The Iran agreement released Tuesday will be parsed and reparsed for months. Can the inspections mechanism really work? How will Iran reduce its enriched uranium stockpile? Is it really wise to legitimize Iran’s ballistic missile program? There are a thousand questions and each side will have different answers. But what are the other implications of what Barack Obama insists is a “historic” deal?
1. Doubling down on the Muslim sectarian divide
Right or wrong, the perception of many in the Middle East is that the region is in the midst of a battle between the Sunni neo-Ottoman Empire and the Shiite neo-Persian Empire. Sounds simplistic, and in many ways it is, but as Iran works to buttress an Alawite ally in Syria, the Zaydi Shiite Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon, it only reinforces the notion that the Islamic Republic is looking to upend the status quo and impose Shiite hegemony wherever possible. We should expect the region’s Sunni powers to do all that they can to push back.
2. More trouble for Shiite minorities
Despite protestations to the contrary from Sunni-led states like Bahrain, the reality of Shia life in much of the Middle East has long been oppression. In Shia-majority states dominated by Sunnis like Bahrain, or where there are substantial Shia minorities like in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Yemen, there has always been suspicions that Shiites are fifth columnists for Iran.
3. Dramatic increases in the military capabilities of Iranian proxies
Consider Hezbollah the model. In the years since Iran founded the Lebanon-based terrorist group, its capabilities have grown dramatically. Notwithstanding United Nations Security Council resolutions barring the transfer of weapons, Iran has aggressively upgraded Hezbollah’s lethal power. . .

8. Blood thirsty Republicans want war with Iran to enrich Halliburton
The second nobel prize is coming, book it. They gave him one FOR NOTHING, surely they’ll give him one for this crap.
Maybe the 9th unplanned result of the Iran deal, will be a king size war. Weakness and appeasement always bring war.
WWIII.... tick.. tick.. tick.. tick.. tick.. tick.. tick.. tick..
people haters plan in reducing population by a few billion..
9. America may burn in nuclear fire. The Progs will do nothing.
10. Israel will be attacked.

I see a bad moon rising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightning.
I see bad times today.
Don’t go around tonight,
Well, it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes a-blowin’.
I know the end is comin’ soon.
I feel rivers overflowin’.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
Don’t go around tonight,
Well, it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
Alright!
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
Well, don’t go round tonight,
Well, it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
Don’t come around tonight,
Well, it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
ABC just called it an ‘historic deal’ - Oh, it will probably be historic alright.
The ugliness is coming from all sides.. The Shia Twelvers are more than happy to do their part in hastening their messiah’s return. In the end, I wish we would just let them alone to fight it out amongst themselves. Unfortunately, we are currently engaged in WW3 and global economic and cultural wars at the same time.
And the year of the Shemittah is drawing to a close. Hey, who knows, maybe the world will still be spinning in January, but I am not counting on it. We did survive the end of the Mayan calendar, so maybe there is hope.
Israel bombed a proposed nuclear facility in Syria in 2008: http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/the-story-of-operation-orchard-how-israel-destroyed-syria-s-al-kibar-nuclear-reactor-a-658663-6.html “ The Story of ‘Operation Orchard’: How Israel Destroyed Syria’s Al Kibar Nuclear Reactor”
If Israel feels threatened, they will find a way to act. Doesn’t this treaty also provide protection for Iran??
Why did we even have to have a deal? What bargaining chips did Iran have that we were interested in? We did not want them to get nuclear weapons so we imposed sanctions. It was the best strategy available, short of war. How are WE better off now?
We all get to praise Obama and cheer at the awarding of the next Nobel Peace Prize!!!
Basically, what they’re not admitting is there is nothing short of war that is going to stop Iran. And it’s quite obvious that Mother Russia wants Iran to have the bomb. So war with Iran is going to give Pooty-Poot fits.
Maybe Obama “has more flexibility after the election” and we’re seeing it in progress.
It’s a whole new world. Going where we knew it was going to go, though.
Ezekiel 38.
Who says that these effects are “unplanned”?
Mama Jarrett’s happy, and that’s what counts.
It is unraveling pretty quickly. Turn them against each other and let them destroy themselves
9. Nuclear war in the Middle East, spreading world-wide ... according to plan.
I just read in a blog post that there is a clause in the agreement that Obama pledged the United States military would protect Iran’s nuclear program from attack from other countries like Israel should they decide to attack. Is this freaking true?
