Shift in policy? Phone call between Obama, Rouhani (president of Iran)
CNN ^ | Sept 27, 2013 | Chelsea J. Carter

Posted on 09/27/2013 3:25:23 PM PDT by Innovative

President Barack Obama spoke by telephone with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, the first direct conversation between leaders of the United States and Iran since 1979.

Obama believes a comprehensive agreement is possible regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions, telling reporters at the White House that "the test will be meaningful, transparent and verifiable action" and if proven would ease international sanctions in place against Iran.

The news of the historic telephone conversation between the two presidents also played out on Twitter in Rouhani's posts. It was unclear whether Rouhani was retweeting direct messages between the two or curating his conversation on Twitter.

I say cry. It does not have to be Iran, if Obama wants to be friends, they are NOT on our side.

Nuclear talks show US shift from Israel on Iran: Analyst

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/09/27/326396/us-distancing-self-from-israel-on-iran/

“The recent nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers signal a shift in the United States’ policy on Iran, with Washington distancing itself from Israel’s scenario against the Islamic Republic, a political analyst tells Press TV. “

Translation - not that it’s needed — “Obama is throwing Israel under the bus” — except worse.

Obama spoke in Farsi. Did anyone know he speaks Farsi? I doubt that was supposed to get out. He’s muslim to the core.

Obama shows more respect towards dictators than he does Republicans..perhaps leaders of the GOP need to put on a turban and scream Allah Akbar, than Obama will work with them

Obama assisting Iran by buying them more time to develop nuclear weapons. This ‘negotiations with Iran’ bullcrap should yield results about as fast as 0bama’s Benghazi investigation, or IRS investigation, or DOJ spying on Fox News investigation..

We are witnessing the final step in the creation of the caliphate, and as I have said many times, obama has come down squarely in iran's corner. The saudis cannot possibly be happy about this.

It appears to me that since ALL of this is completely out of my hands, I’m choosing to neither laugh nor cry.
I will love those near and dear to me, stay true to what I know is the basic right from wrong, and smile; I know how this story ends, even if the little boy believes differently.

I’m surprised The Won didn’t chase-down the Iranian guy (Rouhani?) at the UN and bow down to him.

He did try — it was Rouhani who didn’t want to talk to him...

Obama gets stood up by Iran’s theocrats

http://dailycaller.com/2013/09/24/obama-gets-stood-up-by-irans-theocrats/

‘Iran’s new president spurned a meeting with President Barack Obama Sept. 24, despite repeated invites from Obama’s staff.’

What did they finally offer him to make him willing to talk to Obama on the phone at least...

The phoniness continues and the media fawns all over it. As usual.

I was talking with a friend today whose son is in the army. We have quite a few young men from our church in the service.

She said morale is SO low in the armed forces. Many of the guys can’t wait to get out. She said in boot camp nowadays, they aren’t allowed to make the guys follow orders. They aren’t getting trained right and it’s turning into every man for himself, there is not the camaraderie of old (well there is as far as the enlisted men can create it, but not as far as the culture instilled from the higher ups.) She was talking about how over in Afghanistan (and probably everywhere) they have to try to follow orders from both their COs and other COs from NATO, sometimes conflicting orders, and trying to sort out what they are really supposed to do is frustrating and dangerous. Then with all the “rules of engagement”, traitorous acts by locals who are supposed to be working with our military and then turn on them, etc. She said it’s just really, really dangerous now, even though an enlisted man’s life is always in danger, at least before you felt that the military had your back. No more.

It made me want to cry - thinking of our guys over there and what they are all going through. She said most of the guys her son knows can’t wait to get out, even though many loved the military and wanted to serve their country, now they just can’t get out fast enough.

It’s just one more thing Obama is destroying. I would hate to think what would happen if we faced a real threat closer to home. I would hope some of the old school military leaders would step up and kick out the new school politically correct brass and bring back discipline and order.

Pray for our troops.
