(Townhall) What would you do next if you successfully brokered a ‘Neville Chamberlin’ style deal with a rogue state that wants to annihilate America and her Middle East allies–especially Israel?
Well you’d downgrade diplomatic ties with the Vatican of course, at least thats what you would do if you were working in the Obama White House.
The Obama Administration has announced that they will shut down the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See and relocate it to a ‘safer location’ on the grounds of the American Embassy in Italy.
Officially, the Obama Administration is explaining the relocation effort as a ‘security measure’ in reaction to the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi (which it claimed was a spontaneous attack because of an anti-Islam video) because ya know, those crazy Vatican Catholics are naturally a militant bunch. Heaven forbid someone makes an anti-Christian video! Whoa-Mama, the whole place could erupt into a deadly string of mass prayers and forgiveness.
The decision on part of the Obama Administration to move the U.S. Embassy is being interpreted by many as a slap in the face to the Vatican, at the very least, it is likely to produce a tension that will lead to a deterioration of U.S./Vatican communication and cooperation.
Adding to the suspicion that the Obama Administration’s decision is primarily political and not based in security concerns, is the fact that the current Embassy has state of the art security, according to former U.S. Ambassador James Nicholson, the current location is highly secure and pivotal to continuing relations with the Holy See.
Obama’s open hostility towards Christians & Jews and support of radical Islamic Jihadists is unfortunately well established in recent years and this latest chapter by the Obama Administration, comes during a time of Obama’s pledge to ‘fundamentally transform America’ into something we just did not know and could never have expected to occur just a short decade ago.
