Kerry failed to act on pre-9/11 tip

Top Obama administration officials testified Thursday that the U.S. would help ensure the “physical security” of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure as part of the nuclear agreement they reached with the Islamic republic two weeks ago.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) asked the assembled officials whether a controversial provision in Annex III of the agreement obligated the U.S. to help protect Iran’s nuclear program from future sabotage by Iran’s opponents, notably Israel.
The charge was ducked, but not denied, by Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz.
“I believe that refers to things like physical security and safeguards,” Moniz said. “All of our options and those of our allies and friends will remain in place.”
Secretary of State John Kerry clarified that the annex in question was designed to ensure that Iran’s nuclear capacity was “adequately protected” from unconventional threats like cyber warfare.
“The purpose of that is to be able to have longer-term guarantees as we enter a world in which cyber warfare is increasingly a concern for everybody,” Kerry said. “If you are going to have a nuclear capacity, you clearly want to be able to make sure that those are adequately protected.”
Israel has sabotaged Iran’s nuclear program through cyber warfare in the past.
Such stalling tactics will be more difficult to carry out if the U.S. provides Iran with “training and workshops” to counter nuclear security threats, as the deal requires.
Israel is widely believed to be the ultimate target of an Iranian nuclear weapon. It is one of the leading opponents of the agreement.
Un-fricking-believable.
Unbelievable!
WHAT IN THE GD EFFING F ARE THESE MORONS UP TO?????
FReep You John Kerry (FUJK)!! Traitor!!
I’m sorry, it may not be treason against our country but if Israel strikes it makes them our enemy. I’m sorry this deal needs to go down big time.

Are our soldiers going to be human shields against an Israeli strike?
THAT'S what's the sad part of this...
They’re not morons. “They” know exactly what they’re doing.
wow....there’s a mind blaster....
It’s prophecy. Every nation will turn against Israel (because they first turned against God).
Many years ago I was talking to a recently retired State Department employee who had been stationed at embassies around the world, but mostly in the middle east. He couldn’t wait for Iran to have nuclear weapons so they could “deal with the US on equal terms.” He believed that because the Russians had never used them in fifty years the Iranians wouldn’t either. It simply wasn’t fair that the US had a monopoly on power. (Need I add he was a flaming gay liberal?)
“To US it’s unbelievable, but to a large contingent of the American populace, it’s DESIRED...”
And they will support and defend their god-king no matter what he says or does.
The inmates are running the asylum!
Meaning from Israel.
Israel will give this admin the bird and continue their covert war on Iran & ISIS. This govt is evil and needs to be ignored!
What they are up to is............TREASON!!!!!!!!!!
"In a private conversation about the planned U.S.-led NATO missile defense system in Europe, President Barack Obama asked outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for space on the issue.
“This is my last election,” Obama told Medvedev. “After my election I have more flexibility.”
“I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” Medvedev said, referring to incoming President Vladimir Putin."

__________________________________________________
Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:
Obama: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space.”
Medvedev: “Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ...”
Obama: “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.”
Medvedev: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.”
“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.” That statement tells us much about the president’s mindset.
The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration. Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president’s comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.
In addition, there is the phrase “on all these issues,” implying more is at stake than just missile defense.”

When it comes to keeping America safe, we shouldn’t be too flexible:
