Iran: Miltary Sites Off-Limits to Inspectors
Commentary Mag. ^ | Michael Rubin

Posted on 04/09/2015 6:27:06 AM PDT by nuconvert

President Barack Obama called the framework agreement Secretary of State John Kerry and other representatives of the P5+1 reached in Lausanne “historic.” Alas, as time passes and more is learned about the agreement and Iran’s understanding of it, the more it does seem to be “historic,” but for all the wrong reasons.

-excerpt-

Much of the work Iran conducted on military dimensions of a nuclear program occurred in Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities and on their bases.

Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehqan today said that the Lausanne Framework does not commit Iran to provide international inspectors access to such military facilities. From Fars News:

Iranian Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan has rejected reports on inspection of the country’s military facilities being included in the recent deal...Dehqan said, “Such actions do not serve national interests, but in fact set the ground for enemy’s excessive demands… The Supreme Leader’s, the government’s approach and the determination of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear negotiating team together do not allow the other party to impose anything on the Iranian nation.” ...inspection of military facilities is a red line and no inspection of any kind from such facilities would be accepted.”

Obama was accused by France of negotiating FOR the mullahs.

Now it appears accurate.

Obama has AGAIN worked against America for Islamic terrorists
... while the “US” Congress (EXEMPT)
hides to help every treason
by the Army of Hasan, Bergdahl and Obola (undocumented).

Face it. Obama has accepted the argument that Iran wants and needs nuclear weapons for defensive purposes. No nuclear armed nation has suffered a large conventional invasion, lost territory or been forced into an unfavorable peace. The Iranians suffered such an invasion in 1985 and took over 850,000 causalities. He dismisses the apocalyptic anti Israel, anti American rhetoric as a mere ploy to seize the mantle of Islamic leadership and to silence Sunni objections to their nuclear ambitions. He does not wish to engage the Iranians militarily almost under any circumstances.

Needless to say the glaring flaw in this argument is that Iran is being governed as a theocratic dictatorship. Bizarre, medieval, lunatic mullahs make the final decisions and have enough thugs to keep them in power. If these cult like people who claim to love death actually obtain nuclear weapons, there can be no certainty that they will behave rationally.

Unfortunately it is a time when the American people are war weary, are tired of foreign interventions that require huge human and material sacrifices and are being led by incompetent , short sighted leadership.

Remember the days when UN weapons inspectors would go into Iraq, say one thing and the Iraqis would say the opposite? The UN guys would say, “The Iraqis agreed we could look at these sites”. An hour later the Iraqis would say, “You cannot look at these sites”. And it went on like that until they were invaded. That’s how people over there negotiate. It’s not about truth, honesty or even good faith. It’s all a game for them to stall, cheat and obtain what they really want in the end while appearing to want an agreement.

And here comes the fool, playing right into their hands, while we sit on the side line pointing at the obvious. This has North Korea written all over it.

Personally, I'd like a band to play whenever Kerry pipes up about the Iran deal. Maybe the Bonzo dog doodah band...

Whether be believes that or not, Israel’s existence is without question threatened perpetually if the mullahs obtain nuclear weapons. You are correct however if you are also arguing that Obama is a dangerous anti Zionist. He views the world through the prism of perceived racism and views the Palestinians as the “victims” of “white privilege”. Unfortunately this nonsense has traction within the Democratic Party.

Somebody should poll the "Palestinian Arabs" within Israel on what they think of an Iranian nuclear ICBM capability.
