Obama defends Iran deal, tells Israelis if anybody messes with you USA will be there
Jerusalem Post ^ | 04/06/2015

Posted on 04/06/2015 5:28:26 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

In New York Times interview, Obama says it has been "personally difficult" for him to hear expressions that his administration has not done everything it could to look out for Israel’s interest.

American would stand by Israel if it’s attacked by any state, including Iran, US President Barack Obama pledged in an extensive 46 minutes interview with The New York Times in which he advocated for the new framework deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear program.

“What we will be doing even as we enter this deal, is sending a clear message to the Iranians and to the entire region that if anyone messes with Israel, America will be there,” Obama told The New York Times reporter Thomas Friedman.

His interview with Obama, which was taped on Saturday and published on Sunday, was unusual both in its digital format and length.

It gave Obama an extended forum to defend the framework deal, which was agreed upon last week by Iran and the six world powers, including the US. A binding document will only be finalized in June.

In a calm and measured voice Obama explained that this deal was the best diplomatic option to halt Iran’s nuclear threat. It would, he said, provide an almost foolproof monitoring system to ensure that Tehran did not produce any nuclear weapons for at least 20 years.

“I have been very clear that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on my watch,” Obama said. “They should understand that we mean it.”

By the US, under Obama, being there he means that physically from the perspective of Israel being about 5500 miles east of the DC.

Oh.... We should all feel so secure. Iran will not get nuclear bombs before January 2017.

The man is an idiot talking with idiots.

Thanks. American Thinker has an essay today about the power of imagery, which is why I make memes.

“The takeaway is that images are the most powerful means of communication. The human brain is designed to process images rather than words, and it may even be instinctive for us to accept any image as the truth. This was certainly the case until our ancestors learned to draw pictures. Images can also fascinate us and hold our attention in seconds, in contrast to words, in which the Propaganda Man may lose interest.”

My Pappy used to say when I asked for something just wish in one hand and $hit in the other to see which one fills the fastest, this piece reminded me of that.

Obama said it was important for Israel to remain above partisan politics.

Now that Netanyahu won the election in spite of Obama's efforts to defeat him.

“I have been very clear that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on my watch,” Obama said.

"The Mullahs and I have an agreement that their first nuclear bomb test will occur on the first day of the Cruz Administration," 0bama concluded.

Parse his words. "On my watch."

On his successor's watch, surely, and Baraq will be right there to criticize while still getting what he really wants.
