I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Iran is imploding.

So, what does the Feckless Administration do?

Fire the Special Envoy to Iran, of course:

Dennis Ross, who most recently served as a special State Department envoy to Iran, will abruptly be relieved of his duties, sources in Washington told Haaretz. An official announcement is expected in the coming days. …

For a variety of reasons, it seems, but speculation is because Iran refused “to accept Ross as a U.S. emissary given the diplomat’s Jewish background as well as his purported pro-Israel leanings.”

Ed at Hot Air sums it up:

At the moment when a little pressure on the Iranian regime could produce significant change, Barack Obama seems to want to go out of his way to mollify the Iranians. The fact that Ali Khamenei rejected Ross should make his star shine a little brighter for Iranians in the streets, if they’re inclined to notice it at all. With the Guardian Council backpedaling from an electoral disaster, we should not be anxious to provide them succor. Instead, the Obama administration should have shown some resolve.

Show some resolve? Why start now? The only real enemies out there are Republicans, remember?

He continues:

And are we supposed to believe that the Obama administration was unaware of Ross’ views on Iran before appointing him to the post? Either they’re incompetent, Ross is dishonest, or they’re retreating. There is no third option.

My money is on incompetent. But only because past history is the best indicator of future activity, as my HR manager used to say.

Via Hot Air, obviously.
