The Lid
.."Many have claimed that Barack Obama is recklessly pursuing a nuclear deal with Iraq because he wants a foreign policy achievement for his presidential legacy. According to Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the US that is true, but not in the way one thinks. He is not trying to preserve his legacy to the American People, he is trying to preserve his legacy to the Muslim world by keeping the promise he made during his 2009 speech at Cairo University in Egypt.
"President Obama's speech in Cairo was historic. No other President has gone to a foreign nation to so publicly throw a strong ally under the bus., he gave unprecedented support for the Palestinians and recognized Iran's right to nuclear power, downplayed the role of terrorism, and made Hamas look like a rowdy Boys Glee Club." . . .
