U.S. Government Shut Down Benefits Iran, Disadvantages Israel

John Kerry said the following foreign policy efforts were among those that would be affected by the shut down:

• delays in security assistance for Israel
• nearly all staff suspended at the treasury department's Office of Foreign Asset Control, which monitors sanctions on states like Iran

The Secretary of State warned of the consequences if the shutdown became longer term.

Ooo, scary.

Notice how the Obama admin's general leanings--bending over backwards for the mullahs and shafting Israel--remain the same whether or not the government is operational.
