A Foreign-Policy Disaster
National Review ^ | November 23, 2013 11:59 PM | Daniel Pipes

Posted on 11/24/2013 8:55:54 AM PST by Dave346

“For the first time in nearly a decade we have halted parts of Iran’s nuclear program” announced a jubilant Barack Obama after the news of the just-signed Geneva six-month interim agreement with Iran.

But the American goal for the accord was that the Iranians not “advance their program” of building a uranium nuclear bomb (and perhaps a plutonium bomb too); the apparent deal exactly permits such advancement, plus sanctions relief to Tehran worth about $9 billion.

This wretched deal offers one of those rare occasions when comparison with Neville Chamberlain in Munich in 1938 is valid. An overeager Western government, blind to the evil cunning of the regime it so much wants to work with, appeases it with concessions that will come back to haunt it. Geneva and Nov. 24 will be remembered along with Munich and Sep. 29.

Barack Obama has made many foreign-policy errors in the past five years, but this is the first to rank as a disaster. Along with the health-care law, it is one of his worst-ever steps. John Kerry is a too-eager puppy looking for a deal at any price.

With the U.S. government forfeiting its leadership role, the Israelis, Saudis, and perhaps others are left to cope with a bad situation made worse. War has now become a much more likely prospect. Shame on we Americans for reelecting Barack Obama.

This is what happens when you let Valerie Jarrett run the country.

Even if freepers were smart enough not to vote for "the Messiah," it still is the shame of America to have elected and re elected him.

Conservative commentators need to come right out and say the obvious — Obama sided with Iran, against Israel, in an effort to provide a nuclear weapon to Islamic fundamentalists. That’s what Obama wanted. That’s what Obama got.

People who have their eyes open should be able to see this.

And commentators who say, “tsk tsk, this deal is a disaster” are COMPLETELY missing the point. The deal was masterfully put together. Give Obama credit: he pulled off a coup (in several ways).

As the affirmative action Hitler, Barack Hussein Obama is helping Iran kill Israel’s six million Jews. As Iran will do his dirty work (or so he believes), Obama is leading from behind as is his wont. Whether Israel will be destroyed with Obama’s great assistance remains to be seen.

Our clown president sticks it to Israel hoping to get his ObamaCare debacle out of the news.

I hereby apologize to Israel, on behalf of all REAL Americans. Many Americans suspect President Muhummad Al-Obama is a Kenyan, but few know Valerie Jarret, who secretly negotiated this “deal”, is Iranian. PERSIAN. Check Wikipedia or Google it.

Everything Obama does favors his Muslim friends and is designed to hurt America the country he has vowed to destroy.He wrote about it and spoke about it. Who is surprised?

If I hear more retards calling this a “disaster”, I’m gonna puke all over the keyboard.

It’s not a disaster.

It’s a Democrat/Muslim fulfilled goal. Deal with it, suckers.

Barky thinks that giving nuclear tech to the Iranians is only right, and of course they will not set off bombs here in the USA -after all, he is their friend and totally supports them.

He is in for a rude awakening -assuming any of his minions lets him know it occurred or reads a newspaper article to him mentioning it.

As for bombs in Israel? Israelis don't vote here. And the muzzies have promised him a lovely little paradise all his own.

Go figure. Kerry and Obama negotiated our surrender to Iran, and they even get reparations.

It appears to me his trademark is all over it too.

When Iran (not IF Iran sticks it to the West), by allowing others to do this deal, Obama will be able to say his patented words, "I was not aware....".

It won't work... most liberals are totally clueless about foreign policy, and they just don't care about anything other than the usual agendas (homosexuals, abortions, Justin Bieber, etc.).

Doesn't see that masterful to me. They had some talks. They cobbled together a deal to get Ocare out of the news.
