Curiously enough for a politician who claimed that he could stop sea levels from rising, Obama was always eager to tether his legacy to his fake deal with Iran.

That legacy is now shattered.

Trump jettisoning the fake deal in his first term was painful enough, but restoring sanctions was a return to a status quo, rather than embracing an alternative solution. And the alternative solution was to take out Iran’s nuclear program or at least, as Israel’s strikes may have done, significantly slow it down.

The Witkoff negotiations showed the enduring power of Obama’s specter to shape our foreign policy on Iran, and Israel’s strikes show the power of an alternative to Obamaism.

Negotiations don’t stop Islamic terrorism. That’s Obamaesque nonsense. Killing them does.
