Dem think tank secret email: ‘All hands on deck’ to sell Iran deal to public

By Adam Kredo Published November 12, 2014 Washington Free Beacon

A leading liberal think tank in Washington, D.C., has begun enlisting its associates in an “all-hands-on-deck effort to support” the Obama administration as it seeks to ink a nuclear deal with Iran by the end of the month, according to emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Truman National Security Project, a nonprofit think tank with ties to the administration, is assembling a “crack team of writers” to flood national and local media outlets with articles supporting the White House’s efforts before the details of a final nuclear deal have even emerged, according to internal emails sent by the organization to its listserv.

“Our community absolutely must step up and not cede the public narrative to neocon hawks that would send our country to war just to screw the president,” Graham F. West, Truman’s writing and communications associate, wrote in a recent email to the organization’s listserv.

I assume by that they mean the flying monkeys of the press.

I wonder why they feel the need to “sell” it to us. I thought our opinion didn’t matter and we are all just too stupid anyways.

The line “send our country to war” is a straw man argument, because it asks the reader to assume that a U.S.-Tehran war is the only logical result of the lack of an agreement, when, point of fact, many options remain, across the globe, on the table.

The fact that the salesmen are already being lined up and given their marching orders is more evidence that the administration cares far less about the substance of any deal than merely having the supposed “diplomatic achievement” of making the deal.

No surprise there, with a POTUS that is all show and no substance.

I'm afraid in the end it will come down to violence to stop these people.

And I don't mean the Iranians.

You need to be concerned about the Democrat Party. They can do more damage to you than Iran ever can.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Tweets Attacks On US, Israel

11/11/2014

A U.S.-sponsored agreement on Iran’s use of nuclear energy may be near, but that hasn’t stopped Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from assailing Israel and the United States on Twitter.

On Tuesday, Khamenei linked to a series of past statements on Facebook, contrasting the U.S., “the only nuclear #criminal in the world,” with Iran’s allegedly “peaceful use of nuclear energy,” and stating that “#Iran considers the use of nuclear, chemical and similar weapons as a great and unforgivable #sin.” (RELATED: Iran’s Supreme Leader: Jihad Will Continue Until America Is No More)

This comes just days after Khamenei casually asked his Twitter followers: “how can #Israel be eliminated?”

This deal truly is the “what difference does it make”.
The towelheads are gonna do what they want until somebody stops them via armed intervention.
