Dennis Blair, Obama’s choice for the director of US National Intelligence, pledged cooperation with Iran “based on mutual interests.” The only common interest between Hussein Obama and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seems to be the destruction of Israel.
The choice of Blair underscores the falsity of Obama’s concern for human rights. During his tenure in Indonesia, Admiral Blair befriended General Wiranto, who commanded the Indonesian Army in a series of war crimes against Christian East Timor. Despite clear orders from President Clinton to request that Wiranto dismantle the Indonesian militia that had perpetrated numerous war crimes, Blair, on the contrary, offered Wiranto US military assistance.
The choice of Blair is equally odd choice if Obama is concerned with transparent government; Blair is being targeted in a major corruption investigation.
