Obama cousin Odinga is close to Iran
In his press conference on Tuesday,President Obama condemned the Iranian regime’s use of violence to suppress the post-election protests,but he left the door open to a “wait and see”attitude toward whether or not the United States would accept President Ahmadinejad as the legitimate winner of the June 12 election,if that continues to stand as the final verdict of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
Notably,during the press conference,President Obama dodged answering directly a question from Fox News regarding an invitation issued by the State Department for Iranian diplomats to visit U.S. embassies during the Independence Day holiday.
If Obama intends to pursue direct negotiations with the Ahmadinejad government should the post-election violence fail to produce a new election,the administration may well be advised to contemplate how as series of photographs of Obama-supporting Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga and President Ahmadinejad together might impact freedom fighters in Iran as well as the American public.
To explore this question,WND has taken a close look at Kenya.
Examining the extent to which Odinga and Obama have been willing to pursue direct negotiations with Ahmadinejad,WND continues to see a commonality in the foreign policies of both leaders,despite the Iranian regime’s determination to suppress key freedoms within Iran,including the right to a free election.
Even as post-election protests against the re-election of Ahmadinejad continue in Iran,Kenya’s Odinga,a fellow Luo tribe member,who continues to receive the strong support of President Obama,moves closer to Iran.
