The New Terrorist-Industrial Complex

The administration of Pres. Donald Trump is considering whether to disallow the sale of Boeing passenger planes to Iran.  This hideous addendum to the horrendous P5+1 deal with Iran, where the U.S. was the most important signatory, was another one of Pres. Barack Obama's expressions of "goodwill" to the murderous, anti-American regime of crackpot ayatollahs.  Jonathan S. Tobin, writing at the time of the transaction with Boeing, tells us, "Not only has Boeing gotten into bed with terrorists, the same can be said of those who are counting on all the new business ties changing the nature of a terrorist regime." 

Presumably, having a big business deal with a terrorist nation (Iran is still on the U.S. State Department list of state sponsors of terrorism) does not, per the American left, make us complicit with terrorism; rather, it is a way of ameliorating "tensions" and "strains."  Nonetheless, the American left is still fond of quoting Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address caution that the U.S. constitutional republic faces threats from the "military-industrial complex."  In light of this precedent, perhaps we may consider the "Boeing exception" as ushering in a new age: that of the terrorist-industrial complex.   

This shift, whereby global business interests, the government of the United States, and our P+5 partners all collude with the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, is ominous for Europe and the U.S., as well as for the stability of the Middle East.  And the implications extend even farther than that.  This deal portends a great shift in the moral-ethical climate of the entire planet.  The entire power elite of the world is hereby going beyond mere greedy excess or dealing first and foremost in terms of expediency.

Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism....does Boeing not care about that...and President Trump should NOT allow Boeing to go ahead with the sale at this time.

America's FIRST Muslim President always went out of his way to help other Muslims, especially when they were killing infidels.

Again!

I do NOT see the word “congressional”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[prophetic]

I still remember that sickening feeling when Obummer did that executive order telling NASA to open all our space tech & secrets to Muslim nations to "help them in space development" i.e. make ICBMs to shoot long at us.

Was that order to NASA rescinded by Trump yet?
