Obama NSA Donilon thinks US foreign policy = #DoublePlusGood

Tom Donilon told Charlie Rose that he guesses Iran won't get nukes and if they do, they probably won't act like North Korea and extort money by threatening to kill everybody with said nukes. He also says that Saudi Arabia probably won't try to get nukes from Pakistan in response.

Hence, judging by the Obama admin foreign policy track record, the exact opposite of everything Donilon predicted is probably true.

ICYMI Tom Donilon is the guy that Pat Caddell fingered as the leaker from the White House who got Seal Team 6 killed

President Obama’s team “put a target” on the backs of the Navy SEALs who killed Osama bin Laden, says Karen Vaughn in a video that suggests her son died three months later as a result of White House national security leaks.

  and compromised US intelligence efforts to counter Iranian bomb program by leaking info about  stuxnet:

The information in the 2012 book by chief Washington correspondent David E. Sanger has been the subject of a yearlong Justice Department criminal investigation: The FBI is hunting for those who leaked details to Mr. Sanger about a U.S.-Israeli covert cyberoperation to infect Iran’s nuclear facilities with a debilitating computer worm known as Stuxnet.

What would happen if Iran nuked Israel?

A commenter on Debbie Schlussel's post about the word count of Obama's Cairo speech suggested creating a wordle, so here is one of said speech, fwiw:
I didn't infer the same conclusion that George Stephanopoulos did with Hillary Clinton's interview:Iranian Attack on Israel is Attack on U.S. Hillary said that if Iran nuked Israel, that "there would be retaliation". George tried to nail this jello-ish statement to the wall by prompting, "by the United States," to which Hillary would not explicitly concur. Hence, I inferred that the Obama administration was neither committing to a US conventional, let alone nuclear, response to Iran in such a scenario. I inferred that, at most, Obama might send a strongly worded memo to the UN to tut-tut such an occurrence & then probably write another speech equating the historic suffering of the Jews to the displacement of the Palestinians.



All of the commenters on ABC's board seemed solely concerned about a potential Israeli attack on Iran versus vice versa. From Jeff Olsen:

so we can also say an attack on Iran by Israel is an attack of US on Iran!?

Goerge kept asking if Iran attacks Israel then what, but is seem no one is allowed to ask if Israel attacks Iran then what.

George, for tha last so many years that you remember when did Iran attack any neigboring country?

please be fair.

Golly, Jeff, if you completely ignore all the "freedom fighter" or "manmade disasters" deployed in proxy wars trained & funded by Iran, then I guess you are technically correct, but that seems rather disingenuous. The US is attacked for having the CIA cooperate with Britain's MI6's 1953 overthrow of Iran's Soviet backed government. If the US is held accountable for the CIA's doings, I don't see why Iran should receive a pass for the nefarious goings on of their Persian analog.

UPDATE

NRO's take on Obama's Cairo speech:

President Obama’s Cairo speech was nothing short of an earthquake — a distortion of history, an insult to the Jewish people, and an abandonment of very real human-rights victims in the Arab and Muslim worlds[...]
