Russian Missile Sales to Iran Cross White House ‘Red Line’
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 4/14 | Adam Kredo

Russia’s announcement on Monday that it will proceed with the sale of advanced missile systems to Iran crosses a so-called “red line” established by the Obama administration in 2010, according to comments by senior administration officials.

Following years of dissent from the United States, Russia announced on Monday that it would proceed with the sale of the advanced S-300 air defense missile system to Iran, which has been vying to purchase the hardware for years.

The announcement sparked criticism from the Obama administration, which has been pressuring Iran since at least 2010 to withhold the sale.

So, Obama has no criticism for Iran buying these missles but goes off on Russia for selling them. Why is one not just as evil as the other?

With Saudi Arabia now involved in fighting in Yemen, how does the ME madness not have everyone taking sides?

Sure would've been nice if everyone could've gotten together to disintegrate ISIS.

His State Department won’t release details nor will his White House. Yet by some accounts Iran gave up nothing for the deal. Harf claimed they were three months away from “breakout” and the “deal” supposedly lengthened by a factor of SIX. In her own words. Take “breakout” for what you will.

In the face of this, the Pretender is pissed Russia sells SAM systems to IRAN? Ostensibly, the Pretender agreed to sanction lift. Those missiles’ sales were Russia’s contribution to the ‘sanctions’. With the imminent ‘deal’ how then does the Pretender claim “unfair!”

Obama and his "red lines" that mean nothing always remind me of this:

You’d think at some point they’d realize how stupid they sound.

Well, we totally endorsed Saudi Arabia’s tanking of the oil market to stick a finger in Russia’s eye, and this is how they respond? I don’t get it......

Mark Levin EXPOSES how US Senate just GUTTED constitutional treaty power and GAVE IT TO OBAMA

Posted by The Right Scoop on Apr 14, 2015 at 6:51 PM in
By The Right Scoop

Mark Levin exposes the treachery in the US Senate today, who he says just capitulated completely to Obama by gutting their own constitutional duty to approve treaties, giving it solely to Obama. So in short, Obama can make a treaty with the Islamo-Nazis in Iran without submitting it to the Senate and the Senate can only stop it if they can get enough nays to vote against it.

Levin explains below:

Apparently, Russia doesn't really care what the GOP thinks about Iranian sanctions. They want the money that can be made in Iran.

I wonder what China will do when the GOP tries to cut off China's Iranian oil supply.
