Syrian government welcomes Iran nuclear deal

Damascus media hails ‘historic agreement’

Damascus welcomed the international community’s nuclear deal with Iran as a “historic agreement,” Syrian state media said Sunday

Iran agreed with the US and five other world powers to a temporary freeze of its nuclear program for six months in exchange for limited and gradual sanctions relief. Iran is a chief backer of President Bashar Assad’s government.

Opposition activists fear the deal will take international pressure off of Iran and embolden Syria’s government to use an even harder hand in the country’s three year old civil war.

For sane persons it is difficult to follow the logic of the Zero/Dim foreign policy. Not two months ago Obama was ready to go to war over a "red line" that had allegedly been passed and Syria (Iran's ally) was threatened with miltary intervention.

Now Iran is treated with kid gloves and given go ahead to enrich uranium (Read and weep: Full text of agreemen and here), and Assad's enemies are left to drift. (Not that they are any nicer, but nuclear bombs are slightly more deadly than chemical warfare agents...).

Of course this is all about disarmement (pace Kerry, Obama, etc) but soon we will have a nuclear Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and maybe Egypt. Gives me real warm and fuzzy feeling.

Wary silence from Arab countries over Iran deal

Gulf States Worry Deal Boosts Iran's Ambitions

Saudis say they would not "sit idly by" if Iran acquired a nuclear weapon. They have signaled they would acquire one, too,

Because that means that Syria will be allowed to get them too... maybe even get them from Iran.

They are all congratulating themselves now. This is going to end very badly for all parties involved.

Obama hates America; and, he doesn't particularly care for the American people. Once you understand this, and accept it, everything he does begins to make sense.

We have never had a President like this before, so, it is no wonder why the American people are baffled by him.

Majority of the American Jews voted for Obama, let them deal with it. Homeland may cease to exist within 50 years. They think the US is safe for them after Israel is gone. Arab Americans due to US immigration laws represent 3 percent of US population, same as Jewish population. At parity, the Dem party already BOOED a party platform that supports Israel. Imagine when the Arab population in US gets larger then Jewish population. Knockout game will be a picnic.

Maybe people should go back to listening to the radio instead of watching TV. Kennedy would probably not have been elected hadn't it been for that first televiosn debate, and who knows, maybe Obama's café-au-lait coloured skin had had less effect on the radio - and things like "I will fundamentally transform America" would have sounded just as threatening as it was.

The Saudis are not happy. The only ones applauding the deal are....wait for it....wait....

Syria, Iran, Russia, China, and the EU.

Good supporters of the US, all of them. /s

A more direct answer to your question:

Saudi Arabia: We Won't 'Sit Idly By' if West Fails with Iran

In all likelihood we will soon have a nuclear Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and maybe Egypt. It won't only be Israel who will feel threatened then. All southern and eastern European countries (Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Roumania, the Balkans), Russia and the Ukraine. A little late to stop things then....

Who effing cares what the Saudis think about it?

One thing for certain is that Americans are done fighting their wars.

Before Iran can get to us, they have to climb thru alot of neighbors, and two oceans. If we do not spend time and resources rebuilding out nation, and resolve our deficit spending, when the dollar collapses we will truly need God’s help.

Too much for this country and our leaders to manage in my opinion.
