The 12th Imam prophecy should be taken into account when discussing future military budgets and current diplomatic overtures towards Iran in general and Ahmadinejad in particular. Let me explain the 12th Imam prophecy that the Shia (Iran) subscribe and the dangers that come with this belief. The Shia prophesies that there is a coming 12th Imam who is the great spiritual savior with the name Abu al-Qasim Muhammad or also called Muhammad al Mahdi. Most accounts of the story say that al Mahdi (12th Imam) went into hiding as a child around the age of five years old in the 13th Century. Ahmadinejad believes that Mahdi is hiding in a well somewhere and will supernaturally return just before the Day of Judgment.
According to Shia Islam, the criteria for the Hidden Imam are as follows: He will be a descendant of Muhammad and the son of Fatima-Will have a broad forehead and pointed nose-Will return just before the end of the world-His appearance will be preceded by a number of prophetic events during 3 years of horrendous world chaos, tyranny and oppression-Will escape from Medina to Mecca, thousands will pledge allegiance to him-Will rule over the Arabs and the world for 7 years-Will eradicate all tyranny and oppression bringing harmony and total peace-Will lead a prayer in Mecca which Jesus will be at his side.
You may be asking yourself why this prophecy is important to the United States and our national security. The importance arises from the fact that the Obama Administration blindly believes that it can negotiate with an apocalyptic leader. President Ahmadinejad and his cabinet say they have a ‘signed contract’ with al Mahdi in which they pledge themselves to his work. What does this work involve? According to their own prophecy, there must be world chaos for the Imam to return. The strides that Iran is making in regards to their nuclear ambitions will soon come to fruition and will then be able to “wipe Israel off the face of the map.” That would be the start of the chaos needed to bring about the stupid kid hiding in the well.
An apocalyptic regime will not negotiate away the very instrument (nuclear weapon) they need to bring about their prophecy. The liberals would have us think that Iran and Muslims dislike Americans because of George W. Bush and his mean policies. Radical Muslims “hate” us because we are not Muslim and it is that simple. Iran will to continue to use their terrorist proxies to attack Americans and Israelis and will most likely provide some sort of WMD to accomplish their work. Mr. Obama should not allow the Iranians to continue to stall a military response on their nuclear complex and that is exactly what Obama is doing with negotiations. Obama and Congressional Democrats are proposing the gutting of the very systems (SDI, F-22) that we will need to protect us now and in the future. The world is entering the most dangerous time in our history with a gullible neophyte at the helm.

Obama's attempt to destroy SDI
March 23, 1983, Ronald Reagan envisioned America with the ability to protect our people and cities with a missile defense shield and was castigated by the left. George W. Bush amped up that vision with funding ($100 billion since '84) and was castigated by the left. SDI has come a long way since the days of Reagan and the testing of the system is getting better as we advance. Candidate Obama stated he would support such a system if it was a "proven" technology. SDI has demonstrated it's worth through many successful tests. Have there been some failures? Yes, as is the case with all new technology.
The left has never been in favor of the United States being truly superior to our adversaries. Last week, President Obama attempted to trade our future missile defense batteries in Europe in the hope that the Russians would help us with Iran. What the hell is he thinking? Why would Russia help us with Iran. Yes, the Russians loath the idea of us having a missile defense shield on their border and in countries of their sphere of influence. Russian imports with Iran are in the hundreds of billions of dollars which would be lost in the event of an agreement with the U.S. This system will have no affect on Russian deterrence as they could easily overcome the "10" interceptors that would be stationed there.
Mr. Obama has shown his willingness to scrap our defense in favor of some good will from the world community. SDI has come a long way since 1983 and we cannot let it go to waste with President Obama's leftist world views. President Reagan refused to negotiate SDI during the Reykjavik summit with Gorbachev but Obama is willing to just give it away. I sure miss Ronald Reagan.
