over again. The
open rift between President Barak Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu has received the full attention it deserved, and there are
even speculations about a new alliance between Israel, Saudi Arabia. As
it turns out, the US and Iran have been engaged in secrete negotiation
for many months, and when one strips away the bells and whistles all
that the agreement with Iran really accomplished was buying some time. A
six months delay to be exact. But what was the urgency? Why the hurry?
Why not continue the secret talks and allow the sanctions more time to
work and soften Iranian resistance?
The answer may reside in the timeline of the recent events in
Washington, Geneva, Jerusalem, Cairo, and Riyadh
On Dec. 22 2012 a story published in Egypt's Rose El-Youssef An Egyptian
magazine, claimed that six American Islamist activists who work with
the Obama administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives who enjoy
strong influence over U.S. policy and suggested the six turned the White
House "from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in
the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim
Brotherhood." The six include Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of
Homeland Security for policy development; Mohammed Elibiary, a member of
the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Rashad Hussain, the U.S.
special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference; Salam
al-Marayati , co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC);
Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America
(ISNA); and Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council
on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships. This rapprochement between the
US and the Muslim Brotherhood was, to say the least not the liking of
Saudi Arabia. By mid to late 2013, the events in Libya, the White
House’s support of Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi in Egypt, and the
opposition to the subsequent military take over in Egypt, made it clear
to the Saudis that they can not count on US support.
If there was any doubt left, about the deep penetration of the Muslim
Brotherhood of the White House, the recent revelations by Seymour Hersh
puts any remaining doubts to rest. Hersh reported that the White House
knew that the sarin nerve gas attack of August 21st in Damascus was
perpetrated by al-Nusra (an Al-Qaida affiliated group), and not by
Syria’s President Bashar Assad, as was claimed by the administration.
The White House knowingly lied to the American people about the
perpetrator of the attack in order to use it as pretext to attack the
