Netanyahu catches Obama in Iran-nuclear flip-flop
Jerusalem Post ^ | 31 Mar 2015 | Herb Keinon

PM points out elements "apparently" in nuclear deal that Obama said last year are things that Iran does not need in order to have a peaceful program.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's pre-election flip flop on a two state solution, which he later walked-back, will pale in comparison to a US presidential zig-zag if Netanyahu reported accurately to the Knesset on Tuesday on what will be in the nuclear accord being negotiated in Lausanne.

It was US President Barack Obama who said that each of those elements was not needed for a peaceful program.

Obama, during a question-and answer session at the Saban Forum at the Brookings Institution in Washington in December 2012, said the following:

“In terms of specifics, we know that they don’t need to have an underground, fortified facility like Fordow in order to have a peaceful nuclear program.

“They certainly don’t need a heavy-water reactor at Arak in order to have a peaceful nuclear program. They don’t need some of the advanced centrifuges that they currently possess in order to have a limited, peaceful nuclear program,” Obama said at the time.

Don't know whether it was wise to say this on the eve of the conclusion of the nuclear talks. When Zero has been told about Netanyahu's statement, and once he has stopped chewing up the carpet, he will probably tell Kerry to accept everything the Iranians demand and then some.

Obama wants an agreement at any cost.

The "We The People" guy could just as well be Israel.

Yeah, I’m afraid that cartoon reflects reality a little too closely.

Branco *really* captures the smaller detail in the cartoon. Note he does not depict the captain as banging like a maniac for dear life, just almost a pleasant knock. This reflects the US public with a nonchalant attitude to our demise - the slow turning up of the water on us frogs.

I have a brother & other family like Obama, not politically, but psychologically. Untrustworthy, selfish, cruel, petty, arrogant. The fact that Obama, who is sick and evil, is POTUS is a nightmare. I pray that Bibi realizes how disturbed Obama is.

“Netanyahu catches Obama in Iran-nuclear flip-flop”

Well, he’d have to be the one who caught the flip-flop. Because our self-proclaimed “working for you” press would never do this. They’re paid off and intentionally blind.
