Obama: 'Fundamental Misjudgment' to Require Iran to Recognize Israel as Part of Deal
Weekly Standard ^ | 04/06/2015 | DANIEL HALPER

In an interview with National Public Radio, President Obama said that it would be a "fundamental misjudgment" to require that Iran recognize the Jewish state of Israel as part of the nuclear deal. The condition, rejected by Obama, was one that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested: A "clear and unambiguous Iranian commitment of Israel's right to exist," as Netanyahu framed it. -snip-- If suddenly Iran transformed itself to Germany or Sweden or France then there would be a different set of conversations about their nuclear infrastructure."

Talk about newspeak.
Recognizing Israel would prevent Iran from making a deal NOT to develop nuclear weapons. So by NOT recognizing Israel, Iran will be free to develop their nuclear program. Israel would have to rely on the grace of a country that does not recognize their existence to guarantee they won't annihilate them.
BUT if Iran fundamentally transformed itself into a civilized country they would would be required to recognize Israel.
Did I correctly translate the Obama-ese ?

So when dealing with a nation that wants to commit genocide a condition that recognizes the target of genocides right to exist is counterproductive?

Obama and Iran have one very important thing in common, BOTH despise Israel and refuse to recognize Israel’s right to exist

Its really difficult to listen to this pompous maoist gasbag stand up there and speak as if he knows what he’s talking about. Like we don’t know he’s lying through his yellow teeth.

It was a fundamental misjudgement on the part of 47 million plus (2008) and 52 million (2012) voters to elect this moron in the first place.

That’s a fact. And our children and our children’s children will be paying the price for that misjudgment, and that price will be HEAVY!

Wow. Not just a mere ‘misjudgement’. For the Israelis it had to be a ‘Fundamental misjudgement’.

Here was the original interview source:

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2015/04/06/397892256/obama-conditioning-iran-nuclear-deal-on-recognition-of-israel-is-misjudgment

It was bad enough hearing this BS from Marie Harf on Friday but I knew damn well her position came straight from the top.

Now we have yet more confirmation of the source of the anti-semitic lunacy spewing out of the White Hut.

Which is the section of the Constitution that deals with forcing a mentally unbalanced president from office?
Even FruitLoops Biden would be better than this “fundamentally transform” fixated mental case.
HELLO!!??
Where are the GOP members that wear big-boy pants?

Yeah, somebody in the White House came up with that phrase since it was both gloriously pithy-sounding and meaningless at the same time - so they fed it to Obama to use.

It was a “fundamental misjudgment” on the part of obamas’ mother to let this bastard be born.

Apparently one can be a murderous Jew hater and still be a moderate regime for the obama regime.

I respectively disagree FRiend. Obama's foreign and domestic policy are working exactly as planned.
