"Death to America!"

Critics of President Obama’s recent deal with Iran have rejected the president’s assertion that the only alternative to his deal is war. They think that more aggressive sanctions could have changed Iran’s behavior, given the economic costs the current sanction regime has inflicted. A corollary to this argument assumes that the majority of Iranians are pro-American and sick of the puritanical and corrupt mullahcracy and its willful isolation of the country from the global order. Increase the pressure of sanctions, and this mass of discontent could ripen into regime change or at least a moderation of its behavior.

These are not the droids you’re looking for.
“Increase the pressure of sanctions, and this mass of discontent could ripen into regime change or at least a moderation of its behavior.”
Which is what happened in 2009 before Obama sided with the Mullahs. The reason we are here now is Obama set all of it in motion 7 years ago, just for this moment.
An incremental application of force in response to Iranian intransigence and stonewalling during negotiations––destroying the Arak nuclear reactor, for example––would have convinced Iran that there was a serious price to pay for their obstructionism, lying, and cheating on their obligations. Those who preach “force solves nothing” should remember the 1988 Tanker War, sparked by Iran’s threats to disrupt oil shipments transiting the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq war. Iran backed off when Ronald Reagan retaliated for a missile attack on an American warship by eventually destroying two Iranian oil platforms, two Iranian ships, and six Iranian gunboats. But once Obama made clear in word and deed that even a limited military option was off the table, the mullahs were confident that they could ratchet up their demands, pocket the sanctions-relief payola, and achieve their aim a little later rather than sooner.

Odumbo is the worlds greatest coward. He would never go to war against our enemies, only our own people. He definitely hates this country and has shown it time and time again. He has used us at his whim and will keep his “in your face” crap coming until the day he is gone and perhaps even beyond. He is NO AMERICAN.
