"Doing Nothing" is about zero evidence for someone being an agent of anyone. As for intervening in Libya vs Iran, there was more international support for the former, while the later is much harder. I'm not arguing for his policy decisions, not even in that narrow area which that last sentence talks about, but there are reasons for that combination other than being an agent of Iran. Saying he's my "lovely Obama" is just silly. I've consistently opposed him on almost all of his policy initiatives, but the fact that someone is bad for the country doesn't mean that every single negative claim made about him is true. Meanwhile Obama has has sat by and smirked while Iran-created and bankrolled Hezbollah has completely taken over Lebanon. Completely taken over is an exaggeration, and exaggeration or not what would you have done? Sent in the marines?

I find Tim to be one of the more thoughtful contributors on SI. He pointed out that an agent of Iran wouldn't allow the sale of bunker buster bombs to Israel. He is 100% correct. Because some of obama's policies can be shown to be friendly to muslim countries, doesn't mean that this is the driving force behind his policies. I have never seen Tim say anything about Obama that would indicate that he is a supporter of the man or his policies. Insulting Tim because he doesn't agree with every letter for your view is not productive. Keep it objective.
