Letter | Seeking answers on President Obama’s Middle East actions

Ask yourself why would Barack Hussein Obama the President of the United States (POTUS) negotiate with Iran, the world leader in state sponsored terrorism allowing them to obtain nuclear weapons in 10 years?

Ask yourself why POTUS wants Iran to be a nuclear power, triggering a nuclear arms race in the politically unstable Middle East that will endanger the world?

Ask yourself why POTUS would negotiate with terrorists for the release of an Army deserter for five Al Qaeda leaders, allowing them to return to terrorism to kill more innocents, and yet allow Daniel Pearl and others to be beheaded, saying that “we don’t negotiate with terrorists.”

Ask yourself why POTUS squandered the lives of more that 4,000 U.S. heroes and $2 trillion dollars by withdrawing from Iraq against the advice of all his military advisers, in essence handing the country back to the terrorists?

Ask yourself why POTUS disrespects and meddles in the election of our one ally in the Middle East, Israel, and yet wants to negotiate with our sworn enemies, Iran and Syria.

Ask yourself why POTUS is hell bent on a two-state Israel when the Palestinians are aligned with Hamas, who control Gaza and who routinely launch terrorist attacks and rockets into Israel.

Ask yourself why POTUS is going to the United Nations to propose that we withdraw our decades- long opposition to a two-state Israel.

Ask yourself why POTUS refuses to adequately arm the Kurds to fight ISIS?

Ask yourself why POTUS will not move in any way against any Muslim country for any reason and yet will betray Israel at every turn.

Ask yourself why POTUS is set against and vetoes every proposal that would make the U.S. energy independent from the Middle East.

Come to any conclusions?
