When the enemy (Iran) comes to town, we should give them what they deserve

Last summer, the United States, Iran, and other world powers, minted the so-called Iranian Nuclear Deal. After which, at this time last year, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani triumphantly told the U.N. General Assembly in New York City that the deal was “a brilliant example of victory over war” that “sets a strong precedent” and would “serve as a basis for foundational change in the region.” I’m sure we’ll hear much of the same when Rouhani addresses the UN again on Thursday.

As he did a year ago, Rouhani will no doubt talk about peaceful intentions; he’ll make the case that Iran is complying with the term of the nuclear deal; and he’ll declare Iran open for business. And, in each case, he will employ the deceptive and dangerous Iranian double-speak Tehran trades in reflexively. Iran talks peace—but promulgates terrorism and radical Islam, while an uncritical American press and feckless international class turns a blind eye to ongoing UN violations. All the while the Iranian regime uses recent cash infusions and new business to expand their radical ambitions.

This week Iran will use the grandeur of the U.N. to gain further credibility; but, to quote candidate Barack Obama, “you can put lipstick on a pig…but it’s still a pig.” Make no mistake about it: despite the foolish efforts of the current American administration to put lipstick on the Iranian nuclear deal, the regime there remains our avowed enemy. Iran wants to kill Americans. I’ve seen them do it in Iraq. They might even wait 10 years (cue, sarcasm) for the means to do it on a much larger scale…the timeframe after which our current “deal” expires. Just ask our friends in Israel.

Honorable mention goes to our Republican controlled Congress, does it not? Congress could have stopped anything and everything destructive this administration (and the Supremes, for that matter) has done.

And to this day obama STILL gets carte blanche from the Branch who’s supposed to represent We the People.

Iran wants nuclear weapons. Perhaps we will give them what they want.

Say what? It makes absolutely no sense that Iran would want to kill Americans in Iraq since we accomplished their goals for them. We invaded Iraq, displaced the Baath Party and de facto installed a Shia dominated government. Remember: Iran's 8 year war with Iraq was purely defensive. They never dreamed they could install a Shia government in Baghdad.

By the way, Fox News was one of the biggest cheerleaders for that invasion. Keep that in mind when you read or hear anything from that source.

"In a 2014 New Yorker interview, Obama said his goal was to create a 'new equilibrium' in the Middle East.

In the short run, at least, his signature diplomatic undertaking can be counted on to bring more violence to this volatile region.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the [Obama-Putin Iran deal] agreement is formally known, provides the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism an infusion of somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion of unfrozen assets and a great deal more of continuing revenues as businesses and governments around the world rush to profit from oil-and-gas-rich Iran's reintegration into the world economy.

The agreement relaxes the international isolation of the Islamic Republic and ratifies Tehran's status as a nuclear threshold state. And it relieves restrictions on Iran's acquisition of weapons, including ballistic missiles. ..."

REMEMBER, the SCOTUS says that Driving a Vehicle is A CONSITUTIONAL RIGHT and MAY NOT BAE ABRIGED, or IMPAIRED, in any way by ANYONE (SCOTUS Rulibg on Sept 21, 2016).

What we REALLY need to do is move the UN HQ to somewhere more befitting the character of the UN - somewhere like Caracas, Jakarta, Beirut or Pyongyang, for example...

[DoodleDawg]

Bottom line, New York City—the city we love that, as we saw last week, remains an active terror target—should not open its arms to the leader of a regime that remains the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

How is New York opening its arms?

[Kaslin]

You got it.
