NBC's Engel: US allies fear Obama admin leaking information to Iran
[Hotair] Initially, this looked like material for an update on my earlier post regarding the Saudi-GCC coalition and its decision to work around Obama, but it deserves its own thread for a couple of reasons. First, Engel reported this for NBC, and on MSNBC, the "Lean Forward" cable channel that usually acts as a clearinghouse for Barack Obama apologists (and the occasional slam on Middle America). Engel's not among the apologists; he's a first-class foreign correspondent whose reports follow no partisan agenda, and whose sources have usually provided him with highly accurate reporting.
I wonder if ValJar has a red phone that connects to Tehran...
More importantly, Engel's report advances this to an allegation of betrayal, not just incompetence. Clearly, Saudi Arabia has little confidence left in the Obama administration; that much is evident from their actions to cut the US out of the loop on this coalition. Engel's report strongly suggests that it's not just incompetence that has the Saudis and other US allies rattled, but a suspicion that they're being purposefully sold out by Obama to get a deal with Iran that will unleash their ambitions to dominate the region.

#5 Bank on it. Even if O leaves, no Foreign Ministry in its right mind will trust State with any info. Sharing with Klingons will be dubious at best. I suspect their foreign contacts are going to dry up rather quickly and any 'info' passed will be of limited value if not suspect from the start.
