Why Obama will open a US embassy in Iran

What’s next after the Obama administration’s opening to Cuba? Why, an embassy in Tehran, of course.

On Aug. 14, in a ceremony replete with pomp and circumstance, Secretary of State John Kerry presided over the formal re-opening of the US Embassy in Havana, Cuba. The occasion marked the culmination of nearly two years of quiet diplomacy between the White House and the Castro regime.

The initiative had been launched following Kerry’s fall 2013 address before the Organization of the American States, in which he had announced with great fanfare that the “era of the Monroe Doctrine is over.”

That pronouncement — intended to reassure regional powers that America’s sometimes-heavyhanded approach to countries south of our border was a thing of the past — touched off a series of negotiations with Havana, during which the Obama administration formally abandoned more than half a century of established US policy toward the island nation in favor of a diplomatic opening.

0bama is so self-absorbed in the vision of his own greatness, and for his hatred of America that this is not such a far-fetched ideal for him.

Insanity to us.

Maybe John Kerry can be the first ASSador - they can throw pens and pencils at him all day long while he plays Pete Seeger music on his guitar.

It is still hard to believe that Obama was twice elected president. The true cost of this national blunder has yet to be felt, but it certainly will. There is always a price to pay for stupidity and we are going to get a huge bill for it.

Oh there are Constitutional provisions to stop them, just no one with the gonads to do it.

Obama will do whatever his blackmailers tell him to do.

He is compromised.

“Those who ignore history are dammed to repeat it” George Santayana.

In May 2001 Fidel Castro during his visit to Iran addressed the Iranian students at University of Tehran with words that are chilling when read in light of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

According to news reports, during the visit Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei “assured Castro that Iran and Cuba can defeat the U.S. hand in hand,” to which Castro agreed, adding that America was “extremely weak today,” and that “we are today eyewitness to their weakness, as their close neighbors.”

At Tehran University he stated to the thunderous applause of students and faculty, (AFP, May 10, 2001) proudly proclaimed that “Iran and Cuba reached the conclusion that together they can tear down the United States.” (IPS, May 10, 2001)

As an irony of history the words of Fidel Castro in May 2001 were prophetic, in the short period of 14 years, and at the time, we are witnessing an American president that dishonored the United States by unconditionally surrender to the two main sponsors of terrorist in the world, Iran and Cuba. Thanks to Obama’s treason, the American taxpayers will play the role of sugar daddy to keep afloat the Cuban Stalinist regime, a role played before by the Soviet Union and Venezuela that brought both of them to their bankruptcy.
American should be concerned that Obama is embracing a sworn enemy of U.S. that tried to nuke NY and Washington and bomb Macy’s Bloomingdale and NY Central Station on Black Friday 1962, an attack, if no were for Hoover’s FBI, the Cuban terrorist attack would have killed more people than the Islamic attack to the NY twin towers in 9/11.

The hatred of the Castro brothers against U.S. have not diminished in spite of comrade Obama’s embrace. There are in Cuba an advanced spy station operated by the chicoms, and another by the Russian that was closed after the dismembered of the Soviet Union and is now being modernized by Putin. Perhaps many of the hacking and cyberattacks are coming from those bases.

After surrender Alisnkist Obama and Hanoi Kerry to the mortal enemies of U.S, the opening of the Tehran embassy will follow the opening of U.S. Havana embassy.

"Why Obama will open a US embassy in Iran"

Because the Iranians haven't taken enough U.S. hostages over the years.
